Hi, im trying to make "Shadow Strike" spell have an ability so when casted it will target the units around the target as well (much like "Data Maximum number of targets" from Fork of Lighting or Barrage) is such thing possible via triggers?

Use a Dummy unit to cast Shadow Strike on each target inside of a Unit Group.

Attacks are pretty unreliable, Dummy units are how you "cast spells in triggers".

Describe what exactly the problem is, what you intend to achieve, what doesn't happen that should happen, what does happen that shouldn't happen, show triggers, upload screenshots, draw pictures, attach map. All of these are things you can do that will make it considerably easier to help you. There is nothing I loathe more than "it doesn't work" with 0 additional information or context. What the heck do you think I can do to fix what I can't see or understand the intent of?

I understand and it's perfectly fine to be confused or lost when using the editor. All I am suggesting is that you articulate what has stopped you, why you got lost, or what you weren't able to find/understand. If you say "I couldn't figure out how to turn a hero ability into a normal unit ability" I can tell you how to change it. :)
