Dummy unit problem

A few days ago some of my spells stopped to work. After some searching, i found out that the spells bug when i create two dummy units right after eachother, i.e. ''Create dummy, give it spell A and order it to cast it, then create dummy, give it spell B and order it to cast it.'' If i use a trigger like that the second dummy is never created. At all. Anyone knows a solution to this? (If not I have to make another trigger everytime i want to use two dummies...)

Here's a trigger example:
Trigger:
  • Napalm
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fire - Napalm
    • Actions
      • Set Atemp_aloc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 Caster Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Atemp_aloc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Move (Last created unit) instantly to Atemp_aloc
      • Unit - Add Napalm Bomb (Missile) to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • EGUI Leak - Remove Atemp_aloc
      • Set Atemp_aloc = (Target point of ability being cast)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Tinker - Cluster Rockets Atemp_aloc
      • Unit - Create 1 Caster Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Atemp_aloc facing Default building facing degrees [<--- This dummy is never created]
      • Unit - Move (Last created unit) instantly to Atemp_aloc
      • Unit - Add Napalm Bomb (Fire) to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Napalm Bomb (Fire) for (Last created unit) to (Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike Atemp_aloc
      • EGUI Leak - Remove Atemp_aloc

you only need to remove the leak once
also i dont think you need to move the unit after you created it since its already where you are moving it to

so try it
without both unit-move's
without the second set atemp_aloc
and without the first egui leak

Moving the units is because sometimes they aren't spawned at the correct location, due to them being spawned on top of another unit.
I got to set atemp_aloc at another space or it won't look like i want it to.
I have to keep the first egui leak action or it'll leak.

I can't, because a unit can't cast two spells at the same time right?

And, It's not only this trigger that doesn't work, it's all triggers that use more than one dummy.

why would it leak?
you can use a location more than once before you remove it i think

Nope. Everytime you want to set a location you have to remove the old one or it'll leak.

yop i got this problem too, u cant create two different dummies in one trigger and give them orders
i would solve this with creating another trigger that triggers when the napalm bomb (missile) is cast and then creates the second dummy and order it to cast the napalm bomb (fire)

also u dont need to move the unit to position where it was created :p

Seems like i have to create two triggers for every trigger that uses two dummies then. And yeah, i know i don't have to move the dummies, but I tend to do that because sometimes they don't spawn at the right place. Idk why.

    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
