Hi, there seems to be a problem with the 2nd Cast of this Ability. When 2 Units cast it the same time, one of them doesnt move and attack his corresponding target. The spell tooltip is kinda like this: Caster throws swords to target direction, when it hits a target, the caster is then able to cast the 2nd stage of this ability which makes him rush to that target and attack it.
Here are the triggers:
Crane Wings Throw
Crane Wings Throw Loop
Crane Wings Charge Loop
Crane Wings Charge Loop
I test the MUI-bility of the trigger by automatically ordering another copy of the unit to cast the same ability.. Also if someone can tell me an easier way of doing this, IE getting the target unit from the first spell to be used in the 2nd spell, Id appreciate that much =D. Also theres still a third activation for this spell.
Some Explantion for the Variables
CW#_SkillDuration - is the seconds of availabilty of the next spell..
BTW the whole point of increasing that whenever the next spell is casted is to keep that ability, since the next spell is channelled. Really trying to not rely on Pauses =D

Does Crane Wings 2 completely replace the ability when Crane Wings 1 finishes? Or are these all separate moves? (perhaps you can make a test map so we can see) I'm sure there is an easier way, and restructuring the spell's code could make your life easier later on.
