[Trigger] Ignite Effect doesn't work :-/

Dinodin · Oct 27, 2015

I've got another imported spell from a spellpack map to one of my maps but it doesn't seems to be working like it should... Well the flaming arrow actually gets fired and damages the enemies it hits but after the enemies are hit by the arrow it is meant to cause an ignite-effect but it doesn't seems to be working because enemies are not getting the ignite effect after being hit by the arrow...

Here is the triggers for the spell.

The first trigger doesn't have an event nor conditions. Give it the event "a unit starts the effect of an ability", check if the ability is the right one in the conditions, then you should be fine.

Actually the first trigger doesn't need "a unit starts the effect of an ability" the first 2 triggers works fine and like they should, it's just the ignite-effect trigger that doesn't works like it should...

Did you try running a debug message in thet "ignite-effect" block to see if its running?

Just put the Game - Display text to (All Players) function where you would "ignite" the unit. If you see the text, then it should, theoretically, be igniting the unit; which means there might be something wrong with the logic you used.

Ehm sorry I don't get it but I know it doesn't ignite the hitted units for the moment because they aren't suffering any damage over time but still the ignite special-effect is on the units because the special effect is created in the "Mars Flame Sniper Missile" trigger, it's just the "Ignite Effects" trigger which isn't working like it should, btw I've changed the name of the spell and edited it's initial damage and damage over time but I'm sure I did everything right..

Put the game message at the top of the damage over time trigger. If it displays, put it right abive where you famage the unit over time and see if it displays there. If the trigger didn't display, then put the game message where you turn that trigger on. The game message simply clues you into where the problem is.

Oh now I get it, thank you. I will try it now

No it still wont damage them... actually the text is showing up and doesn't matter where in trigger I put it so there is actually something wrong about the damage, it's supposed to cause 50% of the initial damage done over 5 seconds but it just wont cause any damage per second and the special-effects is never removed from the enemies :-/

Ok, so the next thing to do is to add a more sophisticated debug right before dealing damage. Display the name of the damaging unit and the amount of damage to ensure you have the right hashtable data. The damage target looks fine so you shouldn't have to debug that unit's name.

Then, add a text message above where you remove the dummy unit displaying the name of the dummy to see if you saved & loaded it via hashtable properly.

Sounds kinda complicated :-/ Hmm well maybe there is something wrong about the variables then?

Yes I was right.. There was something wrong with one of the variables but I fixed it now and the spell works like it should

[Trigger] Ignite Effect doesn't work :-/
