Charge Trigger Not Working

I made this trigger for a charge spell, it's supposed to stop the caster when he gets to the target, but it doesn't stop him, nor does it do damage.

Code:
Charge
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge (Defender)
    Actions
        Wait 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 25.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 32, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Region centered at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) with size (100.00, 100.00)) contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - ((Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 5.00))
                        Skip remaining actions
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 25.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

So, the problem must be in this line:
Code:
If - Conditions
                        ((Region centered at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) with size (100.00, 100.00)) contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
It must be calling that false all 32 times, but I see no problems with it..

If anyone can spot it, that would be great =)

Don't use "Begins casting", use "Starts the effect of".
And, instead of creating regions all over the place, check the distance between their positions.

I've made the changes, but the damage and stopping is still not applied, so the check of whether the caster is 150 units away from the target still calls false.

Code:
Charge
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Charge (Defender)
    Actions
        Wait 0.10 seconds
        Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 25.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 32, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))) Less than or equal to 150.00
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - ((Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x 5.00))
                        Skip remaining actions
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 25.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)
                        Wait 0.02 seconds

Find the problem now? ):

ahm, correct me if im wrong but doesnt a wait render event responses useless? ive heard people say it before but ive never tried it for myself. try setting triggering unit and target unit as unit variables before ur first wait, then swapping (triggering unit) for <variable assigned to triggering unit> and (target unit) with <variable assigned to target unit> i.e.

Code:
Set ChargeUnit = Triggering Unit
Set ChargeTarg = Target Unit of ability being cast
Wait 0.01 seconds
--Do remainder of your actions--

I think Ive heard what Flare is talking about thats probly it, the code looks solid except a few things.

Leaks - Offsets leak twice, set 2 points then do
Code:
call RemoveLocation (udg_YOUR_VARIABLE_NAME)
And im pretty sure that if you set the life of the unit, instead of making the the actual hero damage him, he will die and no gold credit . ( Just like for example a unholy aura that gives -life regen wont give gold on the killing blow.)

You probaly want Unit - Damage target dealing (Strength of (casting unit ) X 5 ) something like that.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
