Help to make an in-front of AoE spell! :D

[aider]

Hello!
Im currently adding a rogue hero to my AD: Defense of the World Pillar map. The rogue will only have 100 mana with a vast mana regeneration (like in WoW). So I want to have this simple damage ability the players of this hero can spam to use their mana.

So I want the spell to damage enemies in a small AoE infront of the hero, instantly! (No target location). It will cost 20 mana so it will be spammed quite often. It will be the main damage source of the hero.

I havent found any spell like it that I can modify so I probably have to make something in GUI. I wanted to ask here before I start failing, as I have little experience in GUI-spellmaking. I probably need angles, math, coordinates and that stuff

Thanks!

Set UnitGroup = Units within 100 range of Position of Triggering Unit offset by 100 Matching Condition: matching unit belongs to an enemy of owner of triggering unit.
Actions Actions
call DestroyGroup (udg_UnitGroup)

keychup : that would be AROUND the caster....

aider : make a point X range away in front of the caster (angle is facing of the caster) and then pick every enemy unit around this point and deal X damage to it.

Oh no, no, no. it's a polar offset.

• Set UnitGroup = (Units within 100.00 of ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 100.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True))
