[Trigger] Spawning problems

[TwentyThree]

Hey, i need some help with a trigger... it does not work for some reason, even though i have gone over it over and over!
here is the part of the trigger giving me complete grief:

• Else - Actions
  • Unit - Remove (Target unit of ability being cast) from the game
  • Unit - Create 1 Fire for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s decay animation
  • Unit - Create 1 No other buildings being built for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of No other buildings being built <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

for more detail: this is the spawning part of a "Unit begins casting an ability on a specific unit" trigger
this is the part that spawns my unit, for some really annoying reason, it spawns the unit in a random area of the map. I tried fixing it with variables, but no go, its annoying, and i tried lots of different kinds of things that will allow me to keep the trigger as it is...
anyone know a fix for this?

Could you show the whole trigger so I/we can clarify the problem. Anyway your trigger leaks 2 damn locations, try cleaning them. If you can't find the leaks, here it is:

• Unit - Create 1 Fire for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees

and

• Unit - Create 1 No other buildings being built for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of No other buildings being built <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

Try cleaning the actions for leaks.

which unit causes a problem to spawn?

anyways if its the fire unit, you should rearrange the position of the two events (creating fire and removing unit) because when the unit is removed, then you cant get its location because its gone. so if you try to get a nonexistent location it could mess up and give you a random location.

• Else - Actions
  • Unit - Create 1 Fire for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Unit - Remove (Target unit of ability being cast) from the game
  • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s decay animation
  • Unit - Create 1 No other buildings being built for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of No other buildings being built <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

or you could make it to where it kills the unit instead of removing it, then it still has a location briefly.

• Else - Actions
  • Unit - Kill (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Unit - Create 1 Fire for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s decay animation
  • Unit - Create 1 No other buildings being built for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of No other buildings being built <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

maybe that will defeat the purpose of the Fire unit depending on what the unit is there for. I'm not sure as i cant see your map, but this is merely a suggestion. and if you need help to remove those leaks I'd be happy to show you how.
