So I am running this omnislash inspired trigger with a simple loop a from 1-10.

Sometimes it hits every number from 1-10 but most of the time it skips from 4-8 and stuff and I dont understand why or how to fix?

code below

Code:
Test Spell
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to 360 No Scope
    Actions
        Set Temp_Unit = (Triggering unit)
        Set Temp_Point = (Position of Temp_Unit)
        Set Temp_UG[1] = (Units within 500.00 of Temp_Point matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 12 (Brown)))
        Set Temp_UG[2] = (Random 1 units from Temp_UG[1])
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Number of units in Temp_UG[2]) Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Make Temp_Unit Invulnerable
                Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of Temp_Unit using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Wait 0.50 seconds
                        Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_UG[2] and do (Actions)
                            Loop - Actions
                                Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Integer A)))
                                Set Temp_TargetUnit = (Picked unit)
                                Set Temp_Point = (Position of Temp_TargetUnit)
                                Unit - Move Temp_Unit instantly to Temp_Point, facing Temp_Point
                                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Point)
                                Animation - Play Temp_Unit's Attack Slam animation
                                Unit - Cause Temp_Unit to damage Temp_TargetUnit, dealing (50.00 x (Real((Level of 360 No Scope  for Temp_Unit)))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
                                Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of Temp_Unit using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
                                Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                        Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UG[1])
                Game - Display to (All players) the text: finished
                Custom script:   call DestroyGroup(udg_Temp_UG[2])
                Unit - Make Temp_Unit Vulnerable
            Else - Actions

You have a wait within your loop. Never use waits.

The problem is that there is probably some other kind of trigger somewhere in your map. And that other trigger ALSO uses the for-each(A) loop.
Because of the wait you give the other trigger the chance to run as well, simultaneously, messing up the results of both triggers because the IntegerA value is changed by both triggers.

When you want to work with the Wc3 editor you have to learn the golden rule:
Wait == Bad

Perfect, I just made a decent jump and knockback system so I guess Ill run something similar for this.

Still wont work if he is able to cast the ability with 2 units or with the same unit before the original effect is over.

    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    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.
