Need Help With A Trigger

Hey everyone, Im having TONS of trouble with a trigger. Ive been workin on it for the past 3 hours.

Im trying to make a trigger that when cast on a unit, the unit casted on will leave a footprint behind every .5 seconds. It was going well for a while, but I want multiple units to be able to have the effect on them at once.

I did it fine, but ALL of the effects ended at once, each unit was in an array, and the only variables that are reused are the ones for loops. So i decided to make the loops use an array. Instead of having "For each integer A from 1 to 20, I tried making my own variable C as an integer array. I made it so that each time the trigger ran, the integer in the array being used changed, For example, the first time the loop uses "For each integer C[0] from 1 to 20," and next time it would add one making "For each integer C[1] from 1 to 20," but now the trigger wont even start!! WHY!?

I have a comment appear when the trigger starts, and the comment wont appear now, please help. Also, if you know an easier way to do this, please tell me, Ill post a screenshot of my trigger.

How the hell do u post a Screenshot of a trigger!?

the actual trigger would be a nice addition to this thread. To get a screen, try...erm... Print Screen SysRq (a key) and then paste it into Paint, then save the picture as a jpeg(or gif or whatever). Then just load up the picture as an attachment.


And are you sure the trigger wont start? try using game-display text message as a sort of debugger to your problem.



I need the actual trigger to be more helpful.
