Corpse Explosion (Cant fetch target of ability being cast)

[Kukeiko]

Moinmoin,

im trying to create a Spell similar to the Diablo 2 Necromancers "Corpse Explosion," which, when cast, lets a random Corpse nearby explode and deal Damage to surrounding Enemies.

I thought Anub'Araks Beetle-Summoning Spell would be perfect. I set each "Summoned Unit"-Type of Data to Zero.

But im crashing into the problem that in the Trigger, the "Target Unit of Ability Being Cast" does not seem to work, as if there wouldn't be any target.

Any Ideas on how to find out what Corpse has been used in order to summon Units?

Thanks in advance!

PLEASE CLOSE

The Error was in using the wrong Event Method.
Seriously, the german Translation sometimes seems to be fucked up.

EDIT: OK, seems you solved it already.

This is basically how it goes. You can modify the damage equation to be something like (75 + (25*ability level)). The caster damages an area around the corpse, meaning it will damage allies too. If you don't want that, you must create a group, pick every unit within range matching codition...and the pick every unit in the group and damage them.
