Some thing(s) wrong with my spell

[Morrow's Grief]

I'm trying to get a spell to create a spell that creates a dummy unit in the center, and then shoots out bolts(some Finger of Deaths) that create dummy units that shoot out bolts that create more dummy units that shoot out MORE bolts, etc. At the moment the spell effect does not end, and does no damage.

First off, you don't need three triggers for a spell like that, but each person likes to do things differently.

Looking through, you have nothing in your trigger sequence that says anything about damage.

And to get rid of the effects, you have to create a trigger, or add some sort of timer to destroy each of those lightning effects. There may be a way to destroy all of them in a certain region, but I'm not sure.

Instead of using Caster, use Triggering unit, unless you want the region centered on the Dummy Unit (which it might be doing) then nevermind.

Hope that helps...

Caster IS triggering unit and Casting Unit... I tried both, neither works. And damaghe isn't a problem, neither is destroying the effects, espeacially since the effects don't exist...

You said the problem was the Spell Effect does not end (thought that meant special effects, sorry) and does no damage.

Are there other problems?

No, I was saying it's not supposed to because it's not finished with those areas. The problem I'm having is that the speacial effects never come up, and I doubt the damage or dummy unit would either.
