AoE spell trigger

[kiogra]

Hey, ive been making a game for a long time now but ive gotten stuck on something..
I need a trigger that damages a random point.
Ill show what i would like the trigger to be like, also showing where i need help with the trigger.

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.50 seconds of game time
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at (Random point in Region 184 <gen>) using (spell Effect)
    • Wait 3.00 seconds
    • Special Effect - Create a special Effect at (Here's a part where i need, i need this special Effect to happen where the first special Effect happened, how?) using (spell effect)
    • Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at (Target point of Ability being cast), dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Now i also need alot of help with this one

• Unit - Cause (Triggering Unit) to damage circular area after 0.00 seconds of radius 100.00 at (Target point of Ability being cast), dealing 350.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

I probably have to use a different trigger for this, not sure, but I want to make the trigger damage people still in the area that had the random effects. I just need to know how to make it work and go to the right place.


Sorry if this post is a little hard to understand... not easy to explain the problem :banghead:

Region 184

Holy shit.... 184 regions. I rarely have at most 5 regions in any of my maps

(Here's a part where i need, i need this special Effect to happen where the first special Effect happened, how?)

Store the first special effect in a variable then reference it there.

Target point of Ability being cast

Not sure what your asking... but if i understood right i think that will work.

Use a buff to check the damage part.

as simple as this. If you want the spell MUI then you should set TempPoint as local variable

Oh, i forgot to say.. This trigger would keep happening every 1.5 seconds. hopfuly that doesnt change anything?

EDIT: Ahg im confused today.. I mean the trigger would happen every 1.5 seconds. And it would turn on once the unit goes into combat
