Well I created my first vJASS spell but it doesn't work, can you find the problem in my code?

I also recommend checking the map too, but its your choice. I see the AOE_EFFECT but it wont damage the units. There should be an effect showing that the units are being damaged, so. Here it is!

JASS:
scope HitlnS initializer init
//**************************************************************************
//
// Hitling 1.0
// =======
// SPELL_ID : Rawcode of the custom ability found in the object editor based
//            on the spell Cluster Rockets, change the SPELL_ID code found
//            in the first globals section, remember to avoid editing all
//            the codes after it. It might mess the spell up, so avoid
//            editing the core itself.
//
// DUMMY_ID : Rawcode of the custom unit found in the object editor based on
//            the unit footman, it appears invisible because it has no model
//            in it. I didn't used the dummy.mdx since I dont have it ATM,
//            anyway. This is only used to preload the ability itself to
//            avoid lags ingame.
//
// AOE_EFFECT : This is only used for effects, you can change it to anything you
//            want, replace all '\' to '\\' in order for it to work.
//
// DAMAGE_EFFECT : This is the effect that appears on the origin of the damaged
//            /affected unit. If you want to change the effect, replace all '\'
//            to '\\' in order for it to work.
//
// D_TYPE     : This is the damage type of the ability, you can change it to what-
//            ever you want, basically, this is the one if the spell is magic or
//            sonic or what element is it (cold, fire, darkness, etc.).
//
// A_TYPE     : This is the attack type of the ability, you can change it to what-
//            ever you want, but, I recomment normal since it might be weird in-
//            game if you change it to something else.
//
// Please give me comments, tips, or suggestions to help me improve my vJASSing
// skill, thank you for taking a look for my code.

JASS:
        local location l = GetSpellTargetLoc()
        local real x = GetLocationX(l)
        local real y = GetLocationY(l)
        call RemoveLocation(l)
        set l = null

Once again found another person using this mess. This has been deprecated for like a year now.

JASS:
local real x = GetSpellTargetX()
local real y = GetSpellTargetY()

I realize it doesn't highlight. The forum highlighting hasn't been updated with things like SaveHashtableHandle, type agent, SaveAgentHandle.

    endfunction    
endscope
Anyway, the real problem in your first code was that you didn't set copy to anything at all. You appeared to have forgotten to use your function CopyGroup.
However, since FirstOfGroup loops are kind of slow, I ended up recoding that area to be more efficient. Like I commented, it's better to use filters or ForGroup directly. To actually use them well though, you need to use temporary global variables. Note that nothing will ever get put inside the group all since the boolexpr will always return false.
If you had wanted to keep the FirstOfGroup loop, you didn't really need another group for it. You could have done the damaging in the first loop with only group all.
