[Solved] Strange problem i have never had before.

[Choggers]

Its probably me being dumb but I cant seem to call this function whenever I do it seems to not work the code is below

function CreateSpecialEffectLoc takes location loc, real duration, string EffectPath returns nothing
set SpecialEffectCount = SpecialEffectCount + 1
    set SpecialEffect[SpecialEffectCount].SpecUnit = CreateUnit(Player(15),'h000' , GetLocationX(loc), GetLocationY(loc), bj_UNIT_FACING)
    set SpecialEffect[SpecialEffectCount].SpecEffect =  AddSpecialEffectTargetUnitBJ( "chest", SpecialEffect[SpecialEffectCount].SpecUnit, EffectPath )  
    set SpecialEffect[SpecialEffectCount].CurrentDur = 0
    set SpecialEffect[SpecialEffectCount].MaxDur = duration
endfunction

i am calling it like this

call CreateSpecialEffectLoc(udg_Imprison_Loc, 0.75, "Doodads\\Cinematic\\FireTrapUp\\FireTrapUp.mdl")

the strange part is if I put a debug message before calling it the message will show however if I try to display the message after I call this function then it does not show...

thx in advance and +Rep to the people who help me.

Be sure that SpecialEffectCount is initialized (to 0?) before calling this function. I haven't Jassed in a long time, but that sounds like it might be the issue.
