is anything wrong with this trigger ???
the lightning dosent fallow the target when cast on it if the target moves the lightning looks like its hitting the ground.

Use the [trigger] tag to show the triggers properly.

How to easily post triggers

Because you store 0.05 initially and after one iteration you reduce it by 3 which puts it under 0 which destroys it?

 

[Tasyen]

You save 0.05 as time but reduce it with 3 so the lightning should only be visible for 0.2 to 0.4 seconds.

To make a fluid following you should use an frequenzy of 20 times a second (0.05) or more, most time 32 times a second is suggested (0.03125).

hitting the ground

Your lightning does not have an flying height, which the gui actions do not support. this tutorial explains how to make lightnings with proper z offset:
