Need some advice on 2 spells.

[Keiga]

Hi, I am trying to make a wave spell that pushes knocks units back, how would I do this, someone told me you don't even need triggers for it, I can't seem to find the right ability to do it tho.

Also I am trying to make a spell that is like the locust swarm, but it only summons one each time you do it and adds to them, and has a maximum of 5, and when they summon over 5 one dies, how would I do this where they get added?

i just found out a way to do all of that in less actions.
Here it is:
***YOU ONLY NEED 2 VARIABLES, ONE UNIT VARIABLE AND ONE REAL VARIABLE***

f All Conditions Are True do Then Actions …
If Conditions-
If MyRalVariable is equal to 0
Then Actions-
-Remove MyVariableA from the game
Else Actions-
-create 1 dummy unit for owner of triggering unit position of triggering unit
-Set MyVariablea = (last created unit)
-issue MyVariable to Undead Crypt Lord-Locust Swarm *give the dummy unit a spell based on locust swarm. change it so it only summons 1 locust.*
-Set MyRealVariable - 1

Thanks starcraft, I can't use that Tsunami spell because I wanted to change some stuff to it and I don't know how to use that code. I am trying to make a shockwave that pushes units back, I think I know how to do the push back, but how do I make it so that all the units hit by the wave get pushed back, right now I can only do the target of the shockwave.

 

[iplaystarcraft]

(im to sure if this will work) creat a dummy unit ,with permenatnt immolation, that moves to target point and have a trigger that activates when a unit gets a certain buff (the custom immolation buff) then do the push back

oh btw did the locust thing work?

So it isn't possible to tell if any unit is hit by the shockwave and not the target?

 

[iplaystarcraft]

unless it has a buff, no i dont think so
