Making a spell cast at a random point within a 500 radius of caster

[Rabid.Ocelot]

Basically, like the title says, I wanna create a dummy unit within a 500 foot radius that can be cast with something like thunder clap and doesnt need a point. I know how to do the dummy and all that, just need to know how to create the random placed unit.

500 foot.... Is how many WC3 units?

Anyway, you are after using the random integer or real functions which are passed 2 numbers of the corrosponding type and return a random number of the corrosponding type between those two. Combine that with simple arthimetic (for square area) or trig (for circlular area) and you have your formula.

(Random real number between 0.00 and 500.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)
- That's the key.
