Very Difficult Question- fixing a serious unexplainable bug

[Impac7]

i have ability Nuclear. I use the well known missile launch and in the impact - the big exlosion occurs, i use 'cause casting unit to damage ...in circular area.... 'action and
'Picky every unit wuthin units in target point of ability being cast:
loop: If ((((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and (((Picked unit) is Mechanical) Equal to False)) then do (Unit - Add ..... to (Picked unit)) else do (Do nothing)
'
It works, HOWEVER

If any unit casts its own ability while Nuclear ability is taking place,(the hero abilities having nothing to do with the nuclear ability and nothing to do with order unit to cast) the damage and the added ability(then do add ... to picked unit) do not occur. And that is if a unit uses any ability before the explosion and the damage take place.

I tried to silence all but same thing, even if i add the silence to a created dummy and order to cast it, it is still before the damage and after the spell thus, damage doesnt occur again since an abilit has been used before.

What you might help me with is:
How to make a silence for example is done seconds BEFORE the nuclear abilit starts. How to make it recognize that if im going to start this ability to do silence before it starts.

i dont know why the damage doesnt occur, but ive an easier way to damage units. instead of picking units and all that stuff, just create a dummy with a warstmop based ability (for the owner of the casting unit) and order it to cast the spell (0 stun duration)

 

[HipHopMan]

well I dunno but u can try this:
Instead of pick unit :? ... u can use warstomp, like Ramza said , and u cant make a trigger before an ability starts, u can do it while the casting unit is loading the skill.Anyways, why u want to silence them? units cant stun the nuclear hero and well :roll: . I need u to tell me what unit cast what ability, and if the unit cast it in the AOE of the nuclear stuff
Thx

 

[Impac7]

I might try it but i have another idea too. I will make the whole trigger to be run after 1st casting silence to all or i will simply rework the 1st part of the nuclear triggers. Thx anyway.

 

[Asgard_Ragna]

Do it like that BUT dont use Stun duration = Null! Use 0.01 or smth cause other wise it will stun permanent.

 

[Ramza]

i think that only was with infernal landing and bash. dont know fro sure though. else just use thunderclap

 

[Lugia]

You can try to use
Unit Group - Pick Every unit in (Area) Matching (condition)
Because I always use this trigger and no problem was occur...

 

[Impac7]

No, actually it's stupid to disable abilities or silence them, not to say to stun units. What if a unit can avoid the nuclear with its ability? The disabling of abilities is totally unrealistic. Therefore, i must make the explosion animation, the damage and the ability added (radiaiton)to occur even if a unit casts an ability before the nuclear damage takes place. I dont get it why they dont occur, in what way can any ability cause these triggers not to work.

Maybe i can give you the whole triggers and if you tell me what causes any other ability cast during the process to disable some of the actions ... ur rly good.

Ok, now i even gave you triggers with which the nuclear will much more realistic than those nuclears uploaded in the 'Spells'. NOTICE: ALL you see as triggers WORKS unless another unit or the same casting unit starts another ability before the damage takes place:------> then you see only an Environment ripple not even on the target point of ability being cast, somehwere away, no 'explosion', no damage , no radiation added, no special effect to buildings, THEN The rest Trigs WORK with the destructibles are killed.

Loooks like noone can fix it thats why i mass pm for further help

well I dunno but u can try this:
Instead of pick unit :? ... u can use warstomp, like Ramza said , and u cant make a trigger before an ability starts, u can do it while the casting unit is loading the skill.Anyways, why u want to silence them? units cant stun the nuclear hero and well :roll: . I need u to tell me what unit cast what ability, and if the unit cast it in the AOE of the nuclear stuff
Thx

not true, unit begins casting triggers BEFORE the unit actually casts the ability

 

[Impac7]

Ok ignore all previous replies of me and see the one above you. There i say that stunning and silence - no thx. Because the ability is supposed to work with its triggers even if someone casts smth else during that process. Thats why the problem is in the upper reply of mine.
