Automated Casting Problem

[Tavaunum]

I don't know how many other people have witnessed this problem, but here goes.

I'm creating a spell called Searing Light, in which 8 beams of light are called down around the targeted area and use the Shockwave ability on the center of the targeted area. It's based off of Healing Ward, but I've already determined that that isn't causing the problem.

The problem is that only one of the beams of light is casting Shockwave, which is the first beam created by the spell's trigger. I'm not even sure the rest of the invisible casting units are being created. Here's part of the trigger.

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Level of Searing Light for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1

First of all, use a loop for all those effects. It will be much easier to not have such a big trigger. Secondly, what did you base your spell off? You mentioned some (target point of ability being cast) and if you don't target a point then there is a problem. In such confusion cases, you can get strange errors you know.

I've gotten a similar spell to work before, but it was based on a different ability. This one is based off of Healing Ward, just turned into a Hero ability. I'll try changing the base ability, it should most likely work.[/u]

Oooh... Just remembered a thing. Target Point of Ability Being Cast resets after one wait so if you put a wait, the Target Point of Ability Being cast cannot be used anymore.
