[Trigger] doesn't work

[powerloll]

hello i got a problem with a test spell that i'm making.
srry that i don't know how to put a trigger in a post can someone tell me fast?
but on topic;
if you download the map you can see in the trigger editor that i have a special effect like this:
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of unit_target) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\HumanLargeDeathExplode\HumanLargeDeathExplode.mdl

the problem with that special effect is that it only works 1 time, after the second cast it doesn't show.

the second problem is a trigger that totally doesn't work:
Unit - Move caster instantly to (Position of unit_target)

don't be mean, its like my first spell >.>
don't get inspired by my names of the map and spells xD

You turn off loop1 in stop boom boom paw before the caster is moved.

The trigger keeps moving the unit continuously. The instant move issues a stop order. The trigger is thus ordering the unit to stop ten times per second. Turn the trigger off after moving the unit, not in the other trigger.

if i do that:

        • Set timer2 = 0.00
        • Trigger - Turn off stop boom boom paw <gen>
      • Else - Actions

the trigger stops before the lich king teleports for some strange reason :S

The logic in those triggers is not sound.

Start casting -> timer = 0
loop 1 runs the first time -> timer = 1
Timer is less than 10 -> create effect, sets timer to 0, turns off the looping trigger. Loop 1 trigger won't run any more

First of all, what is this trying to accomplish.... using my magick skills is this supposed to keep the position of the caster at the position of the unit for 1 second?...

Can you give us a description of what you actually want these triggers to do? Lay it out in english, step by step. What do you want to happen how often and for how long, followed by what.

i think this is one of those spells where the unit is moved continuously in a straight line such as when you want to him to move forward of its angle but this is just a guess
