[Trigger] Special Effects between points

[Foopad]

How do I make a special effect between 2 points?
Lets say I want a dummy unit to be moved every 0.04 second, I am going to make it cast a firebolt at a nearby unit - How do I create this effect. Do I need to do it manually by adding the spell and ordering it to be cast or can it be done some other way?

• Effect Between Points
  • Events
    • Time - timer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Location = (Position of EffectUnit)
    • Set LocationPolOffset = (Location offset by displacement towards angle degrees)
    • Unit - Move EffectUnit instantly to LocationPolOffset
    • Set MaxDist = (MaxDist - displacement)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • MaxDist Less than or equal to 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Countdown Timer - Pause timer
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Location)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LocationPolOffset)

Variables:

angle (Real)
displacement (Real)
EffectUnit (Unit)
Location (Point)
LocationPolOffset (Point)
MaxDist (Real)
timer (Timer)

of course you have to set this variables somewhere in another trigger and also start a repaeting timer that expires in tt.tt seconds.
