Hello there, This is my first attempt to create a GUI spell with moving the dummy unit as u see (I'm kinda new to spell making..Sorry).. So the problem is..The dummy moves in the direction the unit "was" facing even if the target point isn't in the angle the unit is facing..Also the dummy doesn't disappear after it reaches it's target but it continues on it's way..And finally it doesn't do any damage while it's moving on it's way..I really need help learning how to fix this spell..Any help would be appreciated..Thank you.

1- Lookup Hanky's Dynamic Indexing (I linked you to it a while ago)
It'll help you make the spell MUI

2-

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of SPELL_TARGET matching ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile)) and do (Actions)

You can't use (Picked unit) here because no unit was picked. You should replace it with (Matching unit)

Also, you're leaking a few locations (You're never destroying them

• Center of (Playable map area)

leaks.

Also, try putting this custom script above the Pick every units line:

• set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

It make the function destroy the group by itself when it's done.

Plus, here's the real problem with the angle:

• Set SPELL_ANGLE = (Facing of UNIT_CASTER)
• Set SPELL_SPEED = 5.00
• Set UNIT_CASTER = (Triggering unit)

You're using UNIT_CASTER before it's set

      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Remove SPELL_MISSILE from the game
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of SPELL_TARGET matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of SPELL_MISSILE)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions

So that's the latest fix..After following some instructions from Magtherdion and fixing alot of leaks..Here is it..But the angle is still bugged..The missile goes in random directions :S Need help!

You're using SPELLTARGET before you set it.

Oh right! Fixed it..Now it works perfectly, Thank you Magtherdion and Maker
