So I got this embedded loop error in my code and I am not sure what causes it. I have tried a lot like making extra variables for the picked units. What I am trying to do is search for units of the type buff around a buff respawn (the unit Powerups). Then if there is a unit nearby the custom value 2 of Powerups should be increasing until it reaches a certain value and respawns another one. Maybe there is an even simpler way of doing it? Sorry for the long post but there was no option to use a spoiler.

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Trigger: Respawn Buffs
//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
bool gt_RespawnBuffs_Func (bool testConds, bool runActions) {
    // Variable Declarations
    unit lv_buffSpawnerpick;
    unit lv_buffpick;
    int lv_buff;

    // Variable Initialization
    lv_buffSpawnerpick = null;
    lv_buffpick = null;
    lv_buff = 0;

    // Actions
    if (!runActions) {
        return true;
    }

    UnitGroupLoopBegin(UnitGroup(UnitTypeFromString("Powerups"), c_playerAny, RegionEntireMap(), UnitFilter((1 << c_targetFilterPsionic) | (1 << c_targetFilterStructure), 0, 0, 0), 0));
    while (!UnitGroupLoopDone()) {
        lv_buffSpawnerpick = UnitGroupLoopCurrent();
        lv_buff = 0;
        UnitGroupLoopBegin(UnitGroup(UnitTypeFromString("Buff"), c_playerAny, RegionCircle(Point(PointGetX(UnitGetPosition(UnitGroupLoopCurrent())), PointGetY(UnitGetPosition(lv_buffSpawnerpick))), 2.0), UnitFilter((1 << c_targetFilterRobotic) | (1 << c_targetFilterPsionic), 0, 0, 0), 0));
        while (!UnitGroupLoopDone()) {
            lv_buffpick = UnitGroupLoopCurrent();
            lv_buff = 1;
            UnitGroupLoopStep();
        }
        UnitGroupLoopEnd();
        if ((lv_buff == 0)) {
            UnitSetCustomValue(lv_buffSpawnerpick, 2, (UnitGetCustomValue(lv_buffSpawnerpick, 2) + 1.0));
        }
        else {
        }
        if ((UnitGetCustomValue(lv_buffSpawnerpick, 2) >= 8.0)) {
            UnitSetCustomValue(lv_buffSpawnerpick, 2, 0.0);
            libNtve_gf_CreateUnitsWithDefaultFacing(1, "Buff", 0, 15, UnitGetPosition(lv_buffSpawnerpick));
        }
        else {
        }
        UnitGroupLoopStep();
    }
    UnitGroupLoopEnd();
    return true;
}

//--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void gt_RespawnBuffs_Init () {
    gt_RespawnBuffs = TriggerCreate("gt_RespawnBuffs_Func");
    TriggerAddEventTimePeriodic(gt_RespawnBuffs, 1.0, c_timeGame);

Is there a way I can view a specific line in the trigger editor? I don't write my triggers in galaxy so I have the GUI activated and now the ingame error said "...near line 192 in trigger test...", but the trigger test doesn't have 192 lines, so I guess I need to view the source code for all the triggers at once or something. Or any other way to find line 192.

Thanks for the help.

For my map I want to set a variable to this function:

((log(0.5X+5))^4.5)+1

My problem is converting it in the GUI of the editor. When looking for math I can only find a logarithm with the base of 2 (Log2) but I need a logarithm with the base of 10. Any input on how I could get this function to work?

Thanks I will try this.

EDIT: Ok it worked :P

So I tried creating this:

A Dummy unit with the model of a Powerup and 100 HP. When any unit comes close to this unit except for structure and only biological units within a range of 3, it should apply a behavior (dummy buff) which I can use as a condition in triggers, while dealing 100 damage to itself (or better yet just instantly kill itself). The target unit should then get a red tint (Is that even possible? I could only find player colour), and scale to 200% size.

I tried using a modified medic heal and a set of Apply behavior and Damage to do this, but I always get an error and the unit instantly disappears without applying any buff. (Maybe it targeted the structure on which it spawned, who knows)

However a solution to this would be much appreciated.

I made a dummy ability and gave it to a unit. However, the button will not correctly display the name and tooltip of the abilities. I am very confused right now searching for what might be the problem, since the exact same term "Button/Name/ZergAttack" is listed in the Text Key List ! Here are some screenshots:
