Ugh.. Help with my trigger.

[BarzahdX]

I don't normally need help with the triggers I make, because they're basically logic.. However, I made these triggers, and they don't work--I just don't know why, at all.. They make sense, please help.

Would be awesome if I could get it to work, but even if I can't--I'd at elast like to know why.. I have faith in you.

Your generic expiration timers look a bit small, try changing them to 2 second or so.

 

[BarzahdX]

I fixed it.. I think it was the expiration timer, even though I have it set so that they take less than .4 to cast the spell, but whatever.. I've also used .5 before, so I figured it would work--but at least it's taken care of. Thanks for your reply, +rep.

 

[Renendaru]

I kinda gave you the exact answer you needed, and you tell me it isn't?

 

[BarzahdX]

Well I fixed it before you replied.

I had a hunch it might have been the expiration timers.. What I'm saying is that it doesn't make any sense that it didn't work, but now it does work, so I'm all good.. I gave you +rep(at least I tried, it wouldn't let me), what's your deal?

Off-topic question: If a dummy unit has casted a spell and is waiting to expire, will it automatically cast other spells? Or would I just set its acquisition range to 0?

> will it automatically cast other spells?

Maybe when under computer control.
Or with abilities like Heal on autocast.
With a cooldown that lasts longer than the dummy, no such "problems" can happen.
