[Trigger] Dispatch Spell

[CloudWolf]

This bug is a lot simpler than it might seem at first

Basically, I have made a GUI triggered spell which, when casted, causes the heroes pets to explode, dealing area damage depending on the units level.

The bugs I have are as follows:

- I need a way to make the spell unable to target any unit, except the pets

- The area damage that is dealt harms allies as well

Any idea how to fix these? Ive provided my code so far below

If you're not using it yet, you could use unit's classification. That is, set the Mongrols as Ancient, and select only "Ancient" in the Targets Allowed field.

As for the damage, you will have to use "Pick Every Unit", what's not so good at all, but do it. Because "Damage Area" will not mind about what unit it's damaging.
In the group the "Pick" selects, you can specify only enemies of Player, like:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200 of (Position of (Target Unit)) matching ((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of Player))

which will make your life easier

And you don't need a If statement for every level. You can set the Point Value of each Mongrol (or even Unit Level) to the pet's level.
So instead of doing a fixed damage, you use (point-value of (Target unit) * 75)

Those are some neat ideas especially classifying the mongrols as ancients

Solved my problem perfectly! +rep
