Start info: I have made an custom ability in the trigger editor. Please read the whole text else you wont understand my problem.

Units: "Vampire 0009" = The unit that can use the ability "Stalking"

Ability: "Stalking" = The custom ability

Function:
Level 1: Duration 20 seconds, The first 10 seconds the movement speed is decreased, but the next 10 seconds the speed is increased.
Level 2: Duration 40 seconds, same "system" as level 1 but longer duration(decrease, increase, decrease, increase).
Level 3: Duration 60 seconds same "system".

During this time, the unit is unvisible, the spell is made out of Wind Walk, so there is no trouble with the stealth.

Problem:
I don't know how to make different levels(I don't want level 1 to be as powerful as level 3, hope you understand what I'm trying to say :-D) in the trigger editor, so please help me with this and please explain as good as you can :)

Trigger:
  • Stalking
    • Events
      • Unit - Vampire 0009 <gen> Begins casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Stalking (Custom)

      • Unit - Set Vampire 0009 <gen> movement speed to 220.00
      • Wait 10.00 seconds

      • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
      • Unit - Set Vampire 0009 <gen> movement speed to 300.00
      • Wait 10.00 seconds

PS: I give you credits if possible if you solve this, and explain it to me :)
 
Set the waits to different durations.
"Wait # * level of ability seconds"
or "Wait # / level of ability seconds".
 
@ WolfieeifloW : that wont help because per level one increase and one decrease period is added....

@ world23wc3 : i would recommend to read some tutorial....wait in spells are bad...using a certain unit in spell triggers is not really good...you need (in my opinion) some more knowledge of spell triggering.
 
Isn't it possible to make 1 trigger for each level? And use this type of condition if it is possible to make; level of spell equal to 1,2, 3 etc.
 
Yes that is possible and I think you should do that, but remove the waits.

I can't find the function, can you show me?. And I need the waits for my spell, it's a part of it. Do you have any suggestion that I could use instead of wait functions?

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
