This one doesn't have problems, it works fine.

My problem is, after everything is done, when the unit walks where it had stopped before, it will trigger the effect.

I tried all I could thing of, moving a real region, and all it does is nothing, the unit never "enters" it even though I checked where the region is on every state.

I need to make it so when the unit enters the region, it does the effect and it removes it from the map. But the custom script doesn't do it or it's not working properly.

Thanks for any help, I'll reward with rep. I'm really bugged on this one.

The region enter event uses the region at map initialization, it doesn't update the event when you move the region.

I don't recommend using a region. Use a real instead, distance.

You shouldn't create an item every 0.01 seconds. Create one at map initialization. Move it, do the check and hide it.

I fixed the item thingy

now I changed the trigger to show what other way I thought of it, and what I saw on the hive as an alternative. It works, the skill works as intended except everytime I go back on exact spot of the variable region, it still pops the effect

even though I really made sure to call RemoveRect(udg_TotemChargeRegion)

 

[Maker]

The point is not to use regions for the spell.

 

[Druu]

could you elaborate on distance, cuz I don't understand it. I never used it.

 

[Maker]

In the loop check the dist between caster and target point.

Thanks, I learned something today and Maker, you're the man! <3
