Aura Template Killing Units???

I used your modified CS_Cache for the latest caster system so it could work with the spell factory. I created a bash aura and it work most the time. However, it will get into strange modes where it kills ANY unit that enters your aura AoE. What is going on?

I think latest caster system is having misterious issues, I would say this is a problem with DamageTypes() being used on damage options, so if you remove damagetypes from the damage options it should work...

Hm... I may need help with that, I am not exactly sure what you are talking about. I found DamageTypes in the caster system and commented it out, but it won't save now.

The aura template doesn't even use damage types.

Also, My beam ability is leaving an instance of the beam on the map after casting. Any unit that touches it is being affected by the ability.

well, send me the compiled map. (not the one in which you commented out DamageTypes for no reason)

I Private messaged you with the map.

For some reason, after updating to a new version of NewGen, I cannot save without errors anymore (I haven't changed anything).

Are you using the "Latest" caster system?

I can't do much with that map since I can't use newgen.

I need you to send me a file called inputwar3map.j

Instructions:

- Open your map in newgen
- Save it
- Errors may appear or what not, don't care about them.
- Go to newgen's folder and find a subfolder called logs
- And there you find inputwar3map.j

The site doesn't allow .j files... Ugh.

hm, I am going to name the file as .w3x, you will just need to change the extension back to .j
I hope that'll work, I just edited my pastebin entry.

LOL, duh, I'm stupid.

Did you find perchance what was wrong?

I am working on fixing the caster system.

Just a question, did this work before in a previous caster system version? (The updated cscache)

Well, I never tried my spells on an older Caster System.

I know you had to update CSCache for me to make the Spell Factory work. However, my friend is currently using the caster system used in the spell factory and he does not have any problems.

It could be an issue with the custom cscache will check your stuff later.

I was able to play your map, but it stops the game on single player and I have no idea what the hero with the deadly aura is.

Can't you make a single map in which the new aura ability and cscache + caster system are, so I can actually test it? (If you make that map don't forget to include the inputwar3map.j)
