Might be because you let your values go into the negatives and past 360. I had errors come up from that too which were fixed when I strengthened the logic to account for >360 <0

The editor doesn't understand a facing value of -23 for example

im not exactly sure what you're trying to do with that trigger but it looks like you're trying to see if they are facing the same direction within +/- 60 degrees and if theya re then the attacked unit takes an extra 100 damage.

if you already have the trigger then you can do some debugging with the action
Game - Display to (All players) the text: ((attacking unit is facing + (String(Facing_Attacking_Unit))) + ( attacked unit is facing + (String(Facing_Attacked_Unit))))

and also instead of Unit - Set life of (Attacked unit) to ((Life of (Attacked unit)) - 100.00) you should use
Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to damage (Attacked unit) for 100.00 using attack type Normal and damage type Normal.
this way the right unit/player gets credit for the kill if it kills the attacked unit, but this way the damage could be more or less depending on the attacked unit's armor type


edit:
also change your if conditions to:
Facing_Attacking_Unit Less than or equal to ((Abs((Facing_Attacked_Unit + 60.00))) mod 360.00)
Facing_Attacking_Unit Greater than or equal to ((Abs((Facing_Attacked_Unit - 60.00))) mod 360.00)

god damn i want to make it in form of casting on a unit ability kinda like in WOW. You sneak up behind a guy and hit backstab and it will attack from behind for bonus damage.

then instead of ur events when a unit is attacked.. do when a unit casts a ability etc.

conditions where ability equals to ur skill etc

then ur code etc.
