echo spell help

[blacksheepwalll]

i made a spell kinda like echo slam from dota
but my one doesnt enter the loops
and it doesnt create the unit at the beginning
i made it display texts through out the spell and currently it shows the init and loop 2 init but none of the others

i pretty much wanted to create the dummy unit banshee
then death coil everything and if its an ally put unholy frenzy on it
otherwise put howl of terror on it
and then make each unit hit by the banshee use death coil on surrounding units

also the way its made now the unit being targeted by the banshee would use its echo before its hit by the banshees echo does anyone know how to make it so that it echos when the unit is hit

I'm quite sure "Finishes casting" doesn't give you "target point of ability being cast".

I think you need to use "starts the effect of an ability" and use a timer of some sort.

 

[sephiroth1234]

Yes.... Maker is right.... "Starts the effect of an ability" event response returns the target point(location). "Begins casting an ability" event response also returns the point(location). The event response you used returns the location to null or (Center of (Playable map area)) because you begin to run the trigger without any point(location) reference.
