Hello.
I downloaded Ice Shard by SSDBZ.
Ice Shard - The Hive Workshop - A Warcraft III Modding Site
I imported it to my map and it works fine theres just only 1 problem.
It damages a unit only once, means if I use it on unit the units get 100 dmg for example the next time I use it on the same unit it does 0 damage.

I don't know whats the problem, please help.
I'm sure its something in the trigger, I tried to change abilities in F6 didn't help.

Why are you destroying the temp group repeatedly? You don't have to destroy and recreate the same group or location in a single trigger. You just do that at the end of a trigger.

  • Set TempUnitGroup = (Units within 300.00 of LocPoint3 matching ((((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is An Ancient) Equal to False)))
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempUnitGroup and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
  • Unit - Remove classification of An Ancient from (Picked unit)
Look at that. There's probably your problem. You're forming a group of units that... aren't Ancients. So how can you remove the Ancient classification from an unit that isn't an Ancient?
