Hi, I've been learning JASS for... 2 and a half days now and thought "hey, let's create a spell".
I didn't want to create anything fancy, so here is the idea:
Spell Idea:
When a certain AoE-ability is cast, every enemy unit inside that AoE will be hit by storm bolt.
As the level of the spell increases, the amount of targets hit by the spell will increase.
I've used dummies for the storm bolt and the AoE-spell is based of Blizzard.
Problem:
The problem is that the spell doesn't always work, I've tried it multiple times and got a 10% activation chance (I've tested the map twice, casted the spell 10 times in each run, in the first run the spell activated 2 times, in the second run it didn't activate at all - that makes 2/20, or 10% -.-).
Of course, I want it to activate whenever I want it, 10% isn't enough...
Narrow the problem down:
I've created simple messages that occured at logically placed times in the trigger.
This is what I have found out:
Object Info:
Any help is appreciated.
Please do not begin shouting for obvious fails -.-

This is what I have found out:
- Everything before the loop always works as expected
- The loop itself only activates in 10% of the cases (when the actual spell works)
- Everything after the loop does not activate if the loop isn't activated
Object Info:
- Dummy (h000): 10k mana, 1000 mana regen - has the abilities "locust", "invulnerable", "Storm Bolt".
- Blizzard (A001): 800 AoE, 900 cast range.
- Storm Bolt (A000): 0 mana cost, 0 cooldown, 0 cast time, 2000 cast range.
Any help is appreciated.
