[Trigger] Problem with a spell-trigger, never executes

[xXMephistoXx]

Here's a trigger I'm making for a spell called Spider Sense (on request):

• SpiderSenseGUI
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Spider Sense
  • Actions
    • Set SECaster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set SECasterLoc = (Position of SECaster)
    • Set SECasterOwner = (Owner of SECaster)
    • Set SEEnemyPlayers = (All enemies of SECasterOwner)
    • Player Group - Pick every player in SEEnemyPlayers and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to SEGroupEnemies
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units owned by (Picked player) matching (((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to SEGroupHeroes
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in SEGroupEnemies and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Grant shared vision of (Picked unit) to SECasterOwner
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in SEGroupHeroes and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for SECasterOwner at SECasterLoc facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add Spider Sense (Dummy Ability) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Slow (Picked unit)
    • Wait 8.00 seconds
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in SEGroupEnemies and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Deny shared vision of (Picked unit) to SECasterOwner
    • Unit Group - Remove all units from SEGroupEnemies
    • Unit Group - Remove all units from SEGroupHeroes
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_SECasterLoc)

And here's the variables:

Variable Name	Variable Type	Initial Value
SECaster	Unit	- None -
SECasterLoc	Point	- None -
SECasterOwner	Player	- None -
SEEnemyPlayers	Player Group	Empty Player Group (Default)
SEGroupEnemies	Unit Group	Empty Unit Group (Default)
SEGroupHeroes	Unit Group	Empty Unit Group (Default)

I don't see why this shouldn't work :S Something to do with unit-groups within player-groups, maybe?

I don't know if this might be the problem, but try this:

• Set SECaster = (Casting unit)

If this was the problem, there was no casting unit, so there was no player who owns the casting unit, so there were no enemies and the whole trigger just didn't work.

Nope, that's not the problem... Triggering unit includes Casting unit.

Hmm, What part of it isn't executing? Is the vision working properly? because it may be just a problem with your dummy ability?

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Nope, nothing executes, that's the problem :S It doesn't do anything at all. The spell is working, it displays the effects and it's the correct spell.

 

[Maximilianx]

Hmm what spell is it based off of?
Maybe attach the map so we can look at it?

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Yeah, sure Edited the first post so that the map is included (Just ignore the other spell, there (Part of the request))
It's based of Thunder Clap.

 

[ap0calypse]

Nope, that's not the problem... Triggering unit includes Casting unit.

I already thought so...

Maybe you can add some game-commands to see what exactly is wrong?
(like a text-message which shows the name of the owner of the casting unit, the names of the enemy players, ...), then check what isn't correct

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Sure, but I don't think that's the problem :S

 

[Maximilianx]

Strange.. Maybe it has something to do with (All enemies of SECasterOwner) I've never used this and i'm not sure if it'd be buggy or what..

Byyy the way for future reference, for your spider sense spell, you could just set the targets field to None, that way you don't have to make a custom buff

Sorry I can't really figure out what's wrong here..

 

[xXMephistoXx]

Damn, I figured it out. You have to set a player in the "Player Properties", it's not enought just to create units of that player. He has to be set. So this is solved.
Thanks for all help and feedback, +rep
