what happens is that too many heroes are hidden sometimes. the caster should be able to hide only 1 hero since ability is removed from him. the ability is based on storm bolt. anyway how to remake trigger to make it working propley? caster should hide 1 unit and no more.

This trigger is not MUI. After the "Wait 0.10 seconds" at the start, sometimes all your variables will be wrong because they are global and anything that happened during those 0.10 may have modified them. This is the reason why sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

You will have to either :
- Remove this wait if it's possible
- use "local globals". This way your variables will survive to the Wait. More informations about this trick here.

In you keep the wait, the following variables have to be local in your example:
- Event - casting unit
- Event - ability being cast

So for example you need to create 2 global variables:
- name: Caster, type: unit
- name: Spell, type: abilityid
(example of name, choose what fits you)

At the beginning of your trigger, add 4 lines as below, at the end at one line:
  • custom script: local unit udg_Caster
  • custom script: local abilityid udg_Spell
  • set variableSet Caster = (Casting unit)
  • set variableSet Spell = (Ability being cast)
  • ...
  • <all you code here, use Caster & Spell instead of Casting Unit & Ability being cast of course>
  • ...
  • custom script: set udg_Caster = null // This line is just to avoid memory leak.
