[Trigger] Generate and launch orbs

[TheAyalalalalon]

Hello

I was trying to make an ability that should work this way

The hero generates a Custom unit above his position and make the custom move to the position of the nearest hero

The Custom unit will explode when it arrives to the saved position causing AOE damage but it will not follow the enemy if he moves

Every time the Custom unit dies the trigger should generate another that will follow the same commands until it reaches a specific limit

These are the triggers i have made for this spell but it does not work at all

Any help?


This trigger is the one who spawns the initial unit and sets the variables where the real 3 is the amount of units remaining to generate and the real 2 is a detection range that periodically updates to detect the nearest hero

CAST

• What is RATREAL[1]? I strongly recommend to change names and to use seperate variables. One for each use case, and not mixed array.
• The variable that counts remaining spanws should be an integer variable, not a real.

SPAWNS

• The trigger has no event, you don't need to turn it off.
• There is not necessarily a "Dyning Unit".
• The unit variables are ... I'm not sure what. I hope they are set properly somewhere else(?).

Other triggers slightly confuse me, too, like the periodic event, but we should talk about what the exact problem is / still will be first. Was/is the spawn at wrong position?

CAST

It was supposed to be a damage modifier but i did not add it because of the units not spawning in first place

SPAWNS

The periodic event is an attemp to some kind of system to detect the nearest hero to a point
It checks for heroes within an area of 110
If there are no heroes it updates the area of detection in 100 units

Made the changes you have suggested to me but the problem still here

Units are no generated and i dont know why
