Killing casting unit causes fatal error

[Kam]

Why does removing, killing, exploding the casting unit cause a fatal error here. The trigger works fine if the call to explode the caster is taken out.

• Combust
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Combust
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc42 = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 SFXDummyCombust for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at TempLoc42 facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Explode (Casting unit)
    • Unit - Add a 45.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 750.00 of TempLoc42) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Last created unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 400.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Fire
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempLoc42)

mayby if you set it to

• Unit - Make (Casting unit) Explode on death
• Unit - Kill (Casting unit)

also you should use triggering unit instead of casting unit

Maybe because the spell is still ongoing on this event and therefore cannot be successfully disposed. Try "Ends/Finishes casting" instead.

Add a Wait of 0.00 seconds.

 

[Kam]

None of this fixes it, I'm perplexed.

 

[Pharaoh_]

It's your ability, I guess. What ability did you base it off?
I recreated your trigger and it works for me.

 

[Maker]

I created the same trigger and it didn't crash for me.

Remove the condition and try it with some other spell.

Move the explode unit function to be the last function call then add longer wait ( 1 second) before it, use triggering unit.

Perhaps that helps to determine whether it's the ability that bugs it.

 

[Kam]

It must be the ability, I need it to be a instant spell so I was basing it off of stomp.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Try Channel with Target Type: No target (instant) or Howl of Terror/Roar/Battle Roar with Targets Allowed: None and buff removed.

Sigh. I'm guessing it has something to do with my map, I transfered the spell and trigger to your test map and it worked fine.
