Hi.

I need you to help me find out why a custom script in my spell is constantly crashing WE whenever I try to fix it.

Here is the trigger. The conflictive custom script is surrounded with XXXXXXXXXXX.
Note: I'm still a bit noob with custom scripts and spell-making, so please don't kill me if you see some incoherent or incorrect things. XD

              • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from Lightning_Vortex_Casters
Well, I need to change that custom script with this one:

  • Custom script: call MoveLightningEx(udg_TempLight, true, GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()), GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()), 100, GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()) + udg_LV_L * Cos((180 + udg_TempReal_02) * bj_DEGTORAD), GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()) + udg_LV_L * Sin((180 + udg_TempReal_02) * bj_DEGTORAD), udg_TempReal)
But whenever I make this change, WE crashes.
:goblin_wtf:

Someone knows what could be the reason? I don't even know if this trigger works in-game, because I can't finish it without crashing WE.
If you nedd to see the main trigger where the spell starts, or the setup trigger where the used variables are defined, just ask for it, I'll post it.

Had problems with long custom scripts as well.. Try saving some stuff in variables to shorten the code. I experienced that too long custom scripts crash WE..

Edit:

Looking at the code that should be replaced, and the code that should replace it: It is abit longer, which might thus be the problem..

It crashes WE, not the game. Thus it cannot be because of moving a non-existent lightning, because WE doesnt care whether it exists or not, only when playing the game this matters..
