Loop question

[Itachi2020]

Hello Hive,

I'm getting back into map making, so apologies about the noob question as I can't remember the best way of doing this.

Basically, trigger 1 sets the value of an ability based on hero attributes. Trigger 2 loops a floating text showing the heals received on top of the unit.
Trigger 1 fires trigger 2, but it only works for player 1 currently and only if the ability is used once at a time.

I need help making trigger 2 uniquely work for each time the ability is cast. I know this can be linked with a damage machine and a floating text system, but i would like to learn better how to create loops that work uniquely.

Let me know if you can help! Cheers.

Spoiler: Trigger 1

• Trigger 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Regeneration
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Regeneration for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Ability - Set Ability: (Unit: (Casting unit)'s Ability with Ability Code: Regeneration )'s Real Level Field: Hit Points Gained ('Rej1') of Level: 0 to (((Real((Intelligence of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 1.00) x 5.00)
        • Set VariableSet TempString = (String(((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)) x 1)))
        • Set VariableSet RegenerationUnit[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Set VariableSet Regeneration[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = 0
        • Trigger - Run Regeneration Floating <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Spoiler: Trigger 2

• Trigger 2 - Floating Text Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
      • Then - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (RegenerationUnit[1] is alive) Equal to True
            • Regeneration[1] Less than 5
          • Then - Actions
            • Set VariableSet TempPoint = (Position of RegenerationUnit[1])
            • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads TempString at TempPoint with Z offset 0.00, using font size 10.00, color (0.00%, 100.00%, 0.00%), and 0.00% transparency
            • Floating Text - Hide (Last created floating text) for (All players)
            • Floating Text - Show (Last created floating text) for (All players)
            • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards 90.00 degrees
            • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
            • Floating Text - Change the fading age of (Last created floating text) to 1.00 seconds
            • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 2.00 seconds
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
            • Set VariableSet Regeneration[1] = (Regeneration[1] + 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

Cheers!

Seems like the tutorial on indexing is what you need to make this MUI: Visualize: Dynamic Indexing
Also, your first trigger should not run, but turn on the second trigger.

Thanks Nichilus, definitely what I was looking for!
