Ok, so today I download JassCraft, and made a trigger in it, and it clears with WE, but every time I cast the spell BOOM, crash. I get no real clue what happened, since I just started JASS.
JASS:
function Trig_LightningCross_Copy_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000' ) ) then
        return false
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_LightningCross_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit udg_LightningCrossCast
    local real udg_LightningCrossReal1
    local real udg_LightningCrossReal2

    set udg_LightningCrossReal4 = 0.00
    set bj_forLoopAIndex = 1
    set bj_forLoopAIndexEnd = 20
    loop
        exitwhen bj_forLoopAIndex > bj_forLoopAIndexEnd

First, most JASS coders use local variables for loop index values. Second, you're calling TriggerSleepAction() in loops. You should never sleep in loops (besides, what's the point in sleeping in loops anyway?). Instead of sleep, you should be using timers.

Also, you're creating and then immediately destroying special effects. Why? In the end, the players will never see that special effect.

And this, along with the others like it:

JASS:
set udg_LightningCrossLoc1 = PolarProjectionBJ(GetUnitLoc(udg_LightningCrossCast), udg_LightningCrossReal1, 90.00)

leaks. GetUnitLoc creates a location, but there is no variable for it. Also, you should prefer X and Y coordinates over locations.

As for your native list, maybe you mis-typed something into the native list search box?

Also, your condition function should be simplified to this:

JASS:
function Trig_LightningCross_Copy_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
endfunction

The way the editor converts conditions from GUI to JASS is just plain freaking stupid. Not only is it doing an "if then else," it's also doing "not," another unnecessary step.

This is incorrect, certain special effects can be deleted immediately and they will still show up, such as thunder clap.
Although with local variables you can easily keep a trigger MUI and leave them alive for a little longer, anyways. Just wanted to clarify that they do indeed work.

Also, please start learning JASS by our Tutorials in the TUTORIALS SECTION!

Do you think I would know what a native is if I didnt read the tutorials? And I did say that I just started to learn JASS, so I'm not gunna really know what does what yet.

Anybody who thinks that this is converted GUI. most of it is, I I'm just trying this right now, so I'm not gunna really try a full scratch trigger until I understand it better. Thanks for everybody helping thou =)

True, the ones that generate particles will continue running their particle effects (but no longer generate particles). Non-particle special effects will just disappear.
