[Trigger] Making this GUI Black Hole spell MUI

[tenchisouzou]

Hi i'm new to mapping and am having trouble with getting this spell to be MUI.

I've imported a GUI unit indexer by Bribe
http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-unit-indexer-1-0-1-0-a-197329/

i followed the steps and added the system to my map.

i didn't edit anything, i.e, Unit Indexer trig and the jass script located on map name.

i tried setting custom integer variable to triggering units custom variable to my spell

and when i try to multi cast the spell with 2 different units with 2 different custom values, it doesn't work. The last casted spell overwrites the first one.

could someone help me fix this?

i have attached the map to this post.

thanks =)

i would try to help but i am really noob and before i try i have to ask what is MUI just meaning there can be multiple casts of one spell on the map at a time?

 

[Bribe]

It's because you're using the variable vCustom without setting it to the custom value of the unit each time. In your "Black Hole Pull" trigger, for example, you don't set the vCustom value so when you reference it you'll only reference it for the last hero who cast the spell.

that is true

how would i go about doing that?

i tried setting vCustom = custom value of triggering unit in the black hole pull trigger and it didn't work.

sorry i'm really noob at this stuff

and thx very much for helping
