I'm making a spell where you channel the ability on the target, and then you drain life of nearby units and give it as rough hp to the target. I made arrays to show some friends the skill and i added the ferivication (no idea how to spell it) to look if it works, but now when i stop the skill while i was channeling, the lightning effects stil happen, even with the if/then/else of Ferification, got 2 triggers:
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
  • Actions
    • Set Ferivication[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = Yes
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • Ferivication[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] Equal to No
            • (Percentage life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to 100.00
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
          • Else - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove all units of NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] from NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
            • Unit Group - Add (Casting unit) to NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
            • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
            • Set Lifegained1sec[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = 0.00
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((((Matching unit) is in NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to False)))) and do (Actions)
              • Loop - Actions
                • Lightning - Destroy Lightningie1[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
                • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]

                • Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to (Lifegained1sec[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] + (Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)))

                • Set Lightningie1[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created lightning effect)
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((((Matching unit) is in NotanymoreInCastRed[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]) Equal to False) and (((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to False)))) and do (Actions)

It's messy, I know, but I'm not very good at triggering and I don't understand JASS at all:p.
Help in GUI please :) I want them to stop following me, those lightning when i stop the spell

I'm not sure, but try this :

create a custom script and add :

JASS:
call DestroyLightning( udg_Lightningie1 )
call DestroyLightning( udg_Lightningie1_Copy2 )
call DestroyLightning( udg_Lightningie1_Copy3 )

For each new line, a new custom script.

Does that Event actualy respond on the 'stop casting' meanwhile the unit is channeling? .. I'm not sure.

hmm this is something you cant do with GUI I guess

so problem is with (Last Created Lightning Effect)

It did worked when i made it single playered, i just made arrays and now it stops working. Maybe i accidently changed it into a stop casting instead of finished a channel? And I'm quite sure that it does work with stop casting, It stops the lightning, but the next part (the second/third lightning) still comes :(. I think I will try harder with JASS, because I'm a bad learner with Jass ;P

dont change add it
both events needed for this kind of trigger as I know

I can teach basics of Jass to everyone take my MSN from profile
you can find me online 2PM-5PM (for GTM +2:00) in weekdays and you cant find me online in weekends

And "local"s of JASS makes lightning effects VERY EASY to use
