[Spell] Triple Lightning

[Aeroblyctos]

Hello.

I'm not sure how to do this.

Casts a powerful thunder from the sky that damages and stuns the target for 2 seconds. The lightning also spreads to 2 nearby enemies with half effect.

I don't know how to pick 2 random units within 300 range but the targets aren't the same.

Can you help? Rep for the helper.

Store the target in a Variable
Check amount of units in 300 range of enemy.
if 1 get rnd unit in range and check if they are you first target if so, do it again
Store this unit in a variable
Repeat

I didn't quite get it. Can you make an example?

I tried to do something like that but it didn't work.

something like this?

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in CrocGroup[0] and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Picked unit) is in CrocGroup[1]) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Cause Croc[0] to damage (Picked unit), dealing CrocReal[0] damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
        • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to CrocGroup[1]
      • Else - Actions
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_CrocGroup[0])

Hey.

I'm a bit late I had a lan party and now I've finally returned from my epic journey.

So... I made a test map where I tried to do this. I didn't succeed so can someone here help me a little bit and make it to work. Thanks.

This is just a template so I just need these things: when player clicks a unit the unit plus two random other units are damaged. Of course if there are less units less will be effected. I don't want that same unit to be damaged multiple times.

you could create a flying dummy unit high up in the sky to cast a fork lightning/chain lightning/both on the units below it

1 fork lightning with 1 target and 50% dmg and one with 3 targets and 50% damage
cast both on target unit

Yea but the damage is triggered with a long and complicated formula. That way the ability would need... 1 to ... 30,000 levels. So no way.

you can make a long and complicated formula but you can't make some lightning and damage?

 

[Aeroblyctos]

Can you?

 

[Narogog]

you could do this
local lighting udg_SomeLightning1
local lighting udg_SomeLightning2
set a unit group
set a random unit from said unit group
remove random unit from unit group
set another random unit
{
use custom script to create the lightning(so you can set z Height)
save the lightning
} do this twice
destroy the unit group
wait 2 seconds
then destroy the created lightning effects

I tried something like that but it didn't work... Can you try that? The map is attached to my third post.

No need to worry about effects. I just want the target + 2 random units to be effected.

 

[Narogog]

well, here it is.
View attachment TRIPLE LIGHTNING.w3x
it effects 2 other units, besides the caster.

Excellent job. And now I understand how this works and I can use this trigger in the future for more things.

Thank you so much for the help. +rep & credits added
