Help with Jass Spell

[dudeim]

Well I just got into Jass, and i'm learning bit by bit, but now I dunno how to make this spell i've tried lots of ways but it always really bugs:banghead:...

Life Force:
The Hero Casts a wave of lightning upon a targeted unit then if there are any enemies of the caster in 500 range of the target the lightnings will send out to all of them ( not bouncing all at once) and dealing damage to the main target equal to "(number of units in 500 range of target + target) * Int of the caster ( so there are three units around the enemy it deals 4*int of caster to the target) and the damage dealt to the main target will be halved and be dealt to the secundary targets. Also if their are any friendly unit nearby their will be send a healing beam to them healing them for "Total dmg - Damage targets (explain some further in post).

Total dmg = Damage Targets ( the unit within 500 of main target + main target) * friendly units (so if there are 4 enemies (main target is counted in) and there are 2 friendly units nearby and the int of the caster is 50 then Total damage will be 50*4*2 = 400 Total dmg. Then the main target will get 200 dmg and the secundairy targets will get 100 dmg and friendly units will be healed by 200 in this case.)

If you have any questions just ask them i'll try to awnser them.
If anyone could help me with this i would really appreciate it and rep+.

Thanks

Generally speaking this isn't a place to request spells. If you post what you've got you're much more likely to get help. But because the idea intrigued me and I have a huge amount of time on my hands, here you go.

scope LifeForce initializer init

    globals
        private constant integer SPELLID = 'A000' //Spell Rawcode
        private constant integer RANGE = 500 //Search Range 
        private constant string LIGHTPRIME = ???? //Lightning code goes here
        private constant string LIGHTHURT = ????  //ditto
        private constant string LIGHTHEAL = ???? //"" ""   
    endglobals

Note1: This needs newgen to work.

Note2: I've altered your complicated damage formula, change it around as you see fit.

Note3: This is completely untested and will likely have errors. Take it as what it is a starting block to build on.

Naga, you forgot to null the group targets.
