[JASS] Immolation game freeze issue

[KitsuneTailsPrower]

Hello hive,

This is a follow up to my post here:

[JASS] - Freeze when 1 specific part of a trigger executes

This is a follow up on this topic (please read it first): [vJASS] - Solved! Looking for the cause of a freeze with this library I attempted to re-add the "hero dies bonus" trigger with some code tweaks but it still freezes. See comments in the code for more information. function...

I was able to solve the freeze by using Mana Shield as the passive instead of Immolation. The goal is to have a detectable buff on the unit from a toggle-able ability. However, if I ever want to have a unit have 2 toggleable abilities of this nature and/or not have to trigger the mana drain, is there a way I can configure immolation to not freeze the game?

I did update the cooldownreduction library so the minimum possible cool down is 0 instead of letting it go negative.

editL In case it helps the immolation ability has an AoE of 0 and target filters set to only trees.

Might be too low period for the immolation. There are some abilities that freeze the game with a period of 0.00. The freeze will occur at exactly 512 seconds of game time as long as the low period is active.

Unhelpfully my mind instantly goes to some over-engineered solution.

I typically want as much as possible of an ability to be code because then I have more control over it, for better or worse.
So if I wanted a toggle on/off ability I would make it so that on cast you remove ability 1 for ability 2 from the unit and then in a loop do whatever it is I want the ability to do.

It is a bit backwards but depending on how good you are it might be quicker to code it rather than figure out why the black box object editor doesn't work.

That's what I would do, Ability 1 puts them in a group, Ability 2 removes them from the group, instead of checking for a buff, check if the unit is in the group.

Alternatively I might use an indexer depending on other considerations made depending on what kind of game it is.
