Hello guys! I have a problem with a trigger. It's a spell. Supposed to be a "grip-style" spell. I based it of the "Chain Lightning" spell, so that I would get the "Chain Lightning" chain special effect directly in the object editor. Everything works. The spell is supposed to move the unit to a given point, which I will edit later. (Not what I need help with). However, I try to add a range condition which will disable use of the spell when the units are too close. I used 300, in range. There is a problem with this:

The units will still move. The only thing that happens is that they do not generate the "Chain Lightning" chain effect.

Another problem:

When I add the Far Seer missile effect to his hands, they will not be removed when I run the "Destroy Special effect <VariableHere> [Player number(Owner of casting unit)))]

What do I have to do to fix problem one? And how do I make the special effects to his hands go away when he casts the grip spell?
