how do they do those?? like dota(mealstorm, mjlonir)

Maybe you should trigger it so if a unit attacks, pick a random number 1-5. If 1 cast chainl lightning on target. If two, cats eruption on target. You would probably put a dude behind teh scenes with the spell and infinite mana, pimped mana regain, and version sof the spells with no cooldown. Thats how I would do it, Im not sure about the professional way though.

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
(Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 15
Then - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at (Position of (Attacking unit)) facing (Facing of (Attacked unit)) degrees
Unit - Add a 1.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Unit - Add Chain Lightning to (Last created unit)
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Attacked unit)
Else - Actions
Do nothing

For you

Change no item for your item, chain lightning by your spell and you can add variable for multiinstansibility.

In dota maelstorm and etc. are non-triggered items.
You should use orbs..

hmmm... the dummy unit is a locust rite?? the original unit is Zone Indicator??

ya orbs also do the trick (especially with lightning effects) but olny problem is i don't know how to make them autocast a spell... for that matter i don't know how to make spell that aren't automatically autocast into autocast. o well
