I've played Twilight's Eve a LOT (plenty of max-level heroes, mostly in the mage-tree), yet I have no idea what the spell names are .
So yeah, explain the spell.

You can base it on any instant skill and then triggered it.
The trigger is relatively simple: pick all units within an area, create a special effect (monsoon model) and deal damage. At least, that's the most simple way to do it ^^.
You can do it with lightning as well (more customization, but it would make things more complicated).
It would look somewhat like this (with special effect):
Thunder
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder
Actions
Set TempLoc1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of TempLoc1) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Set TempLoc2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempLoc2 using Abilities\Spells\Other\Monsoon\MonsoonBoltTarget.mdl
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
No, it isn't . I was wondering about monsoon too, but it's an instant-cast in Twilight's Eve, so that's no good.
I checked the map itself and found that it was indeed triggered (they use Thunder Clap as a base, but I wouldn't recommend that).

I hate to bother you again, you're probably a very busy guy
But I have a few more questions.
After doing some work on a totally awesome spell,
I found out I had made quite a few big mistakes. So I scrapped it.
That brings me back to the example spell you provided. I started working with that instead,
and I've come to this.
JUD Run
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Judgement
Actions
Set JUD_CasterInt = (JUD_CasterInt + 1)
Set JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt] = (Triggering unit)
Set JUD_TempLoc1[JUD_CasterInt] = (Position of JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt])
Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of JUD_TempLoc1[JUD_CasterInt]) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
If - Conditions
((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt])) Equal to True
Then - Actions
Set JUD_TempLoc2[JUD_CasterInt] = (Position of (Picked unit))
Special Effect - Create a special effect at JUD_TempLoc2[JUD_CasterInt] using war3mapImported\PurgeBuffTargetYellow.mdx
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Special Effect - Create a special effect at JUD_TempLoc2[JUD_CasterInt] using war3mapImported\LightningboltYellow.mdx
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
Unit - Cause JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt] to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((450.00 x (Real((Level of Judgement for JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt])))) + (2.50 x (Real((Intelligence of JUD_Caster[JUD_CasterInt] (Include bonuses)))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
1.) Going back to your post, which instant-type spell WOULD you recommend?
I figured I would use War Stomp, because the caster will be emitting a war-stomp effect anyway.
2.) I'm not entirely sure if this works with the array thing I have goin' on(;
I've never seen this one before, although I haven't really looked into fixing leaks very much.
Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
3.) The spell IS MUI, right? Or am I missing something?
4.) Did I remove the location leaks correctly? I'm fairly sure that's the way to do it,
but like I said before, I haven't really looked into learning all about leaks.
Although I need to, and plan to sometime soon.
1) The reason I don't like War Stomp, is because it creates a terrain deformation (or was that only Thunder Clap? I think War Stomp did the same). Those things leak a little (no fix).
I suggest the spell I would always suggest: Channel (under Neutral Hostile\Heroes).
2) That's a perfectly acceptable way to remove the group leak .
3) Instant spells are always MUI.
This means that the entire indexing thing you've done here is useless. I suggest you remove all those arrays and just keep it standard .
For these kinds of spells, I always use "Temp" vars, like "TempLoc1", "TempLoc2", "TempUnit" and so on. That is so I don't have to create any new variables for the spell.
4) Yep, that's correct (though, again: I'd prefer it without the arrays).
Oh my gosh haha. Alright that clears it all up. Except.. When I enable the function,
I get an error stating "expected a name" on the last two custom scripts.
I'm assuming it has something to do with the arrays?
PS: I was making the same mistake when I first met (it was love from first sight ) arrays inside custom script
PS2: Just extra info: udg stands for User Defined Global
local variables have no prefix so it is searching for a local variable but one does not exist...
