why my spell doesnt work

why this trigger doesnt work


Event:
unit - a unit starts effect of an ability

Conditions:
(Ability being cast) equal to -my spell-

Actions:
Unit - cause (triggering unit) to damage (target unit of ability being cast), dealing -dmg- damage of attack type chaos and damage type normal

Animation - change (Target unit ability being cast)`s vertex coloring to (-my things-) with -my thing- transparency

Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the -my thing- of (Target unit of ability being cast) using -choosed model-

Wait - 2 second

and etc same things

Post your whole code and use the trigger tags.

Example:

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
    • 0 Equal to 0
  • Actions
    • Do nothing

And after tell us what exactly doesn't work..
Is the damage applied?
Does the special effect show up or not?
and stuff

Rework your triggers, you first need this one:

• Events Unit begins casting an ability
• Conditions Ability being cast equal *your_ability*
• Actions
  • Set variable *caster* = casting unit
  • Set variable *victim* = target unit of ability being cast

• Events Unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions Ability being cast equal *your_ability*
• Actions
  • Unit cause *caster* to damage *victim* dealing -dmg- damage of attack type chaos and damage type normal
  • Animation - change *victim*s vertex coloring to (-your things-) with (-your things-) transparency
  • Special effect - Create an special effect attached to -your thing- of *victim* using -chosen model
  • Wait 2 seconds
  • and etc the same thing

Also you should check your triggers for memory leaks.

okay my problem is this:
i have used special effect and dmg trigger and its works just one time trigger is like "special effect dmg and change color to being cast unit" then wait 2 second and its do it again but it doesnt work "special effect and dmg" comes just only one time


(-special question-)
how i can "show" the trigger like kingz ?

 

[Kingz]

Copy your trigger as an text and post it here, replace spell names an variables if you think it is needed.
To show your posts like trigger simply click the trigger icon just right from bold,italic and all that font customizing buttons.

(-fixed-)
looks better now ?

whats wrong is in this spell

 

[Kingz]

You have 5 memory leaks in your trigger you should fix that.

 

[AKI_SER]

you should store the (Target Unit of ability being cast) into a variable like this :

• Actions
  • Set UnitX = (Target Unit of ability being cast)

at the beginning of you Actions ,and instead of using (Target Unit of ability being cast) always as the target of your functions use UnitX or whatever...this should fix your problem because when you use the wait function the (Target Unit of ability being cast) is set to null I think or something like that,just try this and tell me what happens ^^
