I want from you to make this chain lightning spell more advanced in every way you want or you can make a new spell. I want the chains of lightning being circular. I really need this spell.

Wat.
You've made a spell and now you want it more advanced? Advanced how?

I can make it spray pink unicorns that tell each player they love them every 0.357 second. Is it advanced enough?

What?? I want the chains of lightning being circular. Can you do it?

LordDz · Jan 27, 2017

You didn't mention that in your opening post, so how should I have known that was what you wanted?
But sorry, aint got no time

Dehua_Darbuya · Jan 28, 2017

Your trigger has numerous flaws in it. I'd help you fix it but I don't know what your spell is meant to do (might want to add that in the OP). In the meantime, I strongly recommend that you take a look at Memory Leaks.

You're creating a hashtable each time the spell is cast, which is never used
You add the Attacking Unit to the group but there is no Attacking Unit with that event (maybe Target unit of ability being cast?)
You're creating a region between the two units and storing it's height, which isn't necessary
You're storing the number of units in the group into two separate variables, which again, are not used
The FireLordDeathExplode effect is leaking because it isn't destroyed
In your second If-Then-Else statement, both lightning units are leaking a location each when created
In your loop, each special effect is leaking. You also remove the location after the first special effect and therefore each subsequent effect will be most likely created at Point(0,0) as there is no longer a reference to the initial location. Additionally, this makes each subsequent custom script call to remove the location pointless (pun not intended [ok, it was intended])

Your simple spell is too advanced for me. What does it do?

Really?? But it is just a simple spell. You cannot make spells like this??

When you attack to a target unit with the chain lightning spell, it would make some fire effects and a big Chain of Lightning from a far distance to the triggering unit.

I guess that's a start. Can you elaborate? For example, do you want the fire effects to play in a circle around the target? The more details about what the spell does or what it should do, the better.

Ah, that's it! I want fire effects or chain lightning being played in a circle area.

Dehua_Darbuya · Jan 29, 2017

If you just want the effects in a circle (Eg: ring of fire), something as simple as this would do. You would just need to adjust the number of special effects, which type and the angle per effect. The example plays 16 effects every 22.5° around the target at a distance of 256.

      - Set LoopPoint = (TempPoint offset by 256.00 towards (22.50 x (Real(LoopInteger))) degrees)

I want lots of this effect move around a circle.

Still, that doesn't really help much. I know this is a request forum but you can't expect others to read your mind. You might want to figure out what exactly you want from this spell because until you know what you want, we can't help.

PrinceYaser · Jan 29, 2017

Well, you've made this spell that will make MarkOfChaosTarget special effect in one area, right? I want this spell make more of this effects around a circle area. It means that this spell should create some MarkOfChaosTarget effects circular like a merry-go-round.

Did you understand?

Tasyen · Jan 29, 2017

Sounds like you want to let missles circle around your Caster. Each bound with a Lightning.

Yeah, that's it!

Tasyen · Jan 29, 2017

I made a Spell somehow to the given information.

Lightning Circle

Creates 4 Lightning-Orbs this will circle around the Caster. Each Lightning sends Electric energie between Caster and Orb damaging all Foes between and deals 30/50/70 Dmg a second.

Hey Tasyen! That's simply great! That is what I was looking for.
Thanks, mate!
