[Trigger] Mass Banishment

[Leo Akastenix]

Basically the spell i was going for was an AOE banish.
So how i did it was based it off the Silence Spell.
The Dummy Unit uses the Neutral Hostile Banish as base.
And did the following triggers.

• Mass Banishment
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Mass Banishment Q
  • Actions
    • Set castingunit = (Casting unit)
    • Set point = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set aoe = (150 + (50 x (Level of Mass Banishment Q for castingunit)))
    • Set unitgroup = (Units within (Real(aoe)) of point matching ((((Matching unit) is Mechanical) Equal to False) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of castingunit)) Equal to True)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in unitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set point2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of castingunit) at point2 facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add Banish Dummy to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Banish Dummy for (Last created unit) to (Level of Mass Banishment Q for castingunit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Blood Mage - Banish (Picked unit)
        • Unit - Add a 30.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_unitgroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_point2)

But the spell does not trigger.

Have you tried with "A unit Starts the effect of an ability" instead ? Also, the RemoveLocation (udg_point2) should be inside the loop.

Some other things.

1) You don't need to create the Dummy multiple times. A properly setup Dummy unit can handle all of the spell casting on it's own.
2) You can reference Triggering Player instead of owner of casting unit.
3) You can use "Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true", saves you a line of code.
4) You can use an If Then Else to easily add more conditions to your target filter. This is just personal preference, I cannot stand using Matching + And.
5) Make sure your Dummy ability has 0 mana cost, 999999 cast range, 0 cast time, etc....
