    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Snow_Point = (Temp_Point offset by 125.00 towards (18.00 + (72.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)

        • Set Snow_UnitGroup[1] = (Units within 150.00 of Snow_Point matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of Snow_Trig_Unit)) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to False))))
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Snow_UnitGroup[1] and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause Snow_Trig_Unit to damage (Picked unit), dealing Damage[Damage_Integer] damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Snow_Point)
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 6 to 15, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Snow_Point = (Temp_Point offset by 250.00 towards (54.00 + (36.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)

        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Snow_UnitGroup[2] and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Unit - Cause Snow_Trig_Unit to damage (Picked unit), dealing Damage[Damage_Integer] damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Snow_Point)
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • For each (Integer A) from 16 to 35, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Snow_Point = (Temp_Point offset by 400.00 towards (72.00 + (18.00 x (Real((Integer A))))) degrees)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Snow_Point using Abilities\Spells\Undead\FrostNova\FrostNovaTarget.mdl

everything works perfectly, except damage--...

its simply the order you set the variables.

you first do

• Set Damage_Integer = (Level of Ice Blast for Snow_Trig_Unit)

and afterwards you do

• Set Snow_Trig_Unit = (Triggering unit)

the trigger cant see into the future so it cant set damage integer because theres no snow-trig-unit during the first run. just switch these 2 lines and itll work.

but beside that...i would recommend learning gui spell triggering because i see several things that should be avoided....and the trigger isnt mui or even mpi. just one unit and only this ione unit can have this spell because otherwise it could cause problems using the waits. but thats just a tipp. ;D

most likely because you set damage integer before snow trig unit but this whole thing is just a big lol

Thanks man!

and what I did wrong about spells thaat u told mei should avoid? cuz i'm still learning(very noob anout spells) and this is one of best spells i made xD

 

[claptomanic]

then i would recommend reading some tutorial here on the hive...

here are they^^

just go through the titles and read the ones you are intrested in or the ones your think you could need/use^^

and to your trigger :

1. WAITS ARE BAD!
2. why youre using a unitgroup array instead of a tempunitgroup?
3. youre spammin 35 special effects
4. the trigger itself looks ugly (that doesnt mean anything about the triggering but it looks VERY unprofessional....and beside that....the triggering here is bad....sorry to say.)
