Why is my unit using 2 abilities at the same time?

[Scippi]

Everytime it casts an ability called Snipe another ability based off Thunder Bolt will also be casted, i have also tried basing the other spell off a different ability but i'm still getting the same result. help?

 

[MortAr]

Thats because both spells use the same order ID.

 

[skamigo]

what spell did you base snipe off?

 

[Scippi]

MortAr: What's an order ID? xD
Skamigo: It's also based off thunder bolt, but i've already tried a different base ability for the other spell

When you copy/pasted the spell, you needed to copy a different one to the spell the hero is already using, even another copy/pasted one.

order ID is under text near tooltips in the object editor. when you order a unit to use an ability via trigger editor, that field value will decide what order id string to use.

have you tried basing it off of another spell? firebolt perhaps?

 

[Spyda Man]

simply said, if you made one custom spell off stormbolt and you copy that spell and create a new one, both of these spells are under the same "spell ID" which is storm bolt, regardless of what different effects,damage,stun etc you do, both spells will be "casted" at the same time.

The only solution to this is to only make a spell with a different ID, as with what the others have said "firebolt" or maybe "hurl boulder" for that matter.

Worst come to worst you can use channel and alter the skills via triggering

They both use the same order ID

 

[Fanny.Shaver]

It's not really about order id, it also might be because they are both based on the same spell. For instance, if you have two spells based on Storm Bolt, it is likely they both will be casted if only one is selected, and sometimes might even end up with critical error.

ive tried using 3 spells based of stampede on 1 hero, essentially it didnt crash, but it would cast them in order of the button placement it seems.

for example

stampede 1
x=0
y=2

stampede 2
x=1
y=2

stampede 3
x=2
y=2

the above is referring to button placement, and it seems that they go according to the skill setup as well, depending on how you arrange them in the hero skills section.

ive yet to encounter any crash in the game on this issue yet, but heck.

You have to base the spells of different spells with different order strings.

I advise channel as that allows you to change the order string (most seem to let you buut infact do not).

Well if you guys read the original post, I said that i've already tried it with a different base spell, but it's working now anyway basing it off firebolt thank you all
