It is the same trigger.
In how far you recognize the first works different than the second?

Move the line, in which you destroy the unit group outside the "Pick every Unit" statement.

 

[kruzerg]

what do you mean same?
trigger 1 slow unit every 7 seconds in sand area
trigger 2 slow entered unit to sand area
right?

 

[IcemanBo]

It was the 2x the same trigger before.

Print the UnitName when a unit enters the region to know if it fires at least.
What does exactly not work?

- You don't need the "And - All Conditions Block".

 

[kruzerg]

every 7 seconds target slow unit in region is work
but i also want when my unit entered that region instantly target slow to them but its not work
any clue?

 

[IcemanBo]

I don't know what you mean.
Print a message to know if a unit enters - "Game - Display message ... "

 

[kruzerg]

print message for?

 

[IcemanBo]

To find out if your trigger fires, or not. If it doesn't fire, remove conditions, and try again.

 

[kruzerg]

this is really weird
in my trigger enter sand area
if i add condition: entered unit equal hero is true
then the trigger slow wont work again
im become more confused of this

is the WE is bugged or what? since i think my trigger logic is right and simple

 

[IcemanBo]

You don't have any condition like this now. So it works actually now? :O
Maybe the entering unit is no hero?

 

[kruzerg]

the entered unit is paladin, its obviously a hero
umm i have 4 trigger of this sand region i will post to you

if i add condition entered unit equal to hero to region sand trigger, the rest of trigger wont worked, why?

You meant a completly other trigger when you said it won't work when you add the hero condition? :S - How should anyone know this?

And to the first trigger, I just can repeat. Read my other post.

Does caster dummy have slow? Because you don't add slow to the dummy beforehand.

Does slow "Targets Allowed" specify it can be cast on entering unit?

Maybe slow's cast range is low and entering unit escapes from range.

Try with another spell like Cripple and same trigger.

Alternative, you can make an invisible dummy for Player 12 (Brown) with modified Slow Aura or Endurance / Unholy Aura to reduce speed, and play with the area range to match your region. This way it will work without triggers

 

[kruzerg]

slow cast range = 99999
dummy have slow ability
the prove, the 2nd trigger is worked (means slow is worked)

 

[sentrywiz]

slow cast range = 99999
dummy have slow ability
the prove, the 2nd trigger is worked (means slow is worked)

Does dummy caster have mana? Does slow cost mana? Maybe dummy caster's mana is low and it cannot cast slow.

If its not the above, i will make a test map and recreate what you did, see if it works for me.

EDIT:

Here, it works for me here. i didn't do anything special, just two triggers like in your map. This proves it must be something else interfering with these triggers, unless its something written above.

 

[kruzerg]

i think every x seconds and unit entered region
cant be united each other?
i mean if i already add trigger every x seconds in region A
then i cant add trigger unit entered to region A again? (same region with 2 trigger)

edit:
i tired of this
i decided change time per second into: every 0.5 second cast slow
so its doesnt matter of entered units anymore since 0.5 second is too short time

and my trigger didnt leak right?

Both triggers shouldn't collide one with another, but the effect will. Casting slow on a slowed target will only increase the duration.

Not from i saw, no your trigger didn't leak.

You can also make it with invisible unit + negative endurance/unholy aura OR tornado slow aura. You can place it where you want it and increase/decrease its area of effect to your desire effect. that way you don't need triggers

 

[kruzerg]

yeah u right
