Instant D/C when using this trigger.

I have a cooldown window based revive - buy back trigger and it works fine in singleplayer. However, I hooked up a friend and we played together. The moment I died and typed -bb , I get instantly disconnected. I'm not sure if it is a server-splitting leak or whatsoever. Here are the triggers:

This just sets some boolean variables to true at the start of the map. True = Alive, False = Dead
Code:
Init Values for Player unit Status
    Events
        Map initialization
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P1 = True
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P2 = True
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P3 = True
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P4 = True

When Blue's hero becomes revivable, this trigger fires off.
Code:
R Blue Becomes Revivable
    Events
        Unit - A unit Becomes revivable
    Conditions
        (Owner of (Revivable Hero)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)
    Actions
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P2 = False
        Set RevivableUnit[1] = (Revivable Hero)
        Countdown Timer - Create a timer window for Timer[3] with title ((Name of (Owner of RevivableUnit[1])) + (Revive in..  + (String(((Level of RevivableUnit[1]) x 3)))))
        Set cd_timer_window[3] = (Last created timer window)
        Countdown Timer - Show cd_timer_window[3] for Player 2 (Blue)
        Set Real_Number[1] = (3.00 x (Real((Level of RevivableUnit[1]))))
        Countdown Timer - Start Timer[3] as a One-shot timer that will expire in Real_Number[1] seconds
        Trigger - Turn on Revive Blue <gen>
        Trigger - Turn on R Blue Buy Back <gen>
It also turns on these two triggers.
This trigger revives the hero at a region after the cooldown timer expires. It fires off with no issue.
Code:
Revive Blue
    Events
        Time - Timer[3] expires
    Conditions
        IsAliveBoolean_P2 Equal to False
    Actions
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P2 = True
        Countdown Timer - Hide cd_timer_window[3]
        Countdown Timer - Destroy cd_timer_window[3]
        Hero - Instantly revive RevivableUnit[1] at (Center of REVIVE <gen>), Show revival graphics
        Selection - Select RevivableUnit[1] for (Owner of RevivableUnit[1])
        Camera - Pan camera as necessary for (Owner of RevivableUnit[1]) to (Center of REVIVE <gen>) over 0.50 seconds
        Set RevivableUnit[1] = No unit
        Trigger - Turn off R Blue Buy Back <gen>
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

and this trigger here is what disconnected me instantly. What this trigger does (or attempting to do) is when blue types -bb, I will destroy the cooldown windows instantly and revive the hero at the region. It works fine in Single Player, but online, disconnects me instantly.
Code:
R Blue Buy Back
    Events
        Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -bb as An exact match
    Conditions
    Actions
        -------- ------------- --------
        Set IsAliveBoolean_P2 = True
        Game - Display to Player Group - Player 2 (Blue) the text: (|c00FF7F00That Buy back costed you: |r + ((String((200 x (Level of RevivableUnit[1])))) + |c00FF7F00 Gold. Ouch!: |r))
        Countdown Timer - Hide cd_timer_window[3]
        Countdown Timer - Destroy cd_timer_window[3]
        Hero - Instantly revive RevivableUnit[1] at (Center of REVIVE <gen>), Show revival graphics
        Selection - Select RevivableUnit[1] for (Owner of RevivableUnit[1])
        Camera - Pan camera as necessary for (Owner of RevivableUnit[1]) to (Center of REVIVE <gen>) over 0.50 seconds
        Player - Add (-200 x (Level of RevivableUnit[1])) to (Owner of RevivableUnit[1]) Current gold
        Set RevivableUnit[1] = No unit
        Trigger - Turn off Revive Blue <gen>
        Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Any help will be great. Thanks!

There are a few Camera and Timer functions that are known to cause disconnects. I am not entirely sure which ones it were, but I would try to remove any Camera code first and test again. If that doesnt help, remove the timers too and instead count the time yourself.

It seemed like the issue was the camera. Thanks for the response! I didn't know a camera movement could leak so badly.

it has nothing to do with leaks. Just bad programming from blizzard.
There are certain functions that, when called, do some actions JUST for one player. The local player. Whenever an action is performed only for one player the game could desync. This happens, for example, when a new object is created for only one player. Since all the other players dont have this object but one of them does, the game will obviously desync.
Now, some of the GUI functions actually perform actions only for the local player. Why? We will never know...

    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
