[Trigger] Multiple Targets Chain Lightning

[terradont]

Ok, i tried to make a non-target chain lightning which fires chain lightning at all nearby enemy units. The problem is it only shoots one.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Overload
• Actions
  • Set Overload_Temp_point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 800.00 of Overload_Temp_point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Overload_Temp_point facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Add Focused Lightning to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Focused Lightning for (Last created unit) to (Level of Focused Lightning () for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Overload_Temp_point)

1) Shouldn't

• Unit - Set level of Focused Lightning for (Last created unit) to (Level of Focused Lightning () for (Triggering unit))

be

• Unit - Set level of Focused Lightning for (Last created unit) to (Level of Overload for (Triggering unit))

?
2) You remove the location in the loop, so the unit will be spawned at the middle of the map (coords 0|0) and should be out of range... just put it at the end instead of in the loop

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Overload
• Actions
  • Set Overload_Temp_point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 800.00 of Overload_Temp_point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Overload_Temp_point facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Add Focused Lightning to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Focused Lightning for (Last created unit) to (Level of Focused Lightning () for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Overload_Temp_point)

You can DL my spellpack and look at the "nether chains" its pretty much what you are looking for, just remove wait action.

1: No, there are to separate spells my hero have. The first is Focused Lightning(chain lightning) The second is Overload, the ultimate, which uses the damage from Focused Lightning.

2: Ah! I can't believe i was so stupid!


Thanks guys!

The way it was the trigger would probably stop too, as the second execution of the loop would call RemoveLocation with a null value.

...Just to let you know xD

I think that it casts several times but with one starting and ending locations.
Try this.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Overload
• Actions
  • Custom script: local location p=(Position of (Triggering unit))
  • Custom script: local location p2
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 800.00 of p matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering Player)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Custom script: set p2=(Position of (GetEnumUnit())
      • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at p2 facing Default building facing degrees
      • Unit - Add Focused Lightning to (Last created unit)
      • Unit - Set level of Focused Lightning for (Last created unit) to (Level of Focused Lightning () for (Triggering unit))
      • Unit Group - Order (Last created unit group) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Picked unit)
      • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(p)
  • Custom script: set p=null
  • Custom script: set p2=null

Way past wrong.
