Hello,

I am using the CatalogFieldValueSet function to change a data value within a table, but the value is not being passed through. I am able to retrieve that data using CatalogFieldValueGet. Example -

Assume that Ability PsiStorm is set up for auto-cast (e.g. appropriate auto cast range, filters, validators, etc). I turn the flag off in the data editor, so that prior to this trigger, auto-cast cannot be used.

    Events
    Local Variables
        sAC = "" <String>
        tAC = No Text <Text>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Variable - Set sAC = (Value of Abilities "PsiStorm" "Flags[AutoCast]" for player (Triggering player))
        Variable - Set tAC = (Game text for sAC)
        UI - Display tAC for (All players) to Subtitle area
        Catalog - Set value of Abilities "PsiStorm" "Flags[AutoCast]" for player (Triggering player) to "1"
        Variable - Set sAC = (Value of Abilities "PsiStorm" "Flags[AutoCast]" for player (Triggering player))
        Variable - Set tAC = (Game text for sAC)
        UI - Display tAC for (All players) to Subtitle area

(I removed the stuff in Events/Conditions to shorten this; assume that it is trigger-able once at a time in a controlled fashion)

When this trigger executes, it prints out to the screen -

0
0

I believe there is a problem with how I am passing in the variable to the set function, "1". I played around with other data types and conversion functions but to no avail. Any thoughts?

Thanks that's an approach that I tried as well, but it does cause considerable "structure flicker" for player 2 and player 3's perspective. If only we could Hide a Unit for a specific Player :(

Perhaps this?
