My falling bombs trigger is showing many inconsistencies

Trigger:
  • Phoenix Bombs
    • Events
      • Time - Every 3.01 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Fireball for Player 12 (Brown) at (Position of Phoenix 0021 <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 50, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to ((Current flying height of (Last created unit)) - 10.00) at 0.00
          • Wait 0.06 seconds
      • Unit - Kill (Last created unit)

So, what I'm trying to do is make these 'fireballs' spawn every 3 seconds at the phoenix's position, and then smoothly fall to the floor, and then die. (I'm going to trigger it to pick every unit within 200 of it and kill them, instead of killing itself, but that's not necessary for now). So, 0.06 seconds x 50 would be 3 seconds, right? So it should hit the floor over 3 seconds, and then kill itself. Or so it seems...

But strangely, some of the fireballs only go half of the way, hit the floor but don't explode, and so on, though some of them work properly. It's very inconsistant.

Anyone know what's going on?

Increase the event time, see what happens.

And, as far as I know, waits and time isn't exact down to the decimal.

You can. Use more functions, one will be executed every 3.01 and second every 0.06. It will be more difficult than with Waits, but it won't cause problems.

Or just learn Jass and make it easily with timers. This is probably the best solution :)

Sorry, but I'm going to ask a new question in my thread, because a whole new thread would be rather unnecessary. Say we have a trigger like mine except with a For Each Integer A from 1 to 50 with a simple action, like spawn 1 footman, and a 2 second Wait, with a periodic event of every 4 seconds. Will the For Each Integer A continue to go its remaining 48 times even if the trigger is going on again? In other words, can a trigger have more than one instance going on at the same time?

Thank you! I never knew you could add an expiration timer. That can help me with a completely different thing I was doing a few days ago, too.
Now I am just using a dummy unit with the Kaboom! skill and the Inferno ability as its model file.
And I removed the phoenix and just made them spawn in random regions.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I really appreciate the help!

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
