Massive bug!

[Kabel]

There is a giant bug in my map!

I have test-played my map a couple of times now. Three times in a row and all of a sudden, the earthquake-ability-animation appears on almost every ability in the game! It appaers on every caster, when he casts a spell, even though the earthquake-animation is not added to the spell!

What can I do to get rid of this?

You mean the Earthquake effect? Start over (lol).

Well, not srsly, maybe some of the more advanced editors will tell you.

If all else fails though...

You mean the Earthquake effect?

Yes! That is the word I am looking for! The Earthquake effect! It ruins my map and it ruins my sleep!

Help me people, how do I get rid of it?

Look thought the triggers in the map, there should be an trigger that creates the effect everytime when an ability is cast.

Maybe you missed to make a condition for that trigger.

I have checked my triggers, no one creates the effect that appears all the time. Any more ideas what I can check to find and smash the bug?

As Reaper2008 suggested, if all else fails. Sounds improbable that it should happen just like that. Only triggers should be able cause such a bug. Just to be sure, try disabling ALL your triggers. If it stops happening after that, you can slowly try each trigger to see which does it. Problem sounds unlikely though.

Otherwise. Try exporting/importing all object data and triggers into a new map and see if it changes. It might "just" be a spooky, unexplainable phenomenon attach to the map. Maybe extraterrestrials planted that bug in ur map. But seriously, I think I would try everything in my grasp if I were you, or start over.

look for faulty trigger(s) with start spell effect event and no condition.

 

[Slaydon]

press the trigger name with the right click, inside the trigger area, right over actions, "Trigger" "/trigger" tags ( " = [] ), so we can look

This sounds stupid but what if it was the same String Order ID? Maybe that's why it does it on ALL of his spells.

Actually what will help is you posted a screenshot of a ability that suppose to use the earthquake effect.

People at Hiveworkshop, I have found the bug!

• Bombfire
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Value
  • Actions
    • Wait 1.50 seconds
    • Unit - Create 1 Earthquake for Neutral Hostile at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

A spell was supposed to create earthquakes, but I scrapped that idea and deleted the spell, but this trigger remained! That means, when any spell is casted an earthquake-unit is created!

Thanks for your advises and I hope someone can learn something from this!
