Help Request: Mine turning into another mine

I'm working on a mod that includes a wand, this wand should cast a DoT on an enemy that causes it to, every turn, drop a dummy mine under with no use that turns into a lockdown-causing mine after one turn. The dummy mine transformation is to prevent the rune from instantly locking down the affected monster in place.
I'm having trouble, however; the dummy mine either casts the lockdown mine on the enemy after one turn and whiffs, doing nothing; or it will cast it successfully on the enemy, triggering the perma-lockdown again. No matter what I do, it always casts it on the enemy either way, because it thinks I'm telling it to do that. I've tried everything, including different targetting systems.

I need some help getting it to do what I need to do. Anyone help?
Attached is a pastebin of the current code.

self is not an effect type.

 

Yeah, I realized that while testing what it did. I meant to set it back to trigger before uploading, but forgot to. Please ignore that.

 

Well the thing with delayed triggers is that you can't have a delayed trigger on a tile as it stands. So dots and delayed triggers only activate on the monster itself rather than a tile. You used that in your code even. So as it is right now the only method to create a delayed effect on a tile is to summon a creature and put it on that using taxa.

Code:

<spell ... all the stuff here ...>
      <effect type="summonhostile" monsterType="The type of monster you're using"/>
      <effect type="damage" slashing="500" taxa="Previous monster type"/>
      <!-- killing it isn't always necessary depending on the spell but probably should be done in this case -->  
      <effect type="trigger" spell="Spell to trigger" taxa="Previous monster type" amount="delay"/>
</spell>

 

Woop, guess I'll just drop a note in the modding requests and scratch this wand for now. Thanks for the help.

 

You don't need to because you can do that right now with the code I just gave.

 

Thing is, wouldn't other monsters collide with the summoned monsters? And I don't think you can summon a monster in the tile something's standing on.

 

Well you kill them so they don't collide, and I hadn't actually though that this case involved it necessarilly being under a monster and thus it'd get 'deflected' so to speak to another tile.
