Explosive Blast
A simple ability created in GUI with hashtables. Inspired by Wizard's Explosive Blast from Diablo 3.
There's one trigger to set up the settings and the rest can be left untouched.
What does it do?
Makes the Hero blast explosively several times after a short delay, dealing damage to all enemy ground units around the Hero. Can be cast multiple times in a row, each explode dealing extra damage, but also draining more mana (or however you set the options).

1. Make sure you have "Automatically create unknown variables while pasting trigger data" ticked ON under File -> Preferences... -> General
2. Copy the custom ability Explosive Blast from the Object Editor and paste it you you map.
3. Copy the whole Explosive Blast trigger folder in the Trigger Editor and paste it to your map's triggers.
4. Edit the options as you please.
5. Adjust the conditions on Explosive Blast Targets Allowed trigger to choose which targets will be damaged by the spell.
6. Make sure the condition of Explosive Blast Cast has the correct ability (the one you copied from this map).
7. Add Explosive Blast to any unit and you're done!

Review:
- At a glance, a lot of triggering unit function calls were made in the Explosive Blast Cast trigger. Assigning a variable to the triggering unit and referring to that variable would be recommended.
- Additional filters for targeting the desired targets are lacking.

Updated!
I moved the damage function to its own trigger, so people can now change the targets in that trigger's conditions. Don't know if that's the most clever way, but feel free to suggest if there's a better one! Also made the suggested changes to the Cast trigger.
