I'm trying to make a certain ability that would basically cause random aoe spells to pop within a certian range of the caster. (Let's say 500 to clarify)
The idea behind it goes as such:
Caster begins channeling the spell.
The trigger then creates 1 dummy in a random point that is also within 500 range of the caster. (this way the dummy won't be dropped on the other side of the map from the caster)
The dummy then uses his instant aoe spell effecting anyone within range and is then removed.
This keeps going until the channeling ends. (that doesn't have to have a specific trigger to it, I can just keep track by waiting actions and channel times)
My only real problem with doing this is making the trigger recognize this area of 500 around the caster and being able to drop units at random points within this area. None of the trigger options I've seen seem to be working and the rest seem to be fixed point based so they won't change positions with the caster.
I'd really like to be able to pull this ability off. Does anyone know what I might be doing wrong and how I can fix it or if there's another way of going about this?

Big Dub said:Easy.
For each (Integer A) from 1 to 10, do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at ((Position of (Casting unit)) offset by (Random real number between 0.00 and 500.00) towards (Random angle) degrees) facing Default building facing degrees
