🏆 Texturing Contest #33 is OPEN! Contestants must re-texture a SD unit model found in-game (Warcraft 3 Classic), recreating the unit into a peaceful NPC version. 🔗Click here to enter!
It's time for the first HD Modeling Contest of 2024. Join the theme discussion for Hive's HD Modeling Contest #6! Click here to post your idea!
Basically a unit has flashlight ability. When clicked on, a light will be created on the overhead of the unit. When clicked on once again, that very same light will be destroyed for that corresponding player's unit.
The following trigger does not destroy the light though:

Set flashlight[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = True
You will need two triggers to do that. First to light and second to kill it and run other actions.
Also use event unit starts effect of an ability, yous can cause bugs.
Uhm.. and your trigger makes no sense to me(it's true that I haven't triggered for a while)
And I'll ned a bit more info how that spell works.
So separate this one trigger into two triggers? And okay ill change the event to "Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability".
The trigger is actually more complex than it looks, theres multiple triggers for each weapon item. The spell is just a modified simple instant-click Channel spell. Completely triggered. I have an omnilight model which is used for the spell. When the unit clicks on the spell, the triggers would Run and create a omnilight above the unit casting. This would also set the Flashlight(for the player number of the casting unit) and set this to True. The variable Flashlight is just to check the conditions whether to destroy or create the omnilight above the unit for the player since each player has their own stored variable.
flashlight(1) = player Red
flashlight(2) = Player Blue
etc...
The goal of the spell is to just illuminate the playing field of the unit and physically provide a lighting atmosphere.
As for the complex part... the unit has a variety of weapon items they can use. When used they will change into a different unit (giving different stats and damage etc), so replacing the unit using Chaos Abilities. When the unit is morphed with Chaos creating SFX above the unit can only be possible with custom triggers, as told to me by Pharoh and Berb.
Now the flashlight works properly but theres so many problems on switching with weapons. When I click it with the Flashlight omnilight not on the overhead of the unit, it is created when its not supposed to unless Flashlight is equal to False. Also when unequipping the weapon, the unit switches to Melee Chaos then quickly switches back to the Shotgun AA12 unit. So basically I cannot unequip and remove the AA12 shotgun from my character. Also the omnilight is not destroyed after clicking multiple times.
Set flashlight[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = True
Now here comes the complex part of the other trigger. I have changed it a bit and updated it here and there. So basically the problem is that the unit is stuck with the weapon and cannot revert back to the melee unit. Could someone explain to me exactly what is causing the unit to morph into melee but a second later itll morph back into the shotgun unit, so im stuck on shotgun :|
So to simplify the issue:
Unit casts light, var = true
omnilight is created on overhead
Unit uses shotgun item
unit morphs into shotgun item
light destroyed from old unit and attaches to new morphed unit
***Everything works perfectly up to here. Anyways continuing one...***
Unit uses light, var = false
omnilight is destroyed from overhead
Unit uses shotgun item
Unit morphs into Melee
**Less than One Second Later**
Unit morphs back into aa12 strangely and does not morph back properly to the melee unit
The trigger is comprised of 4 conditional actions.
Condition 1: If unit is equipped with AA12 Shotgun and flashlight = FALSE, then omnilight will be created above the morphed chaos unit
Condition 2: If unit is eqiupped with AA12 Shotgun and flashlight = TRUE, then destroy existing omnilight*
Condition 3: If unit is a Melee Unit and flashlight = FALSE, then omnilight will be created above the morphed chaos unit
Condition 4: If unit is a Melee Unit and flashlight = TRUE, then destroy existing omnilight *
*Omnilight would be created then destroyed in order to set that existing omnilight for the corresponding unit's owner

Bump and I have updated the triggers. I removed the loop conditions as it was too slow for it double created and destroyed the light models which was necessary. I also separated the 2 combined conditionals into 4 separate conditional triggers.
