Level of ability condition?

Argus	I'm making a trigger enchanted spell that creates a unit (a bomb). How can I make the trigger detect the of what level the ability is so that it can place the right bomb?

Gwypaas	Try changing: Events Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability To: Events Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Argus	I've tried that, none of the ability events seem to work.

SkriK	Waits can be bad sometimes, i've experienced several times when a wait halts a whole trigger, so test without it.

Gwypaas	If I don't rememember wrong the lowest wait you can have is 0.27 and when you try to wait 0.25 it maybe fucks up.

Captain Griffen	The lowest wait you can have is in practice 0.1. Any wait value is fine, but waits are inaccurate, and won't go below 0.1 (average), no matter what you put in. The problem is the wait. Casting unit function doesn't work after a wait. Change it to triggering unit and it will work.

Argus	Sry doesn't work, would it help to know that the ability is based on immolation?

I can't really think of why it won't work how you described, but here's your testmap with a working solution for your spell.

I removed the wait from your trigger, replaced it with a 1sec casttime in the spell and I changed the event and the condition of your "detonate Mine" trigger.

If you have any questions regarding my changes feel free to ask.

Is doing something like:

Trigger:

Untitled Trigger 001

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Set Charge

Actions

Unit - Create 1 MineTypes[(Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))] for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of Casting unit) facing Facing of Triggering unit

Set Current_Mine = (Last created unit)

And in your Initialisation trigger have:

Actions

Set MineTypes[1] = Little Mine

Set MineTypes[2] = Meduim Mine

Set MineTypes[3] = Big Mine

Worse, because it uses variables, and causes leaks? (i think it leaks)

The Elite	it only leaks if you just let the variable sit there and dont do anything with it i think if you reuse it or null it it doesnt leak again i think

TaintedReality	Gorman's thing is leaking a location, but global variables do not leak.
