  • Set TOI_M = (TOI_M + 1)
You need to remove that line. You increase TOI_M along with TOI_C. TOI_C is your main indexing variable, while TOI_M is the subordinate variable.

TOI_M will receive the value of TOI_C, upon the indexing loop (For each (Integer TOI_C) from 1 to TOI_M).

Finally, you have an error; seemingly, your main indexing variable is TOI_C (you add it in the indexing of the rest variables, e.g. TOI_Orb[TOI_C] = (Last created unit)), but, in the "loading" trigger, the "Thunder Orb Loop", you render it the subordinate variable.
So, your loop in the second variable should be:
  • For each (Integer TOI_M) from 1 to TOI_C, do (Actions)
If you make the change I described above, make sure you remove the Set TOI_M = (TOI_M + 1) action too.

And by the way your position leaks. :)

Set Caster=(Position of (Triggering Unit))

And by the way, while using triggers as these please refer to Triggering Unit because it reduces memory usage.
