I didnt even read whole that trigger, there is an alot easier way. Just make a dummy with 1 dmg, missle bounce attack, and then change his number of targets.
Give him a 'item attack lightning bonus' based spell that has a 100% chance to cast any spell u want.

Done :p (I know it works cuz I use it to for my campaign)

Bah cheat!:twisted: This way is too easy for making such advanced spells. It's no challenge. :wink: It really feels to easy. There must be some weak point in a such simple method.

Try looking for Chain Freezing in spells it might be what you want.
If you mean Darky's spell then know that it has bugs.

True, unless you want to do something stupid like replacing the unit constantly with a new unit I don't think your method would work ramza.

@ whoever asked this: There are a bunch of bounce style spells all over the place. Vex made a template, I made a cheesy one(that has some bugs, but easy to fix bugs) and there are also all those omnislash type spells. Which are, in essence, EXACTLY the same thing, all you gotta do is rework them to have a missile(I recommend using Drunken Haze/Acid Bomb to do the missile)

Ramza's would still work, for however many levels on the spell are possible, make that many dummy units, each with a custom ability of a bounce attack that allows however many targets.

It really is the simplest way, but if you want to get complicated you'd still need some form of dummy unit, so no matter what you're going to end up with alot of telling dummy unit with a frost attack to attack target of spell or some shit.

Really confusing, too many triggers.

Ramza is smart, listen to him, he'll save you from having an anxiety attack from stressing about what action is broken in a complex trigger 10 pages long.
