AOE trigger problem

[FrAnCiS]

I have been unable to find an AOE dummy spell that allows me to be able to call a point. By AOE spell i mean before you cast it, you see the circle of where it is going to effect, eg Blizzard. Ive tried this with Flame Strike, Blizzard and Cluster Rockets and all triggering that i've use with them don't work.

What i want is a cluster rockets spell, but its not channeling, you can walk off and the spell is still going

Events
- A unit begins casting an ability

Conditions
- Spell being cast is equal to Blizzard

Actions
- Create 1 Dummy Unit at Target point of triggering unit
- Add a 6 second expiration timer to dummy unit
- Add Cluster Rockets to dummy unit
- Order Dummy unit to Tinker - Cluster Rockets target point of ability being cast

^^^That doesn't work

So im wondering if there is a spell with an AOE circle, that allows me to call the point of where it is getting cast.
Thanks.

Try Starts the Effect of an Ability?

That trigger should otherwise be fine (cept for those leaks v.v)

Cluster rockets is a unit-targetted spell, but you give a point target in the trigger...

Cluster Rockets is a point-target spell, but you gave it a unit target in the above post

With GUI's clunky, ugly, useless and inneficient orderstring GUI, it wont let you put orderstrings outside of their base targetting type (for the origional spell)

thanks purple ill try that now. And by leaks do you mean how it has triggering unit instead of casting unit, and i forgot to write last created unit, instead i wrote dummy unit. <(^@^)>

I mean like using Position of Picked Unit directly

instead, do something like

Set loc = Position of Picked Unit
Create 1 Dummy at loc
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_loc )
