Problem
-Pulses never end
-Lightning doesnt show
-Group Pick doesnt work
-Stun doesnt work
-doesnt pick units with the ability kp lightning

I really need your help

 
  • For each (Integer KP_I) from 1 to KP_UHandle, do (Actions)
That is why your lightning is never appearing - you don't load the correct integer to go "to" since you just go to the ID number of the unit as opposed to a saved value for how many lightning effects are attached to it
i forgot about it thanks.
ill just try it out
But what about the unlimited pulses??

Maybe my test map could help you with something about handling Lightning and destroying them when necessary.

This is a spell request I did, and this is the information for the spell;

Effect: increase target's attack speed (+30%/+50%/+70%) and movement speed (+15%/+20%/+25%) but decrease caster's attack speed (-25%/-45%/-65%) and movement speed (-20%/-30%/-40%)
Additional:
- stop effect if distance between caster and target becomes more than 450
- caster can cancel the effect at any moment
- independ of ability's level, caster always casts lvl 1 effect
- caster can "charge" effect and increase effect level
- maximum of effect level by charges is ability's level

that looks like Wisp's Tether from DotA

Anyone can fix the unlimited pulses?

You are creating a Lightning once every 0.04 seconds, that's bad.

I said to look up my test map, I create 1 (ONE) Lightning per spell cast and that will save performance.

Once the Lightning has been created, you just need to move it by using MoveLightningEx (Custom script function too).

Also, if you use AddLightningEx function, that lightning created can't be referred as (Last created lightning).

You must set it via Variable (Custom script).

  • Custom script: udg_LightningVariable = AddLightingEx("NameOfLighting", true, x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2)
