[Trigger] Problem with casting spell multiple time and with slowing units

[MatiS]

Hi
I've made simple, theoretically spammable CC ability for my hero, but I have two. or even three, problems with it. When I cast spell multiple times in short time, sometimes nothing happens, and sometimes effect stays there forever. Also, after casting spell more than 4/5 times, it stops slowing units. Second thing is that after I added custom script which destroys group, the group is destroyed permanently and spell is broken forever. Also, when I set unit's movement speed to 0 X default movement speed, unit is slowed, but can move.

I would be grateful for help :-D.

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in WebGroup[WebLoop] and do (Actions)

Where is your Web group? You don't create a group anywhere.

1. In the trigger "WebCast", you missed setting up the variable "WebCounter". The first time it works because its default value is 0, but after that, since you don't set it to 0 from the cast trigger or reset it when deindexing, it will always increase.

2. Instead of destroying the group right from the beginning, just empty it. Destroy it when deindexing. Oh, and when adding units to it you could use:

• Set Your_Group_Variable = (Units in (Region) matching (Condition))

Thanks, it worked :-D.

This removes units from group that is created later. First time loop runs there is no group, so this line doesn't do anything.

There is still one issue - when ability has level 3, it should immobilise affected units, but they're only slowed. I don't understand why, 'cause I set it's moving speed to 0.

In the World Editor click "Advanced" and then "Gameplay Constants...", find the field "Movement - Unit Speed - Minimum", (Default value should be 150) if you set it to 0 your spell should work fine.

It works! Thank you a lot, I can finally finish this hero :-D.
