You are only destroying the last special effect, not all of the special effects created by your trigger.

Something I would do in a situation like this is to create an integer variable and set it to +1 per unit targeted and set the units custom value to the value of the variable and then create 1 special effect per target and save the special effect in a variable array and then delete all of the special effects in the array of the (custom value of picked unit).

I don't know if that made sense to you but I could make a trigger and post it if you need, and you can see if it works.

Using last created effect only picks the last one, for an example if you pick 10 units and add effects to all you add 10 effects so your picking the 10th effect.

Edit: Oh noes u beat meh =o.

how could i do it tho...im telling it to add a special effect to the picked unit and its not a loop?

how could i do it tho...im telling it to add a special effect to the picked unit and its not a loop?

use an array and an integer to keep track of it, in this case i used X, and give special effect an array

    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Targets and do (Unit - Unpause (Picked unit))
    • Loop - for each integer A from 1 to X do actions
      • Special Effect - Destroy specialeffect(Integer A)

and do units have a pause animation? i was thinking you would set their animation speed to 0% and then return it to 100%

 

[tmow]

first off thank u very much for doing that repp defff given

second...is X an integer variable or a special effect variable with an array?

 

[LordXavier]

X is an integer variable
also, at the beginning of the trigger you could always set X to 0, that way it doesn't have to get super huge if the ability is cast a lot

 

[tmow]

hmm..i know this might be getting really agrivating for yall lol sorry...but...don't i need sometype of special effect array? like how does just an integer variable link it up

 

[Rainther]

The integer is array. Like SpecialEffect[0]

The green is the actual variable, the Special Effect variable, and it contains more variables because it's an array, each accessed through the value where the color blue it placed.

not working?

seeing as this problem is difficult...if you want the map i have no problem sending it...its just a few custom spells i made and intend to post up once i fix the bugs and leaks

 

[Slapshot136]

use
Unit Group - do multiple actions
instead of single action

and make it look like this

• Other stuff
  • Set x = 0
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set x = (x + 1)
      • Set specialeffect[x] = (Last created special effect)
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to x, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Special Effect - Destroy specialeffect[(Integer A)]

X is an integer variable
also, at the beginning of the trigger you could always set X to 0, that way it doesn't have to get super huge if the ability is cast a lot

ty, your right, added it in

this the final edit so far of what peeps telling me lol....anyone willing to do it if i send the map?

 

[Slapshot136]

you need to create the special effect in the same loop you reference it

you need to set x=x+1 b4 u set specialeffectarray(x)=last created special effect

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitsEffectedByfrost and do (Actions)
  • Loop -
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Undead\FreezingBreath\FreezingBreathTargetArt.mdl
    • Set specialeffectarray[x] = (Last created special effect)
    • Set x = (x + 1)

you need to destroy special effect (integer a) not x

• For each (Integer A) from 1 to x, do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Special Effect - Destroy specialeffectarray[Integer A]

if it still does not work, then post the map and i will do it for you
