Ability Being Cast Event and Condition Trouble

I have triggers and they use the condition
(Ability being cast) Equal to Vampric Aura (DH Dummy)​

I have used both Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

And it will run some random similar trigger.

All of these spells are part of a spell book
and all the spells in the spell book based off of Howl of Terror Ability

Any ideas what is going on?

You better use the Channel ability. If you use any other spell more than one time in the same unit, it will not work together. Look for a tutorial of Channel (here on the helper is 1).

Also, you'd better don't use both events, because then the trigger will run twice. In general, you should use Unit starts the effect of an ability (that means the trigger will run if the unit really casts the spell. When you use begins casting, the trigger runs before the unit even did cast the spell (for example when it has a casting time, and I thought also before the cast point)

The reason similar triggers run is because Howl of Terror's order string has been copied onto all your abilities. Hence, issuing the order to cast one will cause all of the abilities to fire, especially in a spellbook (unless you have shared cooldowns, if I'm not wrong). The Channel ability's order string can be changed, and it can also be modified to become an instant-cast ability like Howl of Terror, so it's your best choice for dummy abilities that don't actually do anything.

I made all the spells different abilities now and it works.
They only weird thing that it is doing now is when I use the abilities they still show some of the ability animation even though I have taken everything out.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
