Seens to work, but it doesnt create all special effects at all, and the TP point is not reseted.

How could you use the integer AC_IT[1] in the loop after you have used it before as an MUI index change that variable with another one like (Index A) and make sure to change every variable inside the loop that uses AC_IT[1] variable.

 

[Storyyeller]

Index A is also a global, so it won't help MUI wise.

Not I don't mean Index A the is used by the loops I mean to create an index (integer variable) named A and it could be the index.

Your variable AC_IT[1] is now index

If you create a special effect and then immediately destroy it, then will the game still produce the special effect? I've been under the impression that it takes effect immediately, so I only destroy my special effects after some wait time.

No, special effects play first then destroyed after the animation has ended with one exception to FlameStrike SFX that needs a wait which will cause problems in MUI so most of the people avoid using it. This explanation was in the Thread Things That Leaks
