Need help for this spell <GUI>

[elm0]

I want to make a laser spell explode on the target point. I've been working on this for hours, but I can't figure out how. I can't offset the laser dummy's points (laser path) because it won't always be accurate. Can someone please help?

Please post the triggers so we can help. Also please explain the exact problem.

I don't have the trigger because I don't know how to start it. Okay, so the range of the spell is 1800. It's an AoE spell that explodes when the laser reaches the targeted point. If I create a laser dummy and offset some points for the laser path,for example 3 points which are 600 units apart, it won't always be accurate because if the spell was targeted in less than 1800 range, let's say 1200, then the laser would go beyond the target point since it's path was offset by 600 each which sums to 1800. I'm sorry if this is hard to understand.

Could you provide some type of drawing so I can better understand what you are trying to achieve ?

Also if you are asking for help making a spell this is the wrong forum. I will ask a mod to move this.

It would be better if you could see it for yourself. The spell I'm trying to make is the same as the spell in the attached file, but it's in Jass and I know nothing about it, so I just copied the imported files and tried to make it in GUI. Should've started with this sorry.

Post the triggers then. I cannot download the file.
