[Trigger] Return to Stockpile?

[Antimatter]

ABILITY: Expel
The sorceress will hurl a bolt of energy causing a twirling sparks cloak the target, making it fade, causing it to return to another dimension.
The target is then removed but its wood and gold cost is returned to the stockpile resource of the owner.
SOURCE ABILITY: Firebolt

Don't know how to fix this.

#1

With the wait, this trigger will not run as intended because the globals will be rewritten, and so will the target unit.

#2

In the TESH I see no such function that is GetUnitGoldCost() and I've never see the GUI have anything like that either. On a less important note you save the Gold value into BES_EXPGold[1] and then save right over it instantly with the lumber cost.

My question to you is, what type of WE are you using?

Also, there is likely a better way to do this, such as indexing each of your buildings and then retrieving the lumber/gold cost from a catalog.

Edit: Also, the ability does not have a target point of ability being cast, so you'll need to change it to the position of the unit or have it create it on the unit (probably want the former since the unit is going to be removed)

Are you using TESH's syntax check? I think it just checks the current trigger, ignoring everything else including globals. Just save instead. Lol, gui doesnt have syntax check.

Try disabling WEU, or any other custom functions. TriggerStrings and TriggerData were the files I think.

It's WEU, so how would I be able to create such spell?
Target point of ability being cast seem to confuse me, but it has target unit of ability being cast?

So we don't prefer using WEU anymore?

WEU has been bad / working inproperly for a very long time. JNGP is what most use now.

 

[Antimatter]

Sorry I made a mistake
I just saw it's JNGP, colored orange Icon of the program

any fixes for the skill ?

 

[Gismo359]

If youre using jngp then why is the regular syntax checker showing? You should disable it(when viewing the terrain Grimoire tab > Disable WE Syntax Checker) and enable jasshelper(the jasshelper tab > Enable Jasshelper).

Also, to disable WEU features, go to the UMSWE tab and UNCHECK 'Enable UMSWE' - you need to restart the editor for this.
