Random dizziness (long)

01-10-2004, 01:37 PM

I'm working on an area of effect spell (Confusion) which will cause a random amount of dizziness on units in an area (MK's clap, but with a variable amount of slow). So far, I've only gotten partial luck with it.

My trigger looks like it should work properly - add a 1 radius aura ability to effected unit(s) to indicate that it is slowed, and then manually Set Movement Speed of unit by a random percentage - after a delay, remove the ability aura and reset movement speed. My problem? It only seems to add the ability to units randomly... for some ungodly reason, if I stomp my Confusion spell in a pack of 10 enemies, only 2 or 3 will be given the ability and slowed (there are other problems, but that is my biggest pain right now).

Here's the text I'm using in my trigger - a bit on the long side, but I couldn't think of any other way to do this :). Basically, the thunderclap fires and puts a buff on the target - that buff lasts 1 second less than my trigger, so that enemies who were Confused can run out of the radius of the triggering unit and not be perma-slowed. Hopefuly someone can help me out here - if any more clarity is needed, let me know! :)
