I could crash if leaving map bounds.

Also, you should never have a "pick every unit" inside another "pick every unit".

fixed, and it seems that the crash didn't occur anymore. but the siphon is now only cast to one unit (so the lightning only goes to one unit).

i will try to reproduce the crash.

EDIT : don't answer to my thread ever again ! just kidding :p
most helpful person ever :p

I have created many spells with "pick every unit" inside another "pick every unit", (Collision missle AOE damage), and it never crashed or not working. So I dont think that's the problem.

maybe the difference from mine and yours is that mine use 3 times picking (unit pick every unit, then pick every unit, then pick every unit again).

^ Haha. No. I used Unit Indexer to handle that. Like this:
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in DummyGroup and do Actions
    • Set CV = (Custom value of Picked Unit)
    • Set Dummy[CV] = (Picked Unit)
Doing that will prevent any kind of overwritten to the Picked Unit (I think so).
