First, try using KALoop[4] in the Start trigger, otherwise it may interrupt,,

KALoop[4] ? its doesnt exist maybe u mean KAPoint[4] ?

edit : added xtra bug i found in main post

LexX · Sep 19, 2009

Well,for now I can only say that it happens because of variables,because when you use it once, variables are set for 1 use, but when you use it twice,then variables change at 2 time,and 1 use can use variables no more.
May be later I'll post how to fix that (I mean the code)
For now I can only say that using hashtables instead of variables could fix the problem.

It's not an MUI Glitch, mainly because this isn't MUI to start with...

I'd suggest learning how to use indexing and/or hashtables if you want to make spells like these MUI.

hell gate · Sep 19, 2009

send me the spell and i'll fix it (the bug is that you doesn't use and boolean if the index is active or not)

M_Vegeta · Sep 19, 2009

i wont use hashtable, some of these crash inside we or lag when its shouldnt >.> result i hate hashtable

the bug is probly made like hell gate said

@ hell Gate do you have msn ? ill send it to you, add some comment so i know whats was my error,
but if its 2 much i guess i can figure out how u did

becuz in the tutorial the name index are way 2 long

the trigger really confusing

edit : i read the tutorial again and i follow the way as it should but it mess up even worst -_-,
the spell cannot be cast another time, and the ball doesnt get destroy 2 and its still mess sigh... i updated the code in main post
