How to make MUI

[13oot-Me]

It's been a long time since I've tried creating any spells and even looking at an older one I made I can't tell what I'm doing wrong that makes this not MUI. I've attached a map with my spell on it, what's not working is it doesn't un-pause some units when it should be.

Please note that I am using Bribes Unit Indexer and Knockback2D for this spell.

look at my tutorial things a guier should know the chapter on how to index.

Hello. I attempted to fix the map for you. However I didn't notice any strange things about pausing (maybe what you are referring to in the main post is because the base spell is storm bolt and the main target is stunned for a really long time), only an issue with the MUI attribute of the spell, which I fixed already.

The knockback seems a bit strange, you may want to into it.

Test map attached.

Thanks Doomlord for fixing it up! The footmen were staying paused even if they weren't the main target of the spell, but only after a second hero with the same spell cast it. Still going to check out that tutorial for future reference.
