Hi, I am trying to use hashtables for the first time, that might be a part of the problem.
The objective is, that units can have stacks of 'hyperthermia', that damages them over time but those stacks diminish with 10% (with a minimum of 1) per second.
On the other hand, being near a fiery object or unit, increases the amount of stacks on target unit.

The first instance of damage always works fine. It deals the damage as expected.
But then it goes straight to the damage and stop part(trigger 2), regardless of how much damage/stacks they got.

So... i guess I am doing something wrong...

In addition, are there some other obnoxious mistakes or unnecessities in these triggers?

Hi Eriador.

I suggest you to take a look at my Effect Over Time System as it will be way easier to make this spell in that one instead.
I will help you make it if you do not find your way through it.

(However you should wait with using it until I uploaded 2.1 I am updating this system all over the time:
2.0 yesterday
2.0.1 yesterday
2.1 today/tonight )

No, I want to know the problem with this trigger, I need those stacks.

Those stacks can be used by other spells as instant damage, other spells can stop the diminishing of the stacks etcetera.

Found the problem... when the damage occurred, another trigger triggered, changing temp_real, screwing up the amount of damage.
