So i deleted, re added it. it worked. added another ability, same problem as original. is there a problem with my map that causes new triggers to malfunction?

Same process fixed it again, but itd be really annoying if I had to do this every time I wanted to add a new trigger

I figured it out. After searching through the forums an hour, someone had a similar problem however long ago; apparently it's caused when you add a jass trigger to the map, and then test map without saving first. Just a bug with NewGen Editor. So the solution, Save before Test
Thanks guys, +Reps
 
I have been coding (C++, Python, Java, Flash) for several years, and making maps for several games (sc1, C&C, Wc3, sc2, Hlf1, Hlf2, Other Source Games) since I was 8 years old. And I only just figured our how to use the For Loop in the WC3 GUI. :D
I don't believe you.
The way you coded that trigger is really bad.
There are few things you can't know like (TriggeringUnit = CasterUnit in this case) but, using argument instead 3 or more if then else blocks seems reasonable.

free time coding vs professional coding is an entirely different world. if all you have to say is something negative about my code, then don't bother. I don't care about your ad hominems. My code works and I've never had an issue in any map where my code made the map unplayable. If you must know or intend to insult my coding abilities again, i'll inform you that I tend to review my code and change it for optimum efficiency to my best knowledge. Thanks for the input
