Hi! I`ve spent too much time of trying to make it work. I just dont know what`s exactly wrong. The point of this ability is a trap - unit A casting an ability (placing a trap), then, when unit B falls into that trap, unit A can attack him from double of its normal attack range and deal a bonus damage (aka Caitlyn yordle traps xd). Here what i made, please, tell, where is (are) a mistake(s)... T.T

It looks like you're making a lot of mistakes by trying to contain everything in a single trigger. It's pretty hard to understand the trigger though.

This type of spell would probably use at least 4 triggers, one for creating the trap, one for activating the trap, one for tracking the state of enemies that stepped on the traps, and one to increase Caitlyn's attack range/damage when Attacking a trapped enemy.

Thank you for sending me that topic! Anyways, i just realised, that s because of my editor language and i can`t change it just now.

Yeah, i tried to do this with more then a single trigger, but then I cant set a custom value of new triggers` event///

So if i want to set a point value in one trigger i cant use it in event of next one... (exaple: i set a variable "Region [1]" as a trap placement, so i can make a new event for this trigger: "when unit enters Region [1]'' but i cant do the same with more then one trigger).

Some other notes:
It uses Unit Groups to track the Trap and the Trapped units.
It uses a Unit Indexer to link the Trap to Caitlyn which is then referenced in order to link the Trapped enemy to Caitlyn.
It uses Orders/Autoattacks to add/remove the bonus Attack Range.
It's completely MUI so you can give this ability to as many units as you want and it will still work without issues.
I left out the true sight component and made the traps last forever with no limit. But those additions could be added somewhat easily.

Some other notes:
It uses Unit Groups to track the Trap and the Trapped units.
It uses a Unit Indexer to link the Trap to Caitlyn which is then referenced in order to link the Trapped enemy to Caitlyn.
It uses Orders/Autoattacks to add/remove the bonus Attack Range.
It's completely MUI so you can give this ability to as many units as you want and it will still work without issues.
I left out the true sight component and made the traps last forever with no limit. But those additions could be added somewhat easily.

OMG!!!!!! TY so much, u did even more than i can imagine lol! i ll check it a litlle bit later cuz now i feel sick, but anyways you are my hero fr!!!
