[Hemske]

What sort of variable should i use for this trigger?

• Events
  • Lightning Strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rune of Lightning Strike
  • Actions
    • Set LightningTaunt_Target = (Casting unit)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 400.00 of (Position of LightningTaunt_Target)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
            • ((Owner of (Picked unit)) is an enemy of (Owner of LightningTaunt_Target)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • [COLOR="Red"]----->[/COLOR]Set Variable = (Picked unit)[COLOR="Red"]<-----[/COLOR]
              • Set Lightning_Damage = ((Intelligence of LightningTaunt_Target (Include bonuses)) x (Level of Rune of Lightning Strike for LightningTaunt_Target))
              • Unit - Cause LightningTaunt_Target to damage (Picked unit), dealing (Real(Lightning_Damage)) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
              • Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl
              • Trigger - Turn on Lightning Strike Taunt <gen>[COLOR="Yellow"]This one is for a trigger that orders the picked units to attack the caster, but if i use the variable that i set earlier in the trigger only one of the units the spell damages attacks me[/COLOR]
          • Else - Actions
            • Do nothing

What sort of variable should i use? Unit/unit group/something else?

The first unit group leaks,
use

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

In the very start of the trigger.

Also, add a condition that says

• ((Picked unit) Is Alive) Equal to True

Else it may targets dead units as well.

For the variable, you can do it the easy way, like this:

• Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit) to (Lightning_Targets)

and then pick every unit in Lightning_Targets in the next trigger.


Should work. If not, post the 2nd trigger as well so I can look into that!

edit: also don't forget to use

• Unit Group - Remove all units from (Lightning_Targets)

when you're done with the second trigger.

edit 2:
After

• Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl

Use

• Special Effect - Destroy (Last Created special effect)

this will make the effect run the animation 1 time, and then it gets removed.

You leak points too, to fix it:

• Set TempPoint = Position of (Casting Unit)
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units withing 400.00 of (TempPoint) and do (Actions)
• Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

• set TempPoint2 = Position of (Picked Unit)
• Special Effect - Create a special effect at (TempPoint2) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl
• Special Effect - Destroy (Last Created special effect)
• Custom Script - call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)

Then, in the end of the trigger

Add the picked unit to a unit group to use it the second trigger.
Also you have leaks in the trigger.
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 400.00 of (Position of LightningTaunt_Target)) and do (Actions) - point leak

Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Picked unit)) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl - another point leak

Also you didn't destroy the specil effect which also leaks.
