My trigger-based SF AI bypassing some condition!! HELP!!!

[abam96]

I am making my custom Shadow Fiend AI using GUI triggers for a custom map....
My current problem is related to its Ultimate Skill - Requiem of Souls function..
Here's how it supposed to work...
The SF AI will use its Requiem of Souls when;

• If - Conditions
  • (Number of units in Enemy Group) Greater than 0
  • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
    • Conditions
      • (SF has buff Wind Walk) Equal to True
      • (Number of units in Enemy Group) Greater than or equal to 3
      • (Percentage life of SF) Less than or equal to 35.00
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Current order of SF) Equal to (Order(tranquility))
          • (Percentage life of SF) Less than or equal to 40.00
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • (Current order of SF) Equal to (Order(tranquility))
          • (Percentage life of SF) Greater than 40.00
          • DistanceX Less than or equal to 400.00
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • RandomChance Less than or equal to 0.16
          • (SF has an item of type Rikimaru's Cloak) Equal to True
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • Shadowraze[Z]'s Cooldown Greater than 0.00
          • Shadowraze[X]'s Cooldown Greater than 0.00
          • Shadowraze[C]'s Cooldown Greater than 0.00
          • RequiemOfSouls' Cooldown Less than or equal to 0.00
      • And - All (Conditions) are true
        • Conditions
          • DistanceX Less than or equal to 300.00
          • Shadowraze[Z]'s Cooldown Greater than 0.00

Where,
- SF is "unit" "picked unit"
- Enemy Group is "unit group" "enemy within 800 AoE"
- DistanceX is "real" "closest distance of nearby enemy unit"
- Rikimaru's Cloak is "item" "provides Wind Walk buff/effect"
- Shadowrazes are "custom skills/abilities"
- Order ID of Requiem of Souls is "tranquility"

If some condition are met, the SF will do Requiem of Souls "order unit - tranquility". Otherwise, if its current order is "tranquility", I ordered them to "order - stop"....

OK, now for the problem, MY AI IS SOMEHOW ABLE TO BYPASS "unit count in Enemy Group condition", I don't know where my mistake is but i'm guessing the AI considered nearby allies as, enemies!!??

And the weirdest thing is, sometimes it will do Requiem of Souls even though no units is in range except itself/himself.... Here, im guessing, either dummy units are located, considered "alive" and as an "enemy" nearby the SF or it interferes with the SF itself, which will eventually try to use the custom made Requiem of Souls ability to mimic its original one (the ability which I made it from...), The Keeper of The Grove's Tranquility as a sign of desperation for it to "heal" itself even though I've set all values of its custom ability to absolute zero?

Please, help me find a way to fix it...

Okay, help me fix this, else just say this trigger fail and I'll make a better one

I put some very specific conditions and it seems to not fit the trigger screen so I'll just say it,

In group[1], I'm picking some SF units from Computer controlled players,
-matching unit must be alive
-matching unit must not be "busy selling items"
-matching unit must not be "in desperate need to heal itself"
-matching unit's computer AI is Insane AI
-matching unit must not be "in desperate need to evade other enemy SFs within range which are doing ultimate skill"
-matching unit is a hero

In group[3], I'm helping the picked SF units to find/search their enemies within 850 AoE,
-matching unit must be alive
-matching unit is a hero
-matching unit is not "the SF who's doing the searching"
-matching unit is an enemy of "owner of SF who's doing the search"
-matching unit is visible to the "owner of SF who's doing the search"

note: unit[2] = SF's targeted enemy = the one nearest to SF
real[1] = Distance from SF to SF's targeted enemy
real[2] = Cooldown of Shadowraze[Z]
real[3] = Cooldown of Shadowraze[X]
real[4] = Cooldown of Shadowraze[C]
real[5] = Cooldown of Requiem of Souls

"stormbolt" order ID is for my Sven's Storm Bolt stun ability(non-AoE)
"tranquility" order ID is for my Requiem of Souls ability

I won't pretend to understand your entire trigger, but have you tried breaking it up into several triggers by assigning variables and using them as triggering events? In my experience the more you put into a single trigger, the more difficult it becomes to identify the culprit when it glitches. It seems as though you are attempting to make 1 trigger do at least 3 functions. I might be way off and maybe there's a really good reason for what your doing. However, in attempting to identify a bug, it is useful to have short simple triggers so that you can pinpoint which one is misfiring. I'm probably no help, I know.

@TO
plz use hidden tags with ur trigger.

@Legal Ease
its easy to find a problem in any trigger just add game messages and see which one is displayed last. Then narrow it down till u find the action that is bad. If the whole thing runs use an integer check to see if the right integers are being displayed.

I thank you all

thanks for all the tips... Now I know that I must make simple triggers, each trigger with 1 function only... furthermore, if I want to check which order the AI gives, just use Floating Text action which shows the unit's current order using the event - Unit is issued order (no target).. since they'll only use razes and requiem of souls... thanks anyway folks
