Hi...I tried to modify this spell:

http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/laser-v1-2a-153037/

so just wanted to add second lightning object that is next to the original one...as if they both come from the hero's eyes. Simply I declared another lightning type variable and all other coordinates for the second one...like x1,y1,z1,tx1,tx2,tx3.....they all set correctly with their match I suppose but I got compile error like I cannot convert real to lightning and stuff...but its impossible because it already does for original lightning object and works.
So Here's the codes:

is there anything I missed or there are another things I have to deal with?

This is caused by the font you use. The first lightning variable's name is small L, and it looks a lot like 1.

Variable names in Jass nor vJass can start with letter, so change the name to l2, and change all the references to that lightning accordingly.

The error specifically is because you do this.2 or .2 or even 2(I noticed the second form, but all three forms are valid for referencing nonstatic data inside struct inside nonstatic methods, or in methods with this variable declared), and while the first one could be parsable, the second one is actually a real, and the compiler sees it as so, and the third is actually integer. Therefore the compiler thinks you are passing real value of 0.2 into MoveLightningEx etc, whereas you are trying to pass in lightning 2.

thanks...fixed it... with what kind of thought I actually named that variable with a number I still cant believe:)
it works now. two lightnings come out of hero's eyes. but only when it looks up and down. when I make it look right and left the starting positions of lightnings mess up because these operations only stores the X point of the unit not the facing angle X of it.

JASS: 
set .x          = GetUnitX(.caster)-20
set .x1         = GetUnitX(.caster)+20

I need something like GetUnitFacingAngleX or something...I hope JASS has that kind of operation. -20 and +20 are the X distance between the lightnings. but I guess I need to make this difference to Y coordinate, too. Z stays same, its just the height of the lightnings.

I want those 2 lightning projectiles look like coming from the hero's eyes from every angle the hero turns. I think I also should use GetUnitFacing with GetUnitX and GetUnitY somehow. Just need a correct equation for this.

This is what I've done:
JASS: 
            set .x          = GetUnitX(.caster)-10*Cos(GetUnitFacing(.caster)*bj_DEGTORAD)
            set .x1         = GetUnitX(.caster)+10*Cos(GetUnitFacing(.caster)*bj_DEGTORAD)
            set .y          = GetUnitY(.caster)-10*Sin(GetUnitFacing(.caster)*bj_DEGTORAD)
            set .y1         = GetUnitY(.caster)+10*Sin(GetUnitFacing(.caster)*bj_DEGTORAD)
            set .z          = GetLocationZ(Location(.x,.y)) + L_HEIGHT + GetUnitFlyHeight(.caster)
            set .z1         = GetLocationZ(Location(.x1,.y1)) + L_HEIGHT + GetUnitFlyHeight(.caster)
            set .tx         = GetSpellTargetX()-10
            set .tx1        = GetSpellTargetX()+10
            set .ty         = GetSpellTargetY()-10
            set .ty1        = GetSpellTargetY()+10
            set .tz         = GetLocationZ(Location(.tx,.ty))
            set .tz1        = GetLocationZ(Location(.tx1,.ty1))

still its not working proper...by distance if you mean the distance between two lightning it should be just 10(smallest value to show that they come from eyes) everything here so far is true right?...x starting point of lightning and tx is the end point of course....x1 to tx1 is same also(this is for the second lightning)....codes show everything you need to see. dont know what else to do

Im not sure if I should change - with + but there is a logical problem at there.
If I look down or up, cos(90 or 270) is gonna give me 0 which will make the starting points of lightnings same, I mean they wont look like as if they come from eyes it will be seen like one lightning.

cant figuring out a simple stuff like this is really devastating:|
