=================================
So my issue is that when the Hateki Ends is triggered it destroys the lightnings but when two units get hit in the first action, only one group of 20 lightnings are destroyed. And the other will remain. It works fine with one unit only but when there are many it only destroys the other 20 lightnings. Pls help me. Sorry for my bad english

That is because your spell must be MUI, but currently it is not.
In your Hateki Cast, let's say this action picks two units:

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in Ab_Group[1] and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

You pick the first unit from unit group and create 20 lightning effects around it. You store those lightning effects in Lightning[ ] array under indices from 1 to 20.
Now you pick the second unit from the unit group and create another 20 lightning effects around it. But the issue is, that you store those lightning effects in Lightning[ ] array again under indices from 1 to 20 - so you effectively overwrote references to the 1st picked unit's lightning effects.

So when your Hateki End trigger attempts to destroy all lightning effects, it again destroys only those effects in Lightning[ ] array with indices from 1 to 20 - so only lightning from the second picked unit.

What you need to do is make the spell MUI - so you will need to store each target in a unit array under different index. The index of your lightning effects should then be calculated as "([index_of_target_unit] - 1) * 20 + n", where "n" is the number from 1 to 20.
So for example if an affected unit is stored in a unit array under index 4, then its lightning effects will be stored under indices "(4-1)*20 + n", so that would be indices 61-80.

You will need to understand dynamic indexing to make the spell MUI. Check this tutorial: Visualize: Dynamic Indexing
