My guy kills himself....

That's because he damages every unit in the area, including himself. You would need to put every unit within range into a unit group, then pick every unit in the group, and if they are an enemy of the caster, then damage the unit.

It's because your damaging an area. It hits everyone including yourself

You have to...

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bladestorm
  • Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set tmpGroup = (Units within 512.00 of (tempPoint) matching ((Owner of (Matching unit)) Equal to Neutral Hostile))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tmpGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
    • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint )
    • Custom Script: call DestroyGroup ( udg_tmpGroup )

Leaky version. But same result.

Of course, you have to read carefully what Grags says. If you don't understand that, I'm afraid you'd better stop map editing

Trigger:

Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Region centered at (Position of (Triggering unit)) with size (300.00, 300.00)) owned by Neutral Hostile) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 1000000.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal



Still kills himeself.....

You're probably missing the condition that is in that unit group (owned by Neutral Hostile)

You could actually change that condition to an Enemy of casting unit.

Picking every unit in the region will not exclude your cster; thus, he damages and kills himself. I don't have the editor now, but I believe it goes something like this: Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 500.00 of (Position of (Casting Unit)) matching (Matching Unit belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting Unit)) equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to deal 500 damage of type Spells and damage type Normal)

That's exactly what I did.

If it's not a Neutral Hostile unit, it won't get damaged. :/

 

[GFreak45]

just a heads up those triggers are leaking unit groups and those are one of the biggest leaks : (

I'm sorry, don't mean to flame, but I'm just honest

 

[GFreak45]

honesty and flaming are totally different, flaming is an insult and deconstructive, honesty just the truth, but not necissarily constructive or deconstructive, if you want to be honest and not flame word it different, ie: if this is too hard for you start with more basic triggers, or maybe try a different part of map making... not, if you cant get that just stop all together you suck

its ok though, everyone does it once in a while : /
