I have a trigger that posseses a unit giving control over the unit for a limited amount of time and putting them in cinema if they are a human controlled unit, before going out of the unit and giving back control... but it never gives back the control to the person.

Ignitedstar	It's really hard to read the trigger. Please use [trigger] tags.

EveOfFire	That should help right?

zen87	hmph.... don't use wait action for this, use timer instead

EveOfFire	Even so, I doubt that would help with my trigger's problem.. :/ plus there is more then one action that is to be done after the wait, like the fireball to stun the person for a few seconds so the person can get away.

-------- Shouldn't the below value for the array be -player number of owner of casting unit? ;p --------

Wait 60.00 seconds

-------- After a wait action stop referring to units/players of Event Responses functions, this values may get lost by then. i think only -triggering unit and triggering player keeps its values till the end of the trigger. --------

good luck, the spell looks good.
surely u'll end up with something different after some tests. i mean, the player having his unit possessed cant play for 60 seconds.

EveOfFire	Yeah, but it won't give back the unit, tested it on a dog in game, and I was walking around for 15 mins as a dog :/ Edit: Wait, I think I see the problem, if this is it I'm going to hate myself for not seeing it sooner, but if it is why did it allow me to possess the dog in the first place?!

Anitarf	Don't use Casting unit, it's bugged and can fail after a wait, use Triggering unit instead.

1RingToRule	I had a problem like that with a map of mine about a year ago. Simply store the (casting unit) as a variable and refer back to it for everything after the wait. If you are making it a multiplayer you will need multiple variables or an array as then you can run into the problem of someone doing the same spell/ability while you are waiting.

Anitarf	There's no need for all that, Triggering unit will work just fine.

1RingToRule	Are you sure that works in multi-instancing?

Anitarf	Absolutely.
