Lightning Strike AoE

[GreeN!X]

Hey guys, I'm kinda having problems with my spell.. It's supposed to create a lightning bolt to hit a targeted point. units nearby that area is damaged based on the caster's intelligence. But when I tested this in my map, there are times when it doesn't do any damage but still shows the floating texts.. I just have no idea why this is happening..

Oh and, I noticed that this doesn't make the teleportation really random.. at the start, all entering units exit at the same place.. so is it possible to make it more random?

I think you should set Skill_Yozshura_LS_Real2 into this :


= (Level of Lightning Strike for Triggering unit X 50 + 25) + Skill_Yozshura_LS_Real
.
.
.
.
.
and remove the If , Then , Else action . . . .

Unit - Cause source to damage...

Is source a variable and where do you set it?

I made my own opinion of a teleport exiting thing because I was too tired to explain it to you.

Add nulling custom script.
Ex: set udg_Point = null
