[Trigger] Lightning Issues

[Smilz]

Probably a simple fix, I'm working with triggered abilities. Currently it encircles my hero lightning (chain lightning animation) and when it finishes spiraling, I've used about 16 different lightning creations. However, i can't figure out how to make ALL the lightning disappear at the end of the spell. It will only allow me to get rid of the last created one. I've tried stacking the destroy last created lightning effect trigger but it doesn't work... please help?

The object is to set each created lightning effect to its own variable so later you can destroy it after a wait.

function Actions takes nothing returns nothing
local lightning array Light
local integer I
loop
exitwhen I == 16
set I = I + 1
call AddLightningLoc( "CLPB", GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit()), GetRectCenter(GetPlayableMapRect()) )
set Light[I] = GetLastCreatedLightningBJ()
endloop
//later, after a wait possibly?
set I = 0
loop
exitwhen I == 16
set I = I + 1
call DestroyLightning(Light[I])
set Light[I] = null //there ya go =D
endloop
endfunction

I'll see if I can get something in GUI if you don't understand JASS.

I am sure that your code helps him but I think it's better to explain what it does because not everybody understands jass.

-> IncubiProtocoL uses an "lightning array" in which he stores all created lightnings.
Later he goes throught the array destroying every lightning stored in it.
(I only know gui but when using a loop there without any wait I think the lightnings will be destroyed immediatly. So we don't see them disappering they are just gone. )

Just save each lightning in a variable Like this:

Create lightning bblablbalba
set Lightning[1] = last created lightning
Create lightning bblablbalba
set Lightning[2] = last created lightning
Create lightning bblablbalba
set Lightning[3] = last created lightning
Wait 5 seconds.
Destroy Lightning[1]
Destroy Lightning[2]
Destroy Lightning[3]

Just to improve your general knowledge:
GUI are the 'world editor triggers' ^^
However, good luck.

i see in the function of IncubiProtocoL you forgot to nullify the lightning local
