You need to set the unit...
If you dont set the unit, any "Triggering" unit will get the effect


Set FireUnit = Triggering unit

Special effect - Create a special effect ... FireUnit ...

and so on...

When you are done, do this:

Set FireUnit = No Unit
so it stays leakless

GUI also only allows 1 local to be declared, so that wont work

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/f279/multi-instancible-gui-spell-making-34393/ multiple locals seem fine in this...

 

[Coolty44]

Try removing all but one, it also says somewere in there that you cant use more then one.

EDIT: read the red print.

Warning The first suggestion for local variables is incorrect. While the use of multiple local variables is demonstrated, in fact only ONE local variable can be used in GUI. Until the tutorial is updated, please keep this in mind and either use only one local variable in GUI or consider using JASS for spells.

ok but my problem is that the special effects arent showing

 

[Coolty44]

oh, from my experience those don't work at all, you cant use them for anything very well, try changing it to something else and see if it works.

Why not make a unit-dummy as the special effect?

Make a locust unit supposedly called fire.

Set the model path to the fire model path, this should make the dummy look like a fire.

Create the dummy unit at the location of the tree.

Give the dummy unit an expiration timer, so when the timer runs out the dummy unit dies.

It won't hurt if you make an extra trigger that removes the dummy fire unit when it dies.

Cheers.
