[General] [Newb question] Creating units at point of spell being cast

[CheesePizza]

This is what I am trying to do:
- Inferno spell creates 1 footman
- After 1 second delay, 4 more footman spawn at the location of the spell target point. (The animation of the inferno raining down from the sky is about 1 sec, so I am trying to align the 4 footman spawn with the 1 footman inferno created)

My issue is, this trigger doesn't work and the 4 foots gets created in the middle of the map. If i remove wait 1 seconds the trigger works. But at the cost of ruining the timing of the unit spawns.

I thought of creating a point variable "SpawnPoint" to remember the spawn point and create the units after 1 seconds. But this won't work since the single variable would be used by 12 players, and if another player uses the spell within the 1 second wait time, the variable would get rewritten.

The issues is shown here Event Response Myths:

Target Point of Ability Being Cast: Works, but Unable to use after any wait

You might solve it with:

• MUI Spells Using Artificial Waits
  or
  
• local udg_

You can also use the two counter trick to make this MUI.

• Set Count1 = Count1 + 1
• Set CastPoint[Count1] = (Target point of ability being cast)
• Wait 4.00 seconds
• Set Count2 = Count2 + 1
• Unit - Create 4 footmen ... at CastPoint[Count2] ...
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_CastPoint[udg_Count2])
• If (Conditions) then (actions) else (actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • Count1 equal to Count2
• Then - Actions
  • Set Count1 = 0
  • Set Count2 = 0
• Else - Actions

Don’t use Begins Casting, which fires before cooldown and mana cost are applied. Use Starts the Effect instead.
