Chain lightning doing armor reduction

[RobinValentine]

I want to make it so that when I cast chain lightning that all enemies that are in the beam (including targets) gain a armor reduction. however I don't want it to deal damage.

You will need to trigger this on your own, picking random target that has not yet been hit by the chain and then pick all units between the last target and the new target, add them all to group and then make dummy units apply any armor reduction debuff (like faerie fire or acid bomb, etc.)

u might be able to add a buff that does armor reduction if u only want the armor reduction to be on the units that the lightning hits. if not then u have to do what nichilus said.

To pull off what you are asking requires a custom chain lightning or you need to see if the game can detect all units from the standard chain lightning. Regardless you must infuse it with dummy units to cast these armor reductions on these units for that period of time.

The Chain Lightning base damage must be 0.01 or 0.1 or some non-zero number for the spell to work properly, especially for AI casting.

As for the trigger, I'd assume that when ever a unit is targeted by an ability (event) equal to Chain Lightning (condition) apply Orb-of-Corruption-bonus? to triggering unit(action) should work {at least point you in the right direction. I'm not sure if the2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.. units are targeted though. Also not sure about the units between targeted units though...

I think this only applies to the first target of the spell, not the others.
