Lightings Removal??

[.KyTe]

I was constructing a swap spell of vengeful spirit but i dunno how to remove or destroy the lighting effect. If i try to remove it using DestroyLighting it instantly remove it without manifesting the lighting effect. Can someone help me Pls?

just make a timer and trigger when timer runs out
and then you can remove the lightning..... buuut you have to store the lightning in a variable.

You need to save it to a variable and remove it after a short wait/timer.

Since you probably want the spell to be MUI, you should use a buffering system.

Here's a good tutorial: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/mui-triggers-waits-218354/
And another: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...279/mui-spells-using-artificial-waits-223315/

EDIT: Some triggers I made for a spell:

Triggers

• Protect Pass Damage
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set tempLoc1 = (Position of Unit1)
    • Set tempLoc2 = (Position of Unit2)
    • Lightning - Create a Spirit Link lightning effect from source tempLoc1 to target tempLoc2
    • Lightning - Change color of (Last created lightning effect) to (1.00 1.00 1.00) with 0.50 alpha
    • Set stl_WriteId = (stl_WriteId + 1)
    • Set stl_Lightning[stl_WriteId] = (Last created lightning effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempLoc2)
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Trigger - Run Destroy Timed Lightnings <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Destroy Timed Lightnings
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set stl_ReadId = (stl_ReadId + 1)
    • Lightning - Destroy stl_Lightning[stl_ReadId]
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • stl_ReadId Equal to stl_WriteId
      • Then - Actions
        • Set stl_ReadId = 0
        • Set stl_WriteId = 0
      • Else - Actions

If you find it hard to handle the Lightning, you can use my Lightning Handling system in my Signature.

oh im really sorry for being incomplete im using vjass ^_^ but because im just starting i dont really know how.

Better fade the lightning out, reducing its alpha constantly.

Do you still want to use vJASS ?
I'm just trying to help you construct this spell in GUI, here's the test map.

if you want vJASS you can use my Lightning system or Maker's Lightning system, both can be found in the spells section... I'd suggest Maker's as that is an already approved resource...
