[Spell] Simple Custom Spell Problem ( I Hope )

[UnknownDream]

I made a spell based off of thunder clap, and the idea is that it calls down lightning bolts to strike all enemies within a certain range of the caster.

here's my trigger:

Bolt Strike
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Bolt Strike
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 50.00 of (Position of (Casting unit)) matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Player 11 (Dark Green))) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set tempPoint[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Special Effect - Create a special effect at tempPoint[1] using Doodads\Cinematic\Lightningbolt\Lightningbolt.mdl
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint[1])

Anybody have ideas how to get this to work? It probably has something to do with the "tempPoint", not sure if that works with multiples. Even then, though, wouldnt I see at least 1 lightning bolt? I dont see anything currently!

Thanks in advance

Use Event - Starts the effect of an ability

Do not use Begins casting an ability, it could be bug (depends on the situation), but in yours, it's better to use what I stated at the above

50 is such a small radius and your condition for matching unit is wrong, it should be

• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Triggering player)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions

It's under Boolean Comparison - Unit - Unit Belongs To An Enemy Of Player

Also, you leak Unit Group, follow what I gave, then the leak is cleaned

For the Point leak, I'm lazy

Awesome, sweet. Thanks to you and someone else I was able to work out the kinks, I think.

The spell is kind of quiet, though. I remember hearing a lightning type sound somewhere ingame, I'm off to locate it now.

Also, is there a way to turn off the "ground rolling" effect when casting thunder clap? doesnt really fit with my spells theme.

Thanks for all the help.

Then, don't use Thunder Clap as your base ability, use Channel instead.
Find it in Object Editor

This ability is exclusively for triggered spells (it does nothing actually), but with a trigger, you can do lot more than that
