[Trigger] Frigid Blast

[Jay the Editor]

This is a spell that I uploaded it to the "Spells section". However, this spell crashes due to some weird problem. I've tried quite a long time to figure out the problem but I can't. The spell crashes when the dummy moved out of the boundary. Although I did check whether the point is in playable map area but still it crashes. I've asked several seniors in this workshop but there are no replies and so I decided to ask it here.

Active Ability
Spell Type: Point Target (turns to Instant after cast)
Cast Range: X Range
Jaina sends a small piece of crystal shard towards. She can activate it to cause a freezing explosion upon the area around that crystal, dealing damage to all the enemies around the area of the crystal and freezes them for 2 seconds. Damage and area of effect slightly increases by the distance travelled of that crystal.
Level 1: 50 base damage. Max 150 damage
Level 2: 100 base damage. Max 300 damage
Level 3: 150 base damage. Max 450 damage

Cooldown: 5 seconds

Spell inspired from DotA's Ancient Apparition's ultimate spell
The idea is unoriginal but at least it does not follow exactly how the spell works
I uploaded it because as far as I can see no one upload this spell yet

I am almost Positive that you can only get units out of the playable map by using SetUnitX/SetUnitY, so units leaving the world isn't the problem.
what is the error message?

 

[defskull]

Wait, it causes what error ?

I downloaded your spell at the Spell Resource Section and tested it to cast out of boundary

The dummy is killed when next point is not playable path (meaning out of boundary region), which is a good thing.

So, what's the error then ?

Everything seems to be fine ?

 

[Jay the Editor]

To Magtheridon96

Document when the fatal errors occur and under what conditions so we can find a solution :O

I myself not very sure about it. :/ It seems to have certain kind of range when it crashes. Here's a picture of a sample mini-map to show when it crashed. In the picture, the coloured areas are when it crashes when the dummy moved out of bound. It still works when the dummy moves out of bound if it's not in those 'area'.

In the above picture mentioned, the game only crashes at certain point when the unit moved out of boundary especially from one corner to the opposite corner.
The above is a reply to Magtheridon96. In the spell, you can see that the review stated that "The spell causes fatal errors".

 

[Maker]

It is because the dummy is moved out of the map.

The test map has no boundary area. Boundary area is condsidered as not part of playable map area, but still part of the map.

You can either use a point that is slightly ahead of the dummy to do the out of map check or just give the map some boundary area.

 

[Jay the Editor]

I'm not very sure what do you mean, sir. :O

 

[defskull]

Maker, sometimes when you cast towards outside boundary (without re-clicking the spell hotkey) the dummy is killed when you enter unplayable path area, but certain times, it crashes

This occur almost "certain time" condition lol
