Another problem about trigger

[CuteCumber]

Description: Thundera dashes towards his facing direction, leaving a path of lightning and an image. Thundera's dash will deal damage along his path. After 2 seconds, his image will merge with him, dealing damage along its path too.

The thing is, it fires wrongly after the first cast. And the lightning effect does not appear.

omg other lol

well, how i say in other post, 0,01 seconds may bug your trigger, and may lag the game..

what happen in the first cast and what happen in second cast?

if you can, post a print

 

[CuteCumber]

Here i post a replay. Maybe it can help to understand. But still why lightning effect is absent?

 

[Ph[o]bia]

I don't know if it's the problem , but I saw

• Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

That mean Information under this won't happen. Right?

 

[Laiev]

I can't see replay without the map lol

 

[Komaqtion]

That mean Information under this won't happen. Right?

No, it means that the trigger will finish execute, and then it'll stop executing, after that... (Though it'll count as "Turned off" from the event)

 

[Ph[o]bia]

No, it means that the trigger will finish execute, and then it'll stop executing, after that... (Though it'll count as "Turned off" from the event)

oh ^^, but if he turn off the periodic trigger and don't turn on after , the trigger will do the actions once only?

 

[CuteCumber]

Oops Sorry. Heres the map.

 

[Komaqtion]

oh ^^, but if he turn off the periodic trigger and don't turn on after , the trigger will do the actions once only?

Yeah, but as you can see he also turns triggers on in other triggers

So as long as they get turned on, it should work

 

[CuteCumber]

Ok. I fixed the moving problems, but still having lightning effect problems..

 

[Laiev]

the light effect which you say is the electric panda dummy?

 

[Komaqtion]

I can't see you setting this lightning to a variable...

• Lightning - Create a Chain Lightning - Primary lightning effect from source TDCasterPoint[1] to target TDCasterPoint[2]

 

[CuteCumber]

Erm no.. But by the way I fixed everything. Lols.. Lots of careless mistake. Thank you for assisting me.

 

[Laiev]

just a add lol

change the thunder dash periodic to 0,03 the 'dash' is very good, but the time to 'image' come to you is tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo large lol

 

[CuteCumber]

I had another problem now. The first slide does not damage same units on second cast. And the 2nd slide deals more damage than stated. Any solutions??
