[Trigger] Sunbeam

[ImBamboo]

Wanted to create an ability ability that works basically like shockwave, only it uses a unit with a -90 pitch angle for the animation. It works the first time, and then never works again. I was wondering if anyone knew why it stops working after running once.

• Sun Beam
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Sun Beam
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Player = (Owner of (Casting unit))
    • Set Temp_Point = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set Temp_Unit2 = (Casting unit)
    • Set Temp_Real = (Facing of Temp_Unit2)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Create 1 Sun Beam for Temp_Player at (Temp_Point offset by 50.00 towards Temp_Real degrees) facing Temp_Real degrees
        • Set Temp_Unit = (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to Temp_Unit
        • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit = null
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_Point = (Temp_Point offset by 150.00 towards Temp_Real degrees)
        • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 150.00 of Temp_Point matching (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of Temp_Player) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set Temp_Unit = (Picked unit)
            • Unit Group - Add Temp_Unit to Temp_Group
            • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit = null
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Temp_Unit = (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Cause Temp_Unit2 to damage Temp_Unit, dealing 700.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
        • Unit Group - Remove Temp_Unit from Temp_Group
        • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit = null
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
    • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Real = 0.00
    • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit2 = null
    • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Player = null

When you destroy a Unit Group variable (Temp_Group), you cannot add units to it unless you create a new group to put in that variable. Try adding this as the last action in your trigger:

• Custom script: set udg_Temp_Group = CreateGroup()

Thank you very much, it works perfectly now.
