Code:
Not Working Trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Casting unit) Equal to Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen>
(Ability being cast) Equal to DummySpell
dummylvlvariable Equal to 1.00
Actions
Unit - Pause dummyspelltarget
For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 dummyunits[(Integer A)] for (Owner of Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen>) at (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of dummyspelltarget) with size (300.00, 300.00))) facing (Position of dummyspelltarget)
Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to soontobedeaddummies
Wait 1.00 seconds
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(soontobedeaddummies is empty) Equal to False
Then - Actions
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from soontobedeaddummies) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Attack dummyspelltarget
Unit - Add a 0.05 second Generic expiration timer to (Picked unit)
Unit Group - Remove (Picked created unit) from soontobedeaddummies
Wait 0.01 seconds
Else - Actions
Do nothing
Unit - Unpause dummyspelltargetBasically.. This is supposed to pick the first 4 units in the integer array variable (dummyunits) and then make them each attack one by one and poof. The way it is now, they are summoned, then they attack, and they won't poof. They are Workers so I know they aren't just autoaquiring the nearest target, the attack part works but the expiration timer doesn't. I figure there's at least a couple things wrong throughout the entire trigger but I am clueless atm to what they are :( |

I couldn't reproduce your code... There was an "Else" but not an "If / Then" so this is how I wrote it: Code:
Not Working Trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Casting unit) Equal to Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen>
(Ability being cast) Equal to Dummyspell
dummylvlvariable Equal to 1.00
Actions
Wait 1.00 seconds <- I based spell on FrostNova so I need to put this Wait here or the unit will have "Slowed" buff tip in portrait window while paused
Unit - Pause dummyspelltarget
For each (Integer A) from 0 to 3, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 dummyunits[(Integer A)] for (Owner of Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen>) at (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of dummyspelltarget) with size (300.00, 300.00))) facing (Position of dummyspelltarget)
Set Dummyunit[(Integer A)] = (Last created unit)
Unit - Order Dummyunit[(Integer A)] to Attack dummyspelltarget
Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Wait 1.00 seconds
Unit - Unpause dummyspelltargetSo, with it that way - unit is paused and one by one dummyunits appear, attack, and poof. It's good that they poof but, I need them to be Created simultaneously. Sorry if I was unclear about that in my first post ;) Created simultanteously, but attack / poof in random sequence one by one. |

sorry I accidently left the else do nothing action. I quoted from your post after all. 1 error I noticed in your trigger Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit) It should be Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Dummyunit[(integer A)] If you still dont like that then I guess you have to do the long way A- Unit - Create 1 dummyunits[(Integer A)] for (Owner of Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen> ) at (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of dummyspelltarget blah blah A- set Dummyunit[0] = last created unit Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Dummyunit[0] Unit - Create 1 dummyunits[(Integer A)] for (Owner of Dummyspellcaster 0000 <gen> ) at (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of dummyspelltarget blah blah A- set Dummunit[1] = last created unit Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to Dummyunit[1] ---repeat create dummunit [2][3], setting variable dummunits[2][3], and adding expieation timer[2][3]--- Unit - Order Dummyunit[0] to Attack dummyspelltarget wait xxx gametime secs Unit - Order Dummyunit[1] to Attack dummyspelltarget wait xxx gametime secs ---etc....--- |

Hm, I was worried about that. I've found there is usually a way to do those kind of things in a loop action, which I figured I could use for this also. Like I tried to do - place 4 units form the array and add each to a new variable, then do a loop action for them in the new variable. I don't understand why that doesn't work? |

Can I offer a simple solution? If the dummy units aren't used for anything else, give them 2 hit points, and set their life regeneration to -1. They'll drop dead in 1 second. As for ordering the units, you already have a region centered around the caster. Just do Unit Group - Order units in region matching (unit type = dummyunit) to attack target. |

I suppose that would work, I was just looking for a way to clean up my triggers. They get pretty nasty when I have to use a specific chain of actions for each unit-type (there is a total of 12 different units being created, not just 12 different versions of the same unit). |
