What's wrong with my trigger?

Hello, i am making my own RPG-map and want some help to a trigger.
The trigger Make a lightning effect to all enemies in 700 range around the Caster. the problewm is that my other trigger that make the lightning effect move doesnt turn on when i ask it to do it. And even if it turn on i doesnt move to hte position i told iit to do. help me please!!!! HERE IT IS:

Events:
Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability

Conditions:
(Ability being cast) Equal to (My spell)

Actions:
Unit Group - Pick every (unit in 700 of (Position of (Casting unit))) and do (Actions)
Loop - Action:
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Action) else do (Else Action)
If - Conditons:
(Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile
Then - Actions:
Lightning - Create a Drain Life lightning effect from source (Position of (Casting unit)) to target of (Picked unit))
Set Lightning_Effect_Enemies = (Last created lightning effect)
Trigger - Turn on Lightning Effect Trigger <gen>
Wait 5.00 seconds
Trigger - Turn off Lightning Effect Trigger <gen>
Lightning - Destroy Lightning_Effect_Enemies
Else - Actions:
Do nothing



Lightning Effect Trigger:

Events:
Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time

Conditions:

Actions:
Lightning - Move Lightning_Effect_Enemies to source (Position of (Casting unit)) and target (Position of (Picked unit))

(when i make new postion of the effect the position of the picked unit still counts at the point it was from the start (even if the picked unit move))

Please use trigger tags for your triggers.

[.trigger]Unit - Kill (Triggering Unit)[./trigger] (without the fullstops).

Your triggers also leak: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/triggers-scripts-269/things-leak-35124/

You also don't need to put the action "Do Nothing".

I know that things leak.. that's why i need help. Can some1 please post a trigger like mine that works?

Here's a trigger like that. Use a lightnting array instead of special effect array.

Trig

• Untitled Trigger 040
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) skips a cinematic sequence
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer c = udg_scount
    • Set point = (Center of (Playable map area))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 9, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set point2 = (point offset by 256.00 towards (Random real number between 0.00 and 360.00) degrees)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at point2 using Abilities\Spells\Other\AcidBomb\BottleImpact.mdl
        • Set ear[(scount + (Integer A))] = (Last created special effect)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • scount Greater than 8000
      • Then - Actions
        • Set scount = 0
      • Else - Actions
        • Set scount = (scount + 9)
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Custom script: set udg_i1 = c
    • For each (Integer A) from i1 to (i1 + 9), do (Special Effect - Destroy ear[(Integer A)])

variable name / type
i1 / integer
scount / integer
point / point
point2 / point
and a lightning array

No need for vJASS for that.

I actually didn't notice the periodic trigger. You can use www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/gui-unit-indexer-1-2-0-2-a-197329/ to create the spell.
