Cast a spell (fx Flame Strike) on unit or in region?

[Anton Wulff Jensen]

Hi there!
Quite new here, but I've been working on a map for a while, and currently trying to make a spell for a custom boss fight.

Basically I want to trigger a Flame Strike underneath the boss unit every 3 seconds.

So what I wanna know is, how do I create a trigger, that conjures a flame strike under the mob every 3 seconds. Or conjures a flame strike in the center of a region, of which the mob is standing in?

Set up a normal dummy caster unit and then do something like the following trigger. You can leave it as ‘initially off’ and enable/disable the trigger with another trigger whenever these should start/stop.

• Events
  • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set TempPoint = (Position of BOSS)
  • Unit - Create 1 DUMMY CASTER for (Owner of BOSS) at TempPoint facing (Default building facing) degrees
  • Unit - Add a 2.00 second generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Add FLAMESTRIKE SPELL to (Last created unit)
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Flame Strike TempPoint
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Thank you! I will try that out!
