Trigger to attack random enemy units in range

[Silverman]

i want to summon a not-moving (ward) unit, that randomly attacks enemies in its range (400). so it does not wait till a unit is dead or out of range till it changes its target. well i made it that it changes targets, but the problem is, it also attacks my own units!!

• Storm
  • Event
    • Unit - A unit creates a Summoned Unit
  • Conditions
    • ((Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to Storm)
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 50, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Summoned unit) to Attack (Random unit from (Units within 400.00 of (Position of (Summoned unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Summoned unit))) Equal to True)))
        • Wait 0.30 seconds

hope i translated everything right (not english editor-version)
dont know where the mistake is; or is there any other way to trigger that?

ty for help

You could just make a ward and give it the Phoenix Fire ability...and choose whatever missile effect you want.

No scripting needed...

To answer your question, you should try adding the target and summoned unit into variables, although what pixelninja suggested is much better and easier.

first i have done it with phoenix fire; but i wanted to have a lightning-effect as projectile, and that didnt work with phoenix fire.

i had solved my problem by giving it the chain-lightning ability and now it doesnt attack, but cast chain lightning. this worked, without my own units being targeted; but ty, i will try and change it, cause then my storm can also attack magic-immune units.
