Help with my Loop

[TwistedFirestarter]

So like, skipping the intros since i can see no such forum here, i've tried modifying this trigger in several ways and such but i can't seem to get it to work.

You see what its suppose to do (according to my understanding) is loop through the numbers 1 - 10, doing whatever i set it to do, until it reaches 10 or is stopped by a condition etc.

Now the problem lies with the 'wait' parts. For one reason or another, the trigger just stops when it reaches either of the 'wait''s. Ive tried removing them and it looped through with no problems, so I've surmised that the problem lies with the 'wait''s although it could just as easily be the fact that i don't completely understand how the loop works and therefore am doing something wrong... halp me plz

• Inverted Harmony Main
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Inverted Harmony (item)
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Greater than or equal to 1.00
            • And - All (Conditions) are true
              • Conditions
                • (Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Greater than (Life of (Target unit of ability being cast))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Set mana of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 100.00)
            • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) + 100.00)
            • Wait 1.00 seconds
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • (Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Greater than or equal to 1.00
                • And - All (Conditions) are true
                  • Conditions
                    • (Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Greater than (Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast))
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 100.00)
                • Unit - Set mana of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)) + 100.00)
                • Wait 1.00 seconds
              • Else - Actions

It's the wait parts that messes things up. Why do you have them anyway?

 

[TwistedFirestarter]

Because i wanted to make it a damage over time kind of spell... do you know of any way around it?

…

Create a timer and start it in that trigger, then create another trigger with the effects you want.
Increase an integer variable by 1 every time that trigger is activated, if the integer is under 10, start the timer again.

I hope you understand, it isn't really hard ^^
(Timers are always better than wait, because waits are actually 'random' numbers around the number you choose).

Well doing it like that certainly wont work
I suggest using this:

and editing it to heal instead of dealing damage. Unless you want to write your own code.

It does work actually
But yeah, Paladon's system is already completed and Paladon is an amazing spell-creator, so you better use that system ^^

Well, it could work but afaik the way is not efficient at all and kind of removes the MUI-factor of the looping?

You can make it MUI as well, but it's like you say: it's not easy and not really efficient =/
It was the first thing that popped into my mind ^^

Well, doesn't matter anyway, you've given a good system - problem should be solved
