Ok I've made a new thread since the old one got all chopped up.
What I have here is My spell Im working on. It looks to work BUT, when a unit casts the spell while another units ship is moving UPward, it bugs out. Freezing the whole trigger.
So far I have narrowed it down to the Order Number (I believe). It has messages in there to see what part of the trigger is running. Can someone please figure out where this is breaking? I have been staring at it for a week now, changing stuff around but still gettting the same result.
Below is a copy of the map to test it urself.
