Dragon's Flame Breath, how to create?

[Sgt_Johnson]

Hey I'm having trouble creating a flame breath type skill for a dragon in my RPG, its not supposed to be a a breath of fire, and he is not supposed to cast it.

What I need is triggers to every 15 seconds or so do a cone of damage in front of the dragon, he should not have to cast it himself, this is similar to a dragon in WoW (Nefarian, Onyxia, Vaelstraz, ect.) ATM I have no clue how to do this.

Ex. of what I need: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-237012801485418835&q=onyxia&hl=en
Watch as Onyxia does a flame breath in front of her everyonce in awhile, thats similar to what I need.

needs a Point variable called Loc, to clean up leaks.
(and a Point variable called Loc2 for the same reason)
Also, of course, needs a dummy, and a Breath of Fire skill
-------------------------------------------

Events
Every X Seconds of game time
Conditions
(none)
Actions
Set Loc = Position of (Dragon)
Unit - Create One Dummy at Loc facing 0 Degrees
Unit - Add Breath of Fire to Last Created Unit
Set Loc2 = Loc Offset by 50 Towards Facing of (dragon)
Custom Script call RemoveLocation( udg_Loc )
Unit - Order Last Created Unit to Neutral Brewmaster - Breath of Fire Loc2
Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Loc2 )
Unit - Add a 1 second Generic Expiration Timer to Last Created Unit

----------------------------------------------

hope that helps!

The map works like a WoW instance, so things such as tanks apply, if I use an actual Breath of Fire spell then he will turn from the tank and kill everyone with the breath of fire (Because of the massive damage it does) so I need to figure out how to do this so he doesn't turn and that he just casts it in front of him with no target.

Well, with this trigger, HES not casting the breath, a dummy is, and its casting it towards his facing direction

Looking at triggers I can't find a trigger that forces a unit to cast a spell at a point in a certain direction :? .

However I THINK I have come up with a spell, yet to have tested it though (considering he is the final boss of the map and takes awhile to get to)

Ummm... What about that trigger that says
Unit - Order Last Created Unit to Neutral Brewmaster - Breath of Fire Loc2
Like in Purple's script?
