[Solved] Spell won't work

[nerdcafe]

I imported DG`s Fire Spellpack v1.1 but no matter what the big ass explosion (fire blast and shattered universe) wont happen. I've checked every single dummy, ability and buff many times. I even make sure the triggers look exactly the same. Any help? I got over a dozen custom spells in the same map btw.

 

[Veldris]

Did you check the ability being cast equal to it's original? ability

 

[nerdcafe]

Yeah. Checked everything several times.

 

[Veldris]

Yeah. Checked everything several times.

Then please post the both Triggers Fire spell Original Trigger and when you copied it into your map make Sure the Add unknown Variables Checked.

This is odd indeed don't know why it's not showing in the worldeditor or ingame might be old code?

 

[nerdcafe]

The fire orb is there but no explosion.

might be old code?

Not sure what you mean. It works in original map but not in my map.

Worldeditor keeps updating some features stays and some don't the spell you want was made in 2009 and last updated 2010

Unlikely...

I even make sure the triggers look exactly the same. Any help? I got over a dozen custom spells in the same map btw.

Could you post the map you imported it into for hands on comparison? If you can recreate the problem in a dummy map with just the imported spell it is fine. This is to rule out conflicts with other systems in the map.

 

[Dr Super Good]

The problem is the Channel based Pillar of Flame ability is corrupting the order type for impale and so preventing triggers from casting it. Both abilities that are not working use dummy abilities based on Impale which use the impale order string.

Removing the Pillar of Flame ability, changing its order string to be something else or setting it to the same target type as impale will fix the problem.

Channel should not be used to change the target type of an order string. If it does, it can break stuff in strange and hard to diagnose ways. This took me nearly 2 hours to track down...

 

[nerdcafe]

Thanks so much. It worked. I changed the base order id of pillar of flame and it works.
