[JASS] Barrage - Lightning Effect

[Interceptor]

Is there any way to make Barrage to fire lightning effects like Chain Lightning - Secondary instead of rockets?

Using the lightning effect option in the ability doesn't help.
This does not help either:

function Trig_barrage_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_barrage_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local lightning lght
    call AddLightningLoc( "CLSB", GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), GetSpellTargetLoc() )
    set lght = GetLastCreatedLightningBJ()
    call PolledWait(0.20)
    call DestroyLightning(lght)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_barrage takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_barrage = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_barrage, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_barrage, Condition( function Trig_barrage_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_barrage, function Trig_barrage_Actions )
endfunction

It works fine for me like this:

function Trig_barrage_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
endfunction

function Trig_barrage_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local location l = GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit())
    local location l2 = GetUnitLoc(GetSpellTargetUnit())
    local lightning lght = AddLightningEx("CLSB", true, GetLocationX(l), GetLocationY(l), GetLocationZ(l), GetLocationX(l2), GetLocationY(l2), GetLocationZ(l2))
    call PolledWait(.2)
    call DestroyLightning(lght)
    call RemoveLocation(l)
    call RemoveLocation(l2)
    set l = null
    set l2 = null
    set lght = null
endfunction

function InitTrig_barrage takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_barrage = CreateTrigger( )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_barrage, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_barrage, Condition( function Trig_barrage_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_barrage, function Trig_barrage_Actions )
endfunction

You are using JASS, take advantage of that and use coordinates, not locations.

 

[Element of Water]

I agree. It'll just cause lag if there are too many units using it at once.

Thanks for the help.
I'm still beginner at JASS functions. Used GUI for years and I'm still adapting.

I chose not to use coordinates because it wasn't made apparent that the OP had the intention or even knowledge of doing so. I thought it'd be easier for him to understand locations.
