I tried to use 2 autocastable Effect - Instant abilities on the same unit, with some strange results: Only one can be active at the same time, it seems (could be intentional), but SC2 sometimes confuses the abilities. Lets call the Spells 1 and 2. If no autocast is active and you activate 1, it gets activated (doh!). If you want to activate 2 now, it has no effect, the 1 stays active. Then trying to deactivate 1 works, but activates 2 instantly. Deactivating 2 activates 1 again and my next try to activate 2 when 1 was active deactivated 2, so both autocasts were inactive.
Seems kinda screwed up for me; any way to make use of 2 autocast abilities?
o_0 The abilities both work perfectly fine. Both have the flags transient, auto cast and use an apply behavior effect. Additionaly they are levelable. The separate auto casts work fine as well o_0
The only problem occurs when trying to activate their autocasts.
€ okay, the autocasts work together, the problem is just the visual autocast indicator. It kind of seems like only one ability can be indicated as currently auto-casting.
Yeah the graphic sometimes doesn't display properly on 1 or all of the abilities. Just select another unit and then go back to your hero and it should fix the graphic.
Also note that the transient flag is a nightmare to work with and doesn't seem to even work properly with targeted abilities.

Yes. There's absolutely nothing special that you need to do either. Sounds like an issue with your abilities themselves.

Well, I did not use it with targeted abilities yet and for stuff like applying behaviors to the unit itself it seems to work just fine (until now :) )
Thanks for your help.
€ re-selecting actually changes nothing, even after doing it tons of times ;)
