[Trigger] Help me with a spell

The spell is Entangling Roots, but they apply to every unit in the range of the spell. I used Blizzard to make the "cloak" of the spell and I made a dummy with the real Entangling Roots.

        • Loop - Actions
          • Unit - Order Dummy Rooter 0044 <gen> to Night Elf Keeper Of The Grove - Entangling Roots (Picked unit)
 
What leaks? And the issue is that the roots are not applied.

You leak a point and a group.. this leaks will cause lag to your map. you don't want that do you..

1)Make sure that the dummy you are using has sufficient mana to cast the Entangling Roots...
2)Make sure the dummy has the ability Entangling Roots..
3)Make sure that the ability Entangling Roots cast range is 9999 or enough for to cast it to the distance between the dummy and the target..

Isn't it better to create the unit when you cast the spell, i don't know how can one unit to root more than 1 unit at the same time, with an one target spell.

  • Pick every unit in Group and do:

    • Set point2 = Position of picked unit
    • Unit - create 1 dummy rooter at point2
    • unit - order last created unit to nelf keeper of the grove - entangling roots picked unit
    • unit - add 0.50 expiration time to last created
    • Custom Script: Call RemoveLocation(udg_Point2)

It is possible.. just create 1 dummy to cast entangling roots for each unit that is picked..

And what did i said @venger, to create a dummy for each picked unit, before, he was using 1 unit he already had in map, but ONE, to use entangling on more than 1 unit.
