[Solved] Trigger does not start

[Padman]

I've been working on a spell, which creates an orb which travels forward and pulls enemies into it, but I met a strange bug, as when the unit casts the spell, then the trigger doesn't start. The dummy spell (called Gravity ORB) is based on shockwave (without animation or damage), the unit has only this spell (and invulnerability). First I tried making the spell be based on Channel, but that did not work, so I changed it to shockwave.

The knockback spell appearing here is not yet done, but the dummy ability is ready for it.

Does anyone have an idea what causes this problem and how could I solve it? And of course if someone sees a leak or a bug in the triggering then tell me that too.

Shockwave is buggy; return to Channel.

• GO_index[0] Equal to 1

should be equal to 0.

 

[Padman]

^Fixed.

I remade it to be Channel based, but it still doesn't work, even the debug message doesn't show up at the casting of the spell.

 

[Pharaoh_]

Did you change the (Ability being cast) Equal to Newability? Send me the map.

 

[Padman]

Here is the map.

 

[Maker]

Don't set the initial sizes of arrays to 8192. It will bug, arrays can't be that big. Leave the initial size to 1.

Thanks, now the trigger starts, and everything works except the special effect. As the problem is solved this thread can be closed.
