trigger#1:
Event - spell effect
Caondition - spell = yourSpell
Action:
Set ChargeCounter = 0
Set ChargeEnd = false
Custom Script: loop
Custom Script: exitwhen udg_ChargeCounter > 5 or udg_ChargeEnd == true
Custom Script: call TriggerSleepAction(1)
Custom Script: set udg_ChargeCounter = udg_ChargeCounter + 1
Custom Script: endloop
Create unit at pos of triggering unit
Set last created unit's dummy ability level to ChargeCounter
Order...
.
.

trigger#2
Event - unit stops channeling
Condition - spell = yourSpell
Action:
Set ChargeEnd = true

So you need 2 vars, ChargeCounter is an integer, ChargeEnd is a boolean variable. The custom script part is in jass. In jass, you have to put an 'udg_' part before the variable's name. TriggerSleepAction is the same as Wait in GUI.
Little explanation of custom script:

loop  //--> starts the loop actions
exitwhen udg_ChargeCounter > 5 or udg_ChargeEnd == true //--> every time the loop starts again, these conditions will be checked
call TriggerSleepAction(1) //--> wait 1 second
set udg_ChargeCounter = udg_ChargeCounter + 1 //--> ...
endloop //--> closes the loop (don't forget this!!)

If you get this to work, you can tell about yourself that you've used jass!

ok...i get the triggering but how to put the loops into the vars???issit put after the charge end trigger?? Or does it require WEU

 

[Spyda Man]

sry not loops in vars.....-_- its the custom script how do i implement it???/

 

[paskovich]

Vars in jass has the same name as in GUI, exept, they have an 'udg_' part before them.
For example, if you have a variable in GUI called MyVar, it is called udg_MyVar in jass.
There is the action, Custom Script (somewhere between the firs few actions in the list). If you double click on it, you see an editable line.
The script you need has 5 lines, so you must have a Custom Script action for each line!
JASS:

loop
exitwhen udg_ChargeCounter > 5 or udg_ChargeEnd == true
call TriggerSleepAction(1)
set udg_ChargeCounter = udg_ChargeCounter + 1
endloop

Here it s in GUI:

Custom Script: loop 
Custom Script: exitwhen udg_ChargeCounter > 5 or udg_ChargeEnd == true 
Custom Script: call TriggerSleepAction(1) 
Custom Script: set udg_ChargeCounter = udg_ChargeCounter + 1 
Custom Script: endloop

If you don't understand something, just ask![/code]
