Chain Lightning won't bounce?

[Opaque]

I have a really weird problem with Chain Lightning. I used the standard chain lightning spell - no triggers, or anything. When i gave the spell to a unit, it worked perfectly fine.　Ｂｕｔ　ｔｈｅｎ　Ｉ　ｔｒｉｅｄ　ｔｏ　ｍａｋｅ　ａ　ｄｕｍｍｙ　ｕｎｉｔ　ｃａｓｔ chain lightning, it casted the spell fine, except it didn't bounce -- wierd, huh. So I'm wondering, is it because the unit has locust? that causes dummy units to be unable to make chain lightning bounce?　Ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ　ｗｈｅｎ　Ｉ　ｒｅｐｌａｃｅｄ　ｔｈｅ　ｄｕｍｍｙ　ｕｎｉｔ　ｗｉｔｈ　ａ　ｓｔａｎｄａｒｄ　ｆｏｏｔｍａｎ，　ｔｈｅ　ｃｈａｉｎ　ｌｉｇｈｔｎｉｎｇ　ｂｏｕｎｃｅｄ　ｐｅｒｆｅｃｔｌｙ　ｆｉｎｅ．

maybe you killed/removed the unit before the lightning has a chance to bounce... otherwise, I have no problems on the past about a dummy unit with locust casting CL...

Hmmm.... is it because of a library I'm using then? Because I'm using GDD and xe. I uploaded a screenshot of my trigger, as well as the chain lightning spell I'm using, in case it will help.

I don't see a problem with the triggers or the object data of the spell...

The best way to describe your problem is by showing us your test map itself.
Attach it.

yeah, I agree with defskull, especially as I cannot reproduce the error that ur having... it might even be just a problem of the AoE, or just a weird bug which infested your map...

but -15.00 damage reduction is equivalent to 1500% damage increase per jump or 15x increase in power per jump...

If you alter Object Editor data, like changing Poison Strike - Decay Power data to 0.00, it will surely bugs the spell.
Same as the spell above, you should be careful when altering the data as it can bug the spell very much

All in all, you should provide us with a test map of your errors.
Then we can decipher what is wrong

It could also be that the dummy is created for neutral and therefore is able to cast the spell on the primary target. But the next target won't be an enemy to that neutral dummy, and the lightning won't bounce.

You shoul use hero spell from Far Seer, not from neutral hostle, or use string to order.
