[Trigger] Triggering Problem

[Wizardum]

I've got a problem while doing the special effects for a spell.
The spell is a ultimate summon, but lacks of special effects, so I made some dummy units to increase the special effect's size. The problem is that I use point variables to remove leaks when I create the dummies, but the dummies actually don't get created if I change the variable to the point of the ability being cast. When I change the variable to the position of the casting unit, the trigger works, but what I want is the effects appear in the position where the creature will be summoned.

Check the trigger and try to find the error asap, it's very important!

[Squiggy]

• Set temppoint = (target point of ability being cast)

use this and replace all "target point of ability being cast" as those responses don't work after waits

 

[Wizardum]

I don't understand, can you explain? or give an example by doing what you've said in my trigger?

 

[Just_Spectating]

when you wait, the game loses the memory of the Target point of ability being cast, so it wont be a point any more.

 

[Squiggy]

And thus, replace ALL (target point of ability being cast) with the variable (it's a point variable) but set the temppoint only once (BEFORE the first 'wait') and destroy it at the very end of the trigger

 

[Just_Spectating]

actually that might only remove the last point leaving him leaks.

 

[Wizardum]

and I'd like to do not have leaks, unless there is another way to do this spell.

 

[Just_Spectating]

well im not sure of it, so try squiggy's method and check if ur fps goes down.

 

[Marcelo Hossomi]

Just do it: before the first wait (in fact, THE VERY FIRST ACTION), set the variable to the point.

As you will use the same point for every dummy, you don't need to remove and set it again and again. Remove the point only in the end of the trigger.

And, just to remember again, (Target point of ability being cast) will lose its valor after waits, as well as every Event response - etc except (Triggering Unit);

 

[Squiggy]

i thought that when the point is anywhen the same, you'd only have to remove the point once

 

[Razorbrain]

you do only need to remove it once since it uses the same Point every time
