Thanks for the help.

Well i don't know why. But i there's a problem in your triggering that's causing bugs:

You sound't remove the PentPoint locations inside the loop, you're removing each location 5 times, get them out of the loop and test it again

+Did you see that the lightning is very thick?
I think your problem lies in your loop (the first one creating the lightnings).

Try getting out your "Create Lightning" action + "Set LigPentEffect()" action out of the loop.

Oh i did't see that either lol, BloodlySkullz is right. REMEMBER that everytime you put something inside a loop it will repeat itself until finished.
In this case you create the same pentagon 5 times and at the end remove only 1, making 4 pentangons stay lol

I knew there was something sneaky inside this trigger , thanks bloodyskullz.
