If you'd like to try it yourself, it's quite simple:

1. Make a "dummy spell". This is a spell that does nothing, but when your hero casts it, it triggers the rest of the spell. It should have no target.
2. Make a starfall-based ability for your dummy caster (your hero won't have this spell). It must have no manacost or requirements, and mustn't be a hero ability.
3. Make a dummy caster unit. I usually base mine off Undead\Melee\Special - Locust. It should have no attack or movement, and set its model to ".mdl" so that it won't have a model. Give it the starfall-ability you made in (2.)
4. Time to make a trigger:

• Events
  • Unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • Ability being cast equal to (your ability made in 1.)
• Actions
  • Set tempPoint = position of triggering unit
  • Unit - create 1 (dummy unit made in 3.) at tempPoint
  • Unit - order (last created unit) to (night elf priestess of the moon - starfall)
  • Unit - add a 5 second expiration timer to (last created unit) (change the 5 to how long the starfall spell is)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

thanks for the reply sir but the problem is, i dont how to make a variable...

 

[TwoVenomous]

thanks for the reply sir but the problem is, i dont how to make a variable...

go to trigger editor
press CTRL + B
then press CTRL + N
then type the name you want (tempPoint in your case)
and then on the dropdown, search for the variable type (in your case it's Point variable so search Point).
then press ok and ok again.

 

[rulerofiron99]

In the trigger editor, at the top near the center is a yellow "X", click that to open the variable manager. Then in there click the green x to make a new variable.

 

[junius619]

yay it works, hahaha thank you very much sir iron99 and venomous, i couldnt done it without you 2, and thanks for point out how create a variable, but i still got a prob about the variables xD i dont know what their functions are, i mean for example unit variable, attack type variable etc...

umm so sir venomous, if im going to create a non channeling stampede, meaning to say ill go with the order variable not point variable?

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

^ No. U dont need to do that. If u want to cast stampede, u only need the location of the triggering unit to create a dummy, then add the ability to the dummy. If the ability is an instant spell (no casting point), u can order the dummy to do issue order with no target. If the ability is a point targeted ability, u must save the casting point (the point u want the ability to be casted on) as an variable. Then order the dummy to do issue order targeting point. Remember to clear all the memory leaks, otherwise it will cause ur map lagging after a long time playing. Here is the link about memory leaks and how to solve them: http://world-editor-tutorials.thehelper.net/cat_usersubmit.php?view=27242

Here are the triggers:

triggers

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your ability>
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a <The duration should be based on the duration of ur skill so that the skill will fully worked before the dummy dies> second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Starfall to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Night Elf Priestess Of The Moon - Starfall
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your Ability>
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set tempPoint2 = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for Player 1 (Red) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a <The duration should be based on the duration of ur skill so that the skill will fully worked before the dummy dies> second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Stampede to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Beastmaster - Stampede tempPoint2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint2)

As u can see on the trigger, in the first trigger is the instant spell and the 2nd is the point targeted spell. In the first trigger, I only need 1 variable to set the position of triggering unit. However, in the 2nd trigger, since it's targeting point and I dont want to leave the memory leaks inside my map so I need to set the target point of ability being cast into the other variable. Then, at the end of the trigger, I remove both of them through the custom scripts.

can i ignore the

• Unit - Add Stampede to (Last created unit)

if i already put that ability on my dummy, and tempPoint2 is Point variable too if im not mistaken?...

 

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Yes. U can if u have put the ability to ur dummy. And tempPoint2 is a Point variable too. (That's why I set its name is tempPoint2, what will it be if it's not a Point, :rotf

I guess that won't work, tried that and it doesn't work on mine.

 

[junius619]
