[Trigger] Rework of Classic Wc3 Powers

[MrFrichyBoy]

Is it possible to make the Entangling Roots power behave like the Chain Lightning power? I want the Entangling Roots power to work normally, but where it jumps from enemy to enemy like the Chain Lightning power does. The screenshot down below is my attempt at this concept. It looks how I want it to, but it doesn't currently immobilize the enemies or slowly damage them.

For the second power, I want to enhance the current Storm Hammer power by making it so the Hammer on contact pushes the target quite a distance over terrain with different heights.

I want both of these to be new powers that don't break the old versions of the Hero Abilities. Are either of these ideas possible and how do I go about creating these powers?
Thank you to all who attempt to help

There is a dirty way of doing this with a dummy unit (like always).
Just use a dummy unit to cast the chain lightning, then check with a damage engine (or damage event when on a newer patch) when said unit is dealing damage and make a second dummy unit cast entangling roots on the targets.
Dummies generally need the following object editor attributes:

• Art - Animation - Cast Backswing = 0
• Art - Animation - Cast Point = 0
• Movement - Speed = 0
• Movement - Type = Fly/none

so they can cast and turn instantly

If you look in the Resources section you will find a few ‘chain spell’ systems/templates you might be able to use, and a general forum search will return numerous threads asking how to make such spells. This is a relatively common thing people want to do, so the information is out there.
