[Spell] Mui .?

[Justin Weaver]

Hey i need some help i have read the tutorial for MUI so i create a simple ability to test it but it doesnt work.. I know there is something wrong.. can you figure it out ?

• Spell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • INDEX[1] Equal to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Timer <gen>
      • Else - Actions
        • Set INDEX[1] = (INDEX[1] + 1)
        • Set INDEX[2] = (INDEX[2] + 1)
        • Set LoopCheck[INDEX[2]] = True
        • Set Real[INDEX[2]] = 10.00
        • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        • Set Dummy[INDEX[2]] = (Last created unit)

This is the run trigger:

• Timer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer INDEX[3]) from 1 to INDEX[2], do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • LoopCheck[INDEX[3]] Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set Real[INDEX[3]] = (Real[INDEX[3]] - 0.01)
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • Real[INDEX[3]] Less than or equal to 0.00
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit - Kill Dummy[INDEX[3]]
                • Set LoopCheck[INDEX[3]] = False
                • Set INDEX[1] = (INDEX[1] - 1)
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • INDEX[1] Equal to 0
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Set INDEX[2] = 0
                    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
                  • Else - Actions
              • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions

any answer will be accepted

What exactly does this trigger do? Also, don't use 0.01 for periodic timer. Use 0.03.

umm okay not sure of the exact problem but this is a mess:/
this should look like

base

• effect
  • Events
    • any
  • Conditions
    • any
  • Actions
    • Set Index = Index+1
    • Set data1[Index] = something
    • Set data2[Index] = something
      • ...etc...
    • If (all con are true) then
      • If - Conditions
        • Index == 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Loop<gen>
      • Else - Actions

• Loop
  • Events
    • Time - every 0.03 of game time ( 0.01 is too much, 0.03 is just enough)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each LoopInteger from 1 to Index, do
      • Loop - Actions
        • do here what you want
        • ...
        • when an instance is over just do
        • Set Index = Index-1
        • end check
        • If (all con are true) then
          • If - Conditions
            • Index == 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Turn off this trigger
          • Else - Actions

EDIT:

Specific trigger of yours

• effect
  • Events
    • Unit - starts the effect of an abil
  • Conditions
    • (ability being cast) equals to TC
  • Actions
    • Set Index = Index+1
    • Set duration[index] = 10
    • Unit - Create 1 footman ....
    • Set dummy[index] = (last created unit)
    • If (all con are true) then
      • If - Conditions
        • Index equals to 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Trigger - Turn on Loop<gen>
      • Else - Actions

• Loop
  • Events
    • Time - every 0.03 of game time ( 0.01 is too much, 0.03 is just enough)
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each LoopInteger from 1 to Index, do
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set duration[LoopInteger] = duration[LoopInteger]-0.03
        • If (all con are true then
          • If - Conditions
            • duration[LoopInteger] <= 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill dummy[LoopInteger]
            • Set Index = Index-1
          • Else - Actions
        • If (all con are true) then
          • If - Conditions
            • Index == 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Trigger - Turn off this trigger
          • Else - Actions

If you want to make that one work, you should have a trigger that initializes the index to -1

If not then change all standards to 1 instead of 0
The trigger that you showed right now wont work.

You are using an old form of indexing that is inefficient and can hit the op-limit or array limit rather easily. Take a look at my tutorial Things you should know when using triggers / gui. The chapter on how to index will show you how to properly index and de-index in a more efficient way.
