Ability won't trigger more than once?

[nabbig2]

When an ability, Grenade for Dummy is cast, there is another trigger that works and creates a projectile. The problem is that it is only working once, and I want it to work 3 or 4 times so that many missiles are sent.

This is the trigger:

Grenade Copy
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Grenade 
    Actions
        Set F_Pt_Grenade_TriggerPos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Set F_Pt_Grenade_TargetPos = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy grenade 2 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Add Grenade for dummy to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Set level of Grenade for dummy for (Last created unit) to (Level of Grenade  for (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pit Lord - Rain Of Fire (Target point of ability being cast)

So when the Ability is cast in this trigger, the other trigger works successfully. The problem is that when I try to have the Ability be cast more than once, it doesn't work, for some damn reason. I tried putting a wait and ordering the dummy to cast again (I did use variables), I tried ordering the dummy to cast it more than once, but I have no clue why it works only once, I also tried using Integer A. Thanks a lot, +rep.

Your trigger there should work fine.

        Set F_Pt_Grenade_TriggerPos = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        Set F_Pt_Grenade_TargetPos = (Target point of ability being cast)
        Unit - Create 1 Dummy grenade 2 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at [COLOR="Red"]F_Pt_Grenade_TriggerPos [/COLOR]facing Default building facing degrees
        Unit - Add Grenade for dummy to (Last created unit)
        Unit - Set level of Grenade for dummy for (Last created unit) to (Level of Grenade  for (Triggering unit))
        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Pit Lord - Rain Of Fire [COLOR="Red"]F_Pt_Grenade_TargetPos[/COLOR])
       [COLOR="DeepSkyBlue"]Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_F_Pt_Grenade_TargetPos)
       Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_F_Pt_Grenade_TriggerPos)[/COLOR]

Add the blue lines, change the red lines, together they fix the leaks.
Now, show us the other trigger, cause this trigger works over and over again as long as the trigger is not turned off anywhere...

PS: What is it supposed to do? What works only once? The effect of the Rain of Fire, it damages only once and you want it to repeat? If so, how about changing the number of waves in object editor > abilities > rain of fire...

Well rain of fire is simply the Order ID for the Ability, which is based off of channel. Each time this ability is cast, a dummy unit shaped like an arrow is shot, and I want to have 3 or 4 of these "arrows".

I am also using this trigger to test if the ability is cast:

Untitled Trigger 001
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Grenade for dummy
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of duncesplayer1 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees

See the problem isthat Grenade for Dummy needs to be somehow cast more times, so that those other triggers will run and I can get more arrows. But for some reason, it won't cast, and footmen aren't created more than once each time I use the ability.

Hmm... care to upload the map instead, or a new map with the spell/units inside it? Your trigger was longer than I hoped for!

 

[vypur85]

Oh crab. =.= No wonder I felt familiar with the variable names you used.

So what do you want? Throw multiple grenades? Grenades are thrown simultaneously or intervally? I can try fix it for your own needs.

 

[nabbig2]

I want multiple grenades to be thrown, in the same line of fire as the first one, is all. Just like shooting a volley of arrows one right after the other, thanks. Also I can list your name under Credits in my map if you want.

Not sure if this would work. But it should create 5 grenades at 0.1 seconds intervals (the interval may be inaccurate, but it doesn't matter). The above is not tested. Hope it doesn't compile error. Other triggers remain the same.
