[Trigger] Index problem about detecting if unit casts ability...

[Lord Marcus XVI]

It simply bugs out. Any fix?

It has waits, I think waits are bad. What exactly happens when it bugs out?

The effect of the ability (the suffer damage) against the target unit has some delay issues.

Delays just like these:
Let's just say I have 2 targets and 2 casters
- Caster 1
- Caster 2
- Target 1
- Target 2

EVENTS LOG
* At game time 10 seconds late:
Caster 1 uses this skill on Target 1 (he suffers damage)
* At game time 12 seconds late:
Caster 2 uses this skill on Target 2 (he does not suffer damage)
* At game time 15 seconds late:
Caster 1 uses this skill again on Target 1 (he suffers damage, and then the Target 2) <- these really bugs me out.

Remove the waits and de-index more properly. www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/visualize-dynamic-indexing-241896/

Check out my curse of terror. It is similar to what you are trying to achieve. Ill be updating it tonight.

Edit: hello i have updated my spell. To achieve this you need to store affected units in a unit group also store the damaging unit and the damage to be dealt on an enemy. Then create another trigger that finds the caster from where you store it using unit comparison. Then deal damage to the caster. Thats about it.
