Electric Discharge:
The Engineer puts on a battery which can store electricity, electricity has a chance to be produced when the engineer is hit, More electricity is produced the higher level this ability is. The Engineer can discharge this electricity to hurl a chain lightning at target enemies, this ability bounces more and damages more the more electricity it has charged up.

      • Else - Actions

So, the dummy unit spawns, but he doesnt cast the spell for some reason, I've checked over my triggers, checked if the ability costs mana/CD/range, it all works as far as I have checked, but he still doesnt cast my spell >.<

Any clue what could be wrong here?

Hmm.. try replacing "finishes casting.." with "starts the effect.."
And you could shorten this triggers in a few lines.

Edit: you are missing this Some_number_variable Equal to 3
And you are leaking special effect and location.

 

[TheBlooddancer]

Remove the 'Do Nothing's.

Your shitting me lol, that actually worked.

How on earth, my trigger did fire, since my dummy unit spawned, but how could it be fixed by just changing that?

A million thanks for the help though=)

(Yeah I know of the "Do nothings", but it helps tidy up my triggers, and its not for battle net, so am not afraid of the extra lag=)

 

[-Berz-]

Hehe NP man =)
And make sure that you clean the leaks.

• actions
  • set Electric_Target = (Target Unit of Ability being Cast)
  • for each Integer A from 1 to 10
    • loop actions
      • if (Integer A equal to Some_Number)
      • then (Do your actions)
        • set level of Chain Lightning for (last created unit) to Integer A

That should be it,,
