[Solved] Help with triggered AOE and DPS spell

[sarumanthecursed]

Hi all and joyous holidays to all you hivesters xD I need help involving the triggering of this ability:


Slams the ground, cracking the earth's crust and spewing molten lava and flames upon all nearby enemies, dealing 225 initial damage and 10 damage per second every second afterwards for 10 seconds.

Here's the ineffective trigger that I came up with:

• Smoldering Clap
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Smoldering Clap
  • Actions
    • Set tempowner = (Owner of (Casting unit))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 312.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of tempowner) Equal to True) and (((Picked unit) is alive) Equal to True))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 225.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Universal
        • Unit - Create 1 CHD - Smoldering Clap Dummy for tempowner at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing (Center of (Playable map area))
        • Unit - Add DPS Smoldering Clap to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Attack (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add a 0.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

*Note: "DPS Smoldering Clap" is a poison ability based off of vanilla "Envenomed Weapons" and the base ability being used is "Thunder Clap" with aoe set to 0.

When you are filtering the units, using (Matching unit) instead of (Picked unit).

On a side note, that way of filtering is not the best. I recommend you take a look at this tutorial for a better way to filter units.
