Hashtable doesn't work for me...

...Posting error

Hello everyone. I'm making a MUI spell, and i really need to save the location of the casting in a unique variable, so i created a hashtable and saved it using the unit's handle ID, but when i load it, it's pointing the center of playable map area... This is the only thing i need to fix to complete my spell, so any help will be appreciated.

Here is the all the code:

• Inferno
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Inferno
  • Actions
    • Set TempLocation = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Hashtable - Save Handle OfTempLocation as 0 of (Key (Triggering unit)) in InfHas
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to INFCaster
    • Trigger - Turn on InfernoEff <gen>
    • Wait 0.80 seconds
    • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from INFCaster

• InfernoEff
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in INFCaster and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempLocation = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set Temploc2 = ((Load 0 of (Key (Picked unit)) in InfHas) offset by 300.00 towards ((Facing of (Picked unit)) + (Random real number between -45.00 and 45.00)) degrees)
        • Unit - Create 1 DummyFireball for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at TempLocation facing Temploc2
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to INFgroup
        • Trigger - Turn on InfernoLoop2 <gen>
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in INFCaster) Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

• InfernoLoop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.06 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in INFgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set TempLocation = ((Position of (Picked unit)) offset by 56.25 towards (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees)
        • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to TempLocation, facing (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees
        • Set TempLocation = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 150.00 of TempLocation matching ((((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of (Matching unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True)))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Number of units in TempUnitGroup) Not equal to 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempUnit = (Picked unit)
            • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from INFgroup
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Set tempreal = 151.00
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • (Distance between (Position of TempUnit) and (Position of (Picked unit))) Less than tempreal
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set tempreal = (Distance between (Position of TempUnit) and (Position of (Picked unit)))
                    • Set TempUnit2 = (Picked unit)
                  • Else - Actions
                • Unit - Cause TempUnit to damage TempUnit2, dealing 10.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
            • Unit - Kill (Picked unit)
          • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions

        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

Thanks
PD: Sorry for my poor english.

Did you create a hastable in map init trigger and set InfHas to last created hashtable?
Your triggers leak a lot, use:

• Custom script: call RemoveLoctaion (udg_TempLocation)

do it in each case given point is no used anymore.

wow i thought that simply creating the variable was enough... So a hashtable must be created and asigned to the variable. Thank you.

Don't forget about leaks, or your trigger won't be smooth and with casue a hard lag late game.

You really dont need the wait 0.8, coz you can loop it by saving the 0.8 to the hash and load/reduce it in the loop...

sample:
- save the 0.8 in the hash
- load it by a real variable in the loop
- make an if/then/else condition
- if REAL is greater than zero then reduce it via...
"call SaveReal(udg_InfHas, GetHandleId(GetEnumUnit()), 1, REAL - 0.04)" <<< this uses custom script
- after it reaches zero then that's the time to remove the picked unit from the group, then off the trigger

Making MUI spells contains ZERO waits...
