Hi!
I'm currently trying to create a custom ability now that i've became better at doing triggers.
Still I encounter parts that I cannot solve myself and therefore I need your help.

This is my trigger called "True power of ice".
There are some variables in this trigger aswell.
true_power_of_ice_array = Special Effect Array[10]
true_power_of_ice_integer = An integer that keeps which "array value" special effects should be saved to. I need to save each effects so that I'm able to remove it when I want to.
true_power_of_ice_unit_group = A unit group that adds every unit that is "600.00" when the ability is used.

Now what the trigger should be doing(but it doesn't in this case because it contains errors).
Events: Trigger starts when a unit uses an effect
Conditions: The effect or ability must be "Ice Moon Power"
Actions:
1) It adds all units to a unit group.
2) It adds a special effect at every unit and sets each created special effect to an special effect array.
3) Waits for five seconds until it removes the effect. -----This does not work-----

I'm not done with my trigger, and it felt useless to add stuff like deal damage and more effect etc. until I know how I fix this.

Trigger:
  • True power of ice
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Ice Moon Power(c)
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit))) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to true_power_of_ice_unit_group
          • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from true_power_of_ice_unit_group
          • For each (Integer A) from 0 to (Number of units in true_power_of_ice_unit_group), do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\AerialShackles\AerialShacklesTarget.mdl
              • Set true_power_of_ice_array[true_power_of_ice_integer] = (Last created special effect)
              • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String(true_power_of_ice_integer))
              • Set true_power_of_ice_integer = (true_power_of_ice_integer + 1)
          • Wait 5.00 seconds
          • For each (Integer A) from 0 to (Number of units in true_power_of_ice_unit_group), do (Actions)
            • Loop - Actions
              • Special Effect - Destroy true_power_of_ice_array[true_power_of_ice_integer]
              • Set true_power_of_ice_integer = (true_power_of_ice_integer - 1)
              • Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((String(true_power_of_ice_integer)) + removed)


All help is much appreciated!
THANKS!

Your problem is that you're using the for loops and the wait in the Unit Group loop. Move the loops and the waits out of the Unit group loop and see how that goes.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?

    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.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    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
