Please help with custom spell

Not sure if this is the forum to ask, but here goes.

I downloaded a custom spell map from wc3files.com. It has a Shocking wave, dust storm, ground freeze, and some other spell. They all have triggers to run. I copied over the abilities, triggers, units (2 of them) that I could see, and typed in all the variables. The spells still don't work and in the trigger part for some reason. The triggers change icons also when I copy them over like something is missing. Any ideas?

You have 2 ways to copy those spell
1-Open this map and learn how to do it then do it ur self on your map and dont forget to give credit
2-Use WEU or WE to export all trigger/object editor data from the spell map to your map.

You mean wc3sear.ch and you mean the Random Spells by UV? http://www.wc3sear.ch/index.php?p=Spells&ID=795&sid=? Hmm... Do you have TFT? Since the icons shouldn't be a problem... Copy-paste the spells first but CORRECTLY. If you do it, then the icons should properly appear. Next copy Ice Blast and Lightning Ball units. And now, the problem is probably the RAW CODE of the dummy units.

Copy-paste the triggers and have a look at them. You will notice that the dummy units either don't appear or are actually other units. Rarely they are the same unit. So what do you do? You change them all.

Go to trigger Shocking Wave. Where you see the For (Integer A) from 1 to 5 loop go to the first action. Create 1 xxxxxx. Change the xxxxxx with Lightning Ball. Instead of xxxxxxx you should either have an unit or something coloured with red.

Go to trigger Freezing Ground. Where you see the first Create 1 xxxxx action go there and change the xxxxx with Ice Blast. Again, xxxxx can be anything else, including another unit or something with red.

I hope these are the problems you had and hopefully with some basic knowledge you can follow my instructions.

Well I found the problem. I guess you have to copy the triggers in a specific order, for example: Keep on rollin trigger has to be copied before Shocking wave. I think I understand now. Thanks for your help
