edit: sorry, spoiler tags don't seem to work.

Kinda long time since I've last used the world editor, but it's great to mess around with if you're bored or come up with a new idea. Do note that I suck at fixing leaks, so... yeah.

Basically the map design is an open RPG, where almost everything is randomized: monsters, drops, spells, etc.

Several very rare artifacts that drop are meant to boost the power of each spell the hero has, whilst the artifact is being carried. The increase in spell-power is meant to be rather large, at least 2x, and at most 30x. The easiest way I've found to do this is to create a loop, where a variable controls the number of time the loop is run, and thus the spell's total power. Inside the loop I have a dummy unit re-casting the spell however many times as necessary. The strange thing (to me) is that it is only working with some spells. Others, such as starfall, seem to be working because when multiplied 30x, the animation becomes rather intense, however total damage output does not reflect on that.

Now most of these spells work fine when the output is doubled, ie 2x - but on 30x output, the total effect is still only doubled.

Here are some of the spells' triggers that aren't working: The variable ToviacMultiplier is currently set to 30.

Explosive Potion:

Healing Ward: here you can see I modified it, somewhat randomizing placement, in the hope that the problem would be solved by preventing unit stacking in the same location.

Try editing your post and using the
