[Spell] triggered damage problem

[duthorian10]

DS

• Dragon Strike damage
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Dragon Strike
  • Actions
    • Unit - Cause Dragon_Strike_Caster to damage Dragon_Strike_Target, dealing (5.00 x (Real((Strength of Dragon_Strike_Caster (Include bonuses))))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal

I've set the variables in another trigger, the problem is that this trigger doesn't do any damage

Use Game - display text message to display the names of the units.

I don't understand how that will fix my trigger

You can see if the trigger runs and the variables are set corrctly.

• Dragon Strike effect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Dragon Strike
  • Actions
    • Set Dragon_Strike_Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Dragon_Strike_Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the weapon of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Weapons\PhoenixMissile\Phoenix_Missile.mdl
    • Set Dragon_Strike_Effect = (Last created special effect)
    • Wait 0.35 seconds
    • Special Effect - Destroy Dragon_Strike_Effect
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Attack-Move To (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of Dragon_Strike_Caster)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of Dragon_Strike_Target)

It showed me the names with this trigger, but the trigger in wich it deals 5x STR dmg still doesn't work, and it doesn't show the '"Game - Display..'' with the damage trigger.

You should triggered the finished casting time by spell duration, you used so many waits! Use your stored variable than trigger unit, use event- starts the effect of ability

The problem with that is that I can just press S (Stop) before the spell ends and it won't consume mana or the cooldown, but my trigger will still do the damage part. That means people can abuse that as a free damage spell

Use "A unit starts the effect of an ability" instead of "a unit begins casting the ability". The "unit starts the effect..." event fires after the mana has been spent already. That way, you don't have to even have the "finishes cast" part--you can just have it in one trigger.

Wait are totally innacurate so try to avoid them
