[Solved] custom spells problem

[Mechcash]

Hey there,

I will directly adress the issue. When I import a spell ( copied everything: triggers, Objects etc.) I test the map and you guessed it, it won't work.
When I test the original Map that comes with the spell-download, it works fine. So where is the issue when I try importing it into my own map ... seems like I followed all intructions correctly and it not just for one spell, its for everyone I download and try to use :/ Iam able to see the ability and click it, but then nothing happens after the cast animation of the hero.

Thanks for the possible solutions in advance.

Check the spell configuration, the author might have mentioned where and what you should modify in order to make the spell work in your map. Also, according to your description, it probably is some trigger condition that's checking for the wrong spell (different raw code). Generally, this happens because when you copy object editor data from one map to another, their raw code changes, resulting in this behavior.

Or maybe you didn't have the option checked to copy variables from the test map.

Thanks for the hint, but I did

You should specify what you mean by "it won't work"

When I test my map. I can level the ability with my hero, but when he casts it nothing happens. No animation, no effect, no damage etc.
like it doesn't exist

And you are certain that the ability you copied over from the test map is the same one that is being referenced in the triggers?

I'd post your map if you don't know what i mean.

This is the spell. I copied everything exactly as told over to my map. There shouldn't be any issues as far as copying is concerned.

I don't need the map you downloaded. I need to check the triggers in YOUR map.

 

[Mechcash]

There you go

Yea, sometimes just copying isn't enough. From what you described, the ability doing nothing, you may have to manually set the ability in the trigger.

In the event that the spell uses JASS, you may have to set the call variable for the ability using a number and letter value (press "ctrl + d" in the object editor to view them)

It's pretty much what everyone mentioned here already. I opened the map and the first thing I checked was the configuration trigger. See what I highlighted:

Thank you man , you really fixed my issue, now it works

Guess in the future I need to look more detailed on the triggers for issues like that.

Thanks anyways, much appreciated. +rep
