[Spell] Dummy Manual Missile Problem

[sentrywiz]

This is my attempt to make a straight-line projectile. I've used this from somewhere, already pre-made by someone but have forgotten how it was made. So I tried to figure it out on my own, and got it to work for the most part, however:

1) It casts only once. After that one cast, the dummy just appears and stands in place.

2) The missile is moving pretty slowly. Is it either the time but I doubt it (0.05 sec) or the offset value.

Why dont u use Hashtable or Unit Indexer? In ur trigger may cause bugs. (But I dont know what that bug is ). Also, ur trigger has so many point leaks.

If u can import the Unit Indexer to ur map, I have the trigger for that spell for u (I only trigger the movement, the damage and target is all urs ):
