The real problem for me... (don't know what to call it)

[ZiGOR]

Hi, gentlemen.
Well, in my map:
Red is allied with Blue, Teal, Purple, Orange and Yellow.
Green is allied with Pink, Gray, light blue, dark green, brown.

and I have some towers that when killed are replaced with another random tower from the list.
The problem is that towers can be of 3 colors: Red, if the killing unit belongs to an ally of Player Red, Green, if the killing unit belongs to an ally of Player Green and Neutral Hostile in all other cases.

SOme heroes use dummy-based skills, for example there can be a sumoned unit. But for some reason SOMETIMES when this summoned unit kills a tower, the next tower is created for Neutral Hostile, bot for Player Red for example. Sometimes it works properly, but sometimes not.

I've made a tracing, displaying the player number of killing unit to see what's going on, and I found out that sometimes it says the number of owner of killing unit and sometimes it writes 1 (which is, for some reason, not even considered Player Red, though it should as Player Red is #1, Blue is #2 etc.)

I'm giving you some triggers to show how it works:

Hope that you can give me a hint about that

i dont see anywhere the new unit will be neutral hostile. is there any other triggers that could be interfering?

 

[pick-a-chew]

If the killing unit ceases to exist (e.g. your summon shoots an attack, expires, and then lands the killing blow) then the killing unit will be no-unit (which as you can imagine belongs to no player). Check that your killing unit is still in the game when the trigger fires.

 

[Dr Super Good]

There is also no killing unit if a unit is killed by losing all its current life. For example as the result of too many maximum life upgrades or if a trigger is used to set the units current life too low. A common cause of this is improperly written trigger enhanced abilities which reduce unit current life rather than dealing damage from a unit.

no, there is no other triggers there

If the killing unit ceases to exist (e.g. your summon shoots an attack, expires, and then lands the killing blow) then the killing unit will be no-unit (which as you can imagine belongs to no player). Check that your killing unit is still in the game when the trigger fires.

I have already found it out. When I test my map, there is no bugs, but when other people do it, I can witness that stuff... It seems like it happens spontaneously...

Yet it was the same theory of disappearing dummy that was making my mood Found the problem, but in the other spell))))
