Random Spell Cast - Help

[Bloodspine]

I need a spell that when cast, it will cast a random spell from a list.
For example: A unit casts "Elemental Attack" on another unit. The spell has 25% chance to cast a lightning (damage the unit), 25% chance to deal damage over time to that unit, 25% chance to slow the unit, and 25% chance to stun the unit ( just one at a time). I hope you understood my problem, sorry for my English.

You will have to create an ability array containing the 4 different possible abilities.

then you just use: integer - random integer to select a random entry in the array.

Make a randomize trigger.
It is something like
For each integer 1-4 do actions
If/then/else
Number is 1
then
Do your actions
else
if/then/else
if number is 2
then do actions
else.

And so on.
Sorry for not remembering triggers excact name, but sometimes Maker or Pharaoh comes by, and they'll show you
There is a solution.

Ok, let's see
First, you need to set an array with the 4 abilities' strings/Order Id's. To find the Order Id of an ability, go to the ability and scroll to Text - Order String - Use/Turn on. So, the "Ability[]" variable is a String-type variable.
We will use a custom script for saving time.

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Ability[1] = chainglightning
  • Set Ability[2] = shadowstrike
  • Set Ability[3] = cripple
  • Set Ability[4] = thunderbolt

As you can see, I used Chain Lightning, Shadow Strike, Cripple and Storm Bolt.

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Elemental Attack
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
  • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Point1 facing default building degrees
  • Unit - Add 2.00 seconds generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Set RandomInteger = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
  • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrder (GetLastCreatedUnit(), udg_Ability[udg_RandomInteger], GetSpellTargetUnit())
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

Notice, the dummy must already have the abilities for this trigger to work in this state.
