[Solved] Lightning Creation triggers won't function (lightning doesn't appear)

[BlackEnvyX]

I just have one problem... the lightning doesn't appear! Can anyone help me with this problem? Thanks!

Here's the trigger -

• Environment Initialization
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set BUILD_SanctifiedTower = Sanctified Tower 0030 <gen>
    • Set BUILD_Shield1 = Shield Generator 0026 <gen>
    • Set BUILD_Shield2 = Shield Generator 0027 <gen>
    • Set BUILD_Shield3 = Shield Generator 0028 <gen>
    • Set BUILD_Shield4 = Shield Generator 0029 <gen>
    • Lightning - Create a Magic Leash lightning effect from source (Position of BUILD_Shield1) to target (Position of BUILD_SanctifiedTower)
    • Set EF_Shield1Lightning = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Magic Leash lightning effect from source (Position of BUILD_Shield2) to target (Position of BUILD_SanctifiedTower)
    • Set EF_Shield2Lightning = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Magic Leash lightning effect from source (Position of BUILD_Shield3) to target (Position of BUILD_SanctifiedTower)
    • Set EF_Shield3Lightning = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Magic Leash lightning effect from source (Position of BUILD_Shield4) to target (Position of BUILD_SanctifiedTower)
    • Set EF_Shield4Lightning = (Last created lightning effect)

Have you tried elapsed game time?

Bleh,ignore it. Mine works even though its map initialization.

I don't get it... mine works fine too:

show triggers

• Lightning
  • Events
    • Map initialization

  • Actions
    • Set POINT[1] = (Position of Peasant 0000 <gen>)
    • Set POINT[2] = (Position of Peasant 0001 <gen>)
    • Set POINT[3] = (Position of Peasant 0004 <gen>)
    • Set POINT[4] = (Position of Peasant 0003 <gen>)
    • Set POINT[5] = (Position of Peasant 0002 <gen>)
    • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source POINT[1] to target POINT[3]
    • Set LIGHTNING[1] = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source POINT[3] to target POINT[5]
    • Set LIGHTNING[2] = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source POINT[5] to target POINT[2]
    • Set LIGHTNING[3] = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source POINT[2] to target POINT[4]
    • Set LIGHTNING[4] = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source POINT[4] to target POINT[1]
    • Set LIGHTNING[5] = (Last created lightning effect)

Could it be that other triggers are interfering?

Could it be because I set the lightning to connect from unit to unit instead of from point to point?

Well, you're still connecting it from point to point, though you are leaking. How about you try to store the positions of the units in a point variable and try to connect them again.

It worked! Thanks a ton! Also thanks for the leak fix

+ rep

Lightnings are not connected by points or units or widgets,they are connected by reals.
