Proper Use of Lightning

[best_player_88]

Ok so the quesion is like this:
I want to use the object lightning_effect[10] in UGI just like life drain;
But, as I tried to use it suddenly the game crushed teling there was an error, probably error caused by Leak.

How to properly use the Lightning_Effects without causing errors?

Thanks and sorry if I miss the spelling of some words.

In order to use and create lightning effect you need 2 points.

• Actions
  • Set - Point[1] = Position of (triggering unit)
  • Set - Point[2] =Target point of (ability being cast)
  • Lightning - Create lightning effect at (Point[1]) target (Point[2])
  • Set - Lightning_variable = (Last created lightning effect)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[1])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[2])

Hand written sry.You will need to use something like this.If you want your skill to be MUI is a hole different story.

and then

• Actions
  • Set - P1 = Position of (triggering unit)
  • Set - P2 =Target point of (ability being cast)
  • Lightning - Create lightning effect at (Point[1]) target (Point[2])
  • Set - Lightning_variable = (Last created lightning effect)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[1])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[2])
  • Commant: --- This is now trigger 2 ----
  • Lightning - Move lightning_variable to (Point[1]) target (Point[2])
• Lightning - remove lightning_variable

The above cause game crush

Interesting. Why does it crush when you use that?

The second trigger doesn't set two new Point[1] and Point[2], but I think when they are 'null', these points will be known as 'Center of Playable Map Area'.
If your second trigger had set these point but it still crush, I think the error comes from your war3 data (maybe missing lightning type data(s))

Very weird. But its amazing that you say that if no Point was found the default point will be center of playable map area -> without leaving LEAK behind 0_0 are you sure about it? and the second thing is that I tried on Warcraft 3 of my friend 1 year ago using the same methode and it crushed, it must be something I'm doing wrong, also I forgot to mantion , The lightning effect was not removed when I ordered it to, instead, it randomly stayed and randomly removed, and after a few times caused the crush, what is the proper way to remove lightning effect[] ?

Maybe moving the lightning cause it to crash.

Could u please show me how you create a lightning effect that moves and then removed -> that not cause game crush?

I think something else is wrong. Not the lightning.
