So, my spell is supposed to loop the timer as to how a timer should. However, this particular spell for some reason instantly loops till 0 in less than a second span (while the ability is supposed to be about 10 seconds at the first level). I have debugged triggers to show the issue that allows me to get this conclusion. I use patch 1.31 for this particular work.
The TSE is based on a to-be-uploaded patch of Timed Spell Effect [Patch 10] (the one on the map is patch 12). I attached the test map below. Before recommending me to switch to a countdown timer, I already tried using a countdown timer with the same result. Also, TSE logic is very similar to this, so TSE should've bugged out if this bugs out, but the test map shows it does not.
I'll be more than happy to share spell ownership to anyone who can find the core cause, as this frustrates me and my spell making targets.
