[Spell] is there a way to use chaos twice in a trigger

[andreasaspenberg]

just a small question and if it is please explain how to do it.

 

[WaterKnight]

Huh?

 

[andreasaspenberg]

i didnt ask for a question but for an answer to the question.

 

[WaterKnight]

Yes. Yes, I do not recognize your problem.

Have you tried to just do it?

i tried to use chaos twice in a trigger but it only worked once. anything you can tell me that would be helpful.

 

[Solu9]

Does the Chaos have cast time, cooldown, mana cost and so on? Anything that would hinder it's use twice in a row?

 

[WaterKnight]

Are you referring to the Chaos ability (Srtt)? Well, it's an ability, it has basically nothing to do with how triggers work. You are doing something wrong in the trigger then/do not apply Chaos properly (but because of its own mechanics). Perhaps you are trying to chaos-morph a unit twice immediately but it possesses a delay, therefore skipping one.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

the only part of chaos i changed was unit and requirement. the trigger uses a timer before adding the new version of chaos to the new unit.

 

[Solu9]

Do you delete the old Chaos ability before adding the new one?

Post your trigger instead of having us guess what you are doing.

 

[WaterKnight]

You can check the return value of UnitAddAbility to see if it accepts the ability giving. In any way check the parameters. Have you rendered the last Chaos ability permanent with UnitMakeAbilityPermanent? Respectively have you given Chaos in the object editor? Try to avoid overlappings. But well, guess it comes down to us checking your exact map scenario for the mistake.

 

[andreasaspenberg]

what do you mean with deleting the old chaos ability before adding the new one?

 

[Nichilus]

Why don't you simply replace that unit using the GUI action "Unit - replace unit"? Seems a lot easier a cleaner to me than using 20 chaos abilities like you do.

 

[Solu9]

what do you mean with deleting the old chaos ability before adding the new one?

I assumed you added the Chaos ability when the trigger was run.

Again. Post your trigger instead.

i dont have the trigger anymore so i cant post it. i need to transform units with items intact and in 2 steps. the first step is the spell that is based on channel. the unit then transforms into a metapod where it later becomes a different unit after a timer. i tried to remove chaos before adding the new version but it still doesnt work. the unit gets stuck on the metapod stage every time.
