Ghost code?

Hey,
so, I've run into a problem which I couldn't solve on my own:
I#ve once written the line [ljass]call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffectTarget(string,unit,attach))[/ljass]

I deleted this line and the trigger. However it still displays the effect for some reason.

Any Ideas why this is so?
 
Yes, I say like GetTriggerUnit-. This is obviously Michael Joseph Jackson's ghost that shows its existence in Hatebreeder's code.
 
So no one knows what it might be?

I've checked my code and even the .j File of my Map and didn't find ANYTHING that creates that effect.
Oh, and I havn't used Object Editor to display any effects in my game.

... And I'm not drunk >_>
 
^ Nooo, that ghost code will still remain cuz, you know, it's ghost!
I say you start the map from scratch and see if it haunts you again.
 
It's the script coming back to haunt you for murdering (removing) it.
 
Is it appearing at the center of the map? If that's the case its not a ghost, though it may be related. Its just some graphical junk that got stuck in the system cache. Try restarting your computer then loading the map from the war3 menu rather than the test map function.

Makes perfect sense to me...

I personally recommend you try opening the map with an MPQ archiver and trying to see if you can find the line. Then you could delete it, re-add the responsible file, and the ghost will be banished! :D

    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/
