Well I've been stuck on this problem for over a week. I've bugged enough people through messages and just figured to let everyone know what's going on... for whatever reason in the SP Loop, CurrentIndex is being set to 0 even though MaxIndex is still at 1 (I know this through the messages I have it displaying). Anyone know whats going on? There are 2 other triggers that I felt were irrelevant to this (Config & Death), if you need them, please let me know and I'll update my post.
EDIT: It seems its not the index, its SP_Group[CurrentIndex] thats causing problems. If I run 2 instances of the spell these are the messages I get.
EDIT2: Problem was this.
