problems in channeling mui ability attempt

[kelogsloops]

so i've got a spell that makes a missile and sends it towards a target location and upon destination, it circles the area for the remaining seconds of the cast which is 5 second effect (including moving towards the point). i've got the circling bit right, but then when i was told to make my moving units as missiles triggers MUI by using hashtables, i encountered some problems.

firstly, when the spell is cast, and as the first missile circles the target point, if i cast another one, both missiles circle the SECOND target point. (the first one moves to the second point), and when the first missile dies because of its expiration timer, any remaining missiles and missiles cast after that just magically move towards woopwoopland (i think center of map).

secondly, i wanted to make it that if the hero cancels or stops CHANNELING, any missiles alive would be destroyed.

here are my codes ;/

From your explanation, and scanning through your triggers, what I can tell is, your point is not MUI. Also, when you clear your hashtables, it should be key(picked unit).

Okay after further looking, I realised you're not utilizing the saved values properly. Why are you saving the angle, and then loading it, but not using it?

Do something like

set temppoint = position of picked unit offset by 40/3 facing loaded angle
Move unit to temppoint
clear temppoint

Also your target loc.... it's set in the first trigger, why aren't you using the loaded value..

Oh!!!!

Also your target loc.... it's set in the first trigger, why aren't you using the loaded value..

that was the problem heh, my bad again, sorry!
