Only Runs Loop once

[Toriad]

This ability when used should create 5 dummy units at random locations around the caster then have them cast my custom ability based off shockwave in random directions based around the caster.

However it only does it once, but "debug" pops up 5 times.

                Game - Display to (All players) the text: debug
                Unit - Create 1 DummyUnit (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Random point in range of Temp_Point, with a maximum range of 500.00) facing (Random point in range of Temp_Point, with a maximum range of 500.00)
                Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave (Random point in range of Temp_Point, with a maximum range of 1000.00)
                Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        Point - Remove Temp_Point

Hmmm... The code seems weird. Never seen them before in WE. But it seems correct. And should have 5 units spawned. Try spawning 5 Footman instead of invisible dummies. See if they are spawned. Since the debug message appeared 5 times, it shouldn't be the loop problem. It should be the unit problem. No other further suggestions except by changing 'Casting unit' to 'Triggering unit'? Don't think this will help though. Seems to be the same.

the reason for the odd code is cause its apart of WE unlimited... best thing ever for gui triggers.

Also i think I should note that it works with footman and other custom units just not this one... I think I have a solution ;p

"Casting unit" doesn't make it in triggers that do their own casting.
Store it in a variable.

Sorry Acehart, say that again...

Also, figured out something else, when I DONT have them cast the shockwave, it does work. When I enable the cast it doesn't work.

The problem is this line:
Unit - Create 1 DummyUnit (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit))

"Casting unit" gets lost once your trigger does its own casting.


Set Caster = (Casting unit)
...
Unit - Create 1 DummyUnit (Custom Campaign) for Caster
