[Trigger] some complex damage detection

[GoGoTauren]

Heyo. Firstly, heres the trigger im working with

• DD crit gore pillage and sappers
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
• [Important part]
  • Set Temppoint[0] = (Position of (Damage source))
  • Set Temppoint[1] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Damage taken) Not equal to 0.00
    • Then - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions

        • Else - Actions
          • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (String((Integer((Damage taken))))) at Temppoint[1] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 7.50, color (80.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%), and 25.00% transparency
          • Floating Text - Set the velocity of (Last created floating text) to 64.00 towards (Angle from Temppoint[0] to Temppoint[1]) degrees

            • If - Conditions
              • (Random integer number between 1 and 5) Equal to 1
            • Then - Actions

            • Else - Actions
    • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temppoint[0])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temppoint[1])
• [/Important part]
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • ((Triggering unit) has buff Attacked ) Equal to True
      • ((Damage source) has buff Pillage ) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
      • Player - Add (Level of Pillage for (Damage source)) to (Owner of (Damage source)) Current gold
      • Set Temppoint[0] = (Position of (Damage source))
      • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads (+ + (String((Level of Pillage for (Damage source))))) at Temppoint[0] with Z offset 0.00, using font size 9.00, color (80.00%, 80.00%, 0.00%), and 25.00% transparency

    • Else - Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Kobold Sapper
    • Then - Actions
      • Wait 0.01 seconds
      • Set Temppoint[0] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Temppoint[0] using war3mapImported\ExplosionBIG.mdx
      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Unit - Cause (Damage source) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 300.00 at Temppoint[0], dealing 200.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Temppoint[0])
      • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Else - Actions

The problem is when something/someone uses a critical, bash or the integrated crit up there is the game recording multiple damage instances at the exact same time, and the floating text characters end up looking like they came from the matrix >_>

Im wondering if there are any non-wait functions that can be used to delay the order of operation, and let me save all of the instances of damage from a specific time and a specific unit, so that I can present them properly.

Wondering, (Please dont rant about waits) would a 0 second wait actually wait 0 seconds or would it go to the .20 second minimum? Because im thinking that could be perfect..
EDIT: 0 second wait doesn't work ><

Ah the easiest way was using custom values and ITE's. Itsa working alright now, but if anyone prepred a lengthy response i still wouldnt mind hearing it for future reference.

I just read commented below one of your comments and it seems you got the same problem I mentioned there

remove the buff with trigger as soon as the unit takes damage the first time
I doubt that the bash damage will give a buff as well so it should be fine
