I created this spell, which, once cast is suppose to jump from 1 enemy target to another, then once it runs out of targets, blow them all up dealing damage to all the targets it bounced to. The trigger I made used to work just fine, but for some reason has all the sudden stopped working. I've gone over the trigger, the dummy unit, the spell it casts, and other various things a dozen times and can't seem to figure this out. Any ideas or suggestions would be great. Here's the trigger:
Trigger:
  • Firefly
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Firefly
    • Actions
      • Set Firefly_Caster = (Triggering unit)
      • Set Firefly_Tar = (Target unit of ability being cast)
      • Wait until (((Firefly_Tar has buff Firefly ) Equal to True) or ((Firefly_Tar is dead) Equal to True)), checking every 0.10 seconds
      • Set Firefly_Target_Loc = (Position of Firefly_Tar)
      • Set Firefly_Grp = (Units within 400.00 of Firefly_Target_Loc matching ((((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False) and ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Firefly_Caster)) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is Magic Immune) Equal to False) and ((((Matc
      • Set Loops = (Number of units in Firefly_Grp)
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of Firefly_Caster) at Firefly_Target_Loc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Dummy_Unit = (Last created unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Firefly_Target_Loc)
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Loops, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set Firefly_Next_Tar = (Random unit from Firefly_Grp)
          • Set Next_Tar_Loc = (Position of Firefly_Next_Tar)
          • Unit Group - Remove Firefly_Next_Tar from Firefly_Grp
          • Unit - Order Dummy_Unit to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb Firefly_Next_Tar
          • Wait until (((Firefly_Next_Tar has buff Firefly ) Equal to True) or ((Firefly_Next_Tar is dead) Equal to True)), checking every 0.10 seconds
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Firefly_Grp is empty) Equal to True
            • Then - Actions
              • Set FireflyExplode_Grp = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Firefly ) Equal to True))
              • Unit Group - Pick every unit in FireflyExplode_Grp and do (Actions)
                • Loop - Actions
                  • Unit - Cause Firefly_Caster to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Real((Number of units in FireflyExplode_Grp))) x (20.00 x (Real((Level of Firefly for Firefly_Caster))))) damage of attack type Hero and damage type Normal
                  • Unit - Remove Firefly buff from (Picked unit)
                  • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Objects\Spawnmodels\Human\SmallFlameSpawn\SmallFlameSpawn.mdl
                  • Sound - Play RainOfFireTarget3 <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Picked unit)
                  • Wait 0.00 seconds
                  • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
                  • Sound - Destroy (Last played sound)
                  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_FireflyExplode_Grp)
            • Else - Actions
          • Unit - Move Dummy_Unit instantly to Next_Tar_Loc
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Next_Tar_Loc)
      • Unit - Remove Dummy_Unit from the game
      • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Firefly_Grp)

I advice you to create many dummies in order to make this work.

Save the location of the target but don't create the first dummy
Trigger:
  • Set Firefly_Next_Tar_Loc = Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)

Then change the first loop actions to these
Trigger:
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to Loop, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Triggering Player at Next_Tar_Loc facing Default building facing degrees
      • Set Firefly_Next_Tar = (Random unit from Firefly_Grp)
      • Set Firefly_Next_Tar_Loc = (Position of Firefly_Next_Tar)
      • Unit Group - Remove Firefly_Next_Tar from Firefly_Grp
      • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb Firefly_Next_Tar
      • Unit - Add 1.00 second Generic Expiration timer for (last created unit)
      • Rest of the actions here


At least it is worth of trying..

Fixed the problem, I don't if it was the recent patch that messed things up or not, but I got working again by breaking the trigger into 2 separate triggers that run off each other.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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

    Heard Houston got hit pretty bad by storms last night. Hope all is well with TH.
