Breathe of frost effect

For a trigger i have, I have it create the breath of frost effect (The big chunck of ice). but the problem is it doesnt go away. I even made a variable for it and then at the end of the trigger i have it removed/ destroyed, but it doesnt go away...

If you could show us the trigger in question we would have better chances at helping you.

There's the trigger, the if/then/else statement is the same for all 4 levels.

If my eyes arent betraying me. it seems as if you have these actions:

in the "Pick every unit in group". That could screw it up a bit. my suggestion is that you either use a Special Effect Array or locals. for you i would recommend the array even if the locals are way much better in this case.

You will have to use an temporary integer that raises with 1 every time (ie. set TempInt = TempInt + 1) aswell becouse of that you didnt use a loop.

You need to use local variables so you'll need JASS

Can't u create a unit with breath of frost model and the locust ability, then kill this last created unit?

no, stock, but you can crate units like that, add them to a unitgroup, then at the end kill all the units in the unit group.

and vex, stop recruiting JASS coders damn you! every 2nd post i see from u is saying "use JASS!"... its annoying :P

JASS is the way forward!!!!!111oneoneone!!11elleven...

yeah actually i thank vex for putting that up cause I looked at it and studied it and finished the tutorial... but i still have a question: how could i execute this trigger successfully by using local variables? much appreciated
