[Solved] Fire Blast spell trigger

[Ilusioner]

Greetings,

I'm having a trouble with a bunch of triggers for spell: Fire Blast. Originally, those triggers were created by someoen who worked with me on my map, and they were working correctly. However I've somehow broken the trigger by messing with the object editor. The guy who created the trigger is no longer around, and sadly can't help me with fixing the trigger. I've changed 'Trigger Sacrifice' unit for something else and the trigger broke. Trying to revert the object editor changes didn't help aswell. I was hoping you guys could help me out.

Anyways, the spell is supposed to work like that:
After a brief channeling, a flamestrike occurs at the caster positiong, 0,2 second later another flamestrike in front of caster, 0,2 second later another flamestrike but futher ahead of caster and so until 5 flamestrikes occur

The triggers:

Spoiler: triggers

The problem with the spell is that the locations of next flamestrikes (So the ones after flamestrike at caster's location) occur not in the designed places (So in front of caster), but in a one spot in the map. (To clarify, that spot in the map seems to be the heaven of non-defined locations. So if trigger wants to do anything in a location that is not defined, it will do it at that spot)

Thanks in advance for the help

Well the Handle you use in the Loop and at casting is not the same. At casting you use the Handle of the Caster. In your loop you use the Handle of the Dummie-Timer.

I guess this spell will Spawn Flamestrikes at map center.

You need to hand over the location from each dummie to the next one. Save them in the timer-Unit.

I'm not that familiar with hashtables (Thus asking for help here), might explaining in simple words, or better showing how to fix the trigger?

I haven't played DotA in ages, it could be that ult.

As for the trigger, it works perfectly, thanks a lot mate!
