Where's your de-index?
Every value in the index must be reshuffled back into the index.
Let me shamble together something here real quick...
oh and something I noticed:
K here's my take on it:
(Should be MUI, anyone is free to twist my arm around to tell me if I made a boo boo~)

& the Triggers:
Oh, and if the "Math - Modulo" bit is too difficult just add another variable and subtract from it much like T_Duration, and then reset it back to the Config Tick once you deal the area damage.
