Trigger question

[KeK.]

Here is my trigger. What I'm unsure of is what will happen if this trigger fires multiple times back to back. For example, Hero 1 triggers this and then 0.5 seconds later Hero 2 triggers it. The first run of the trigger, the timer is started expiring in two seconds to destroy the special effect. Will the second run of the trigger restart the timer before it is able to finish, causing a leak?

    • Time - CompulsionTimer[0] expires
  • Conditions

Yes, the timer is restarted and the first created special effect is not destroyed. To solve this, you need to make your trigger MUI: MUI Triggers with Waits
The solution suggested in this tutorial is not good as stated at the top of the page, but it should give you an idea what MUI is.

I don't think this trigger is MUI so, if another hero activate the trigger in those 2 seconds the first special effect will probably become permanent. You can also put the "Destroy special effect" action right after you create it without using waits or timers. If you do that, the special effect will appear until the end of its animation and then it will be deleted.
