I've been working on this spell for about 12 hours... but I cant get the results I want.

I would like for the duration of the channeling to have a chain lighting to be cast every X seconds.

I can get it to endlessly cast chain lightnings and watch everything drop while lagging everything up.

Originally I just wanted a chain that would bounce 150 times or so and return to targets it hit before, but after looking at forums I believe Jass is required for that.

I tried throwing a wait(normal) or gametime and both stopped the trigger from working completely...

I also Use multiple triggers in order to achieve this spell if anyone could show me what I'm doing wrong or a way to compress it to one trigger I would appreciate it.
