Trigger Problem, Units Dying

08-31-2006, 01:19 AM

Hey guys, I just posted over at the war3download site my map. The problem with it is some spells that rely on summoned units via triggers are automatically killed. I have no idea why this is happening, and I would appreciate any help. My map is called Legacy Wars (the most recently posted one). I have disabled every other trigger in order to try and solve the problem, yet that doesnt work either. Please, if you have any advice please help me!

Im not sure if my problem is in just one trigger. For instance, if I disable one trigger that summons a portal and try another trigger, the other still has the same problem. Here is a link to my map. If you play the map and try out 'Cross Slash' from the Samurai in the middle one of the summoned illusions will always die while casting.

If anyone could test this out and find a solution I would give rep and much love! I am so confused =(

The)TideHunter(	#1 We need triggers, not a map. #2 Im not spending 5 minutes opening up the slowest site on earth to test a map. #3 More info is needed. Maybe you have a trigger thats something like: A unit is summoned, kill summoned unit? Or something along those lines.

QFT.

Back on topic : Check the summoning duration, then check if they aren't purged(or other things that do bonus damage to summons) by something, and if no, post the god damn triggers.

This is the trigger I put into the map, which will not work. Take into account that I disable every other trigger after the bug, so I dont think any others are affecting it. Im stumped, and I think the only way I can get help is if someone examines the whole map =/. Anyway here are the triggers.

BertTheJasser	Is the "Close Portal" casted by a portal? If not the, the mistakes lies in the 2nd trigger where you pick all units that have the same custom value us the casting unit, as this will have the result, when the casting unit gets picked, it will be killed itself.
