It's a chain spell that SHOULD work, but doesn't. Why?

The spell varies depending on the ally's units, so it COULD've believed that I had an ally with me....
 
Try putting the second 'pick every unit in..'-loop outside the first one, as well as set the 'set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true' to the above line of your pick units in.. actions.
Also, remove the points via the customscript at the very end of the trigger (outside the loop as it COULD bug)

Does still not work though. However, I might've misunderstood your post ;)
 
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of Support_Point[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Support_Alone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) Equal to (==) True) and (((Matching unit) is a and do (Actions)
  • ...
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 700.00 of Support_Point[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Support_Alone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))])) Equal to (==) True) and (((Matching unit) is a and do (Actions)
Anyways, does the special effect even appear or is any damage dealt?
 
Well, in fact, i'm just dumb..
  • Set count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] = 0
means that
  • Conditions
    • count[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] Equal to (==) 1
will never happen.
Also, try changing the event to "starts the effect of an ability"
And third, put the
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Support_Point[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Support_Point2[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Support_Point3[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))])
at the very end of your trigger + remove the spaces ;)
Last, you can use (Triggering Unit) instead of the Support_Alone[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] as it's saved local and so can't be overwritten, etc..
