something like this

• forked lightning
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Forked Lightning (a dummy target ability)
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Target unit of ability being cast) to tempunitgroup
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temppoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
        • Set tempunitgroup2 = (Units within 400.00 of temppoint matching ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True) and (((Matching unit) is in tempunitgroup) Equal to False)))
        • Unit Group - Add (Random unit from tempunitgroup2) to tempunitgroup
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_tempgroup2)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temppoint)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in tempunitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set temppoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
        • Set temppoint2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Lightning - Create a Forked Lightning lightning effect from source temppoint to target temppoint2
        • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing (2.00 x ((Real((Intelligence of (Casting unit) (Include bonuses)))) x (Real((Level of Forked Lightning for (Casting unit)))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
        • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_tempgroup)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temppoint)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_temppoint2)

EDIT: You might have to destroy the Lightning effect in some way, I can't remember if those get permanent

 

[ReDruMMurDeR]

yeah um whats temppoint? and the other varibles

 

[Ashlebede]

temppoint & temppoint2 are point-type variables declared in the trigger editor using CTRL+B.

tempunitgroup2 & tempunitgroup are unit-group type variables declared in the same way.

Oh, and lightning effects do leak.

call DestroyLightning(udg_TempLightningEffect)

If you don't destroy it, it'll remain forever. You'll have to store it in a variable and then destroy it with the above code.

i keep getting errors with custom script im not sure how to fix that

the errors with the script are

Do you put spaces between the RemoveLocation and the opening parenthesis? That could be why the custom scripts don't work.

I think it should be like RemoveLocation(udg_my_var)

Spaces don't matter in JASS. This is valid code :

call    RemoveLocation        (      udg_my_var)       //lollerskates

Maybe you forgot the key-word [ljass]call[/ljass] or didn't add the prefix [ljass]udg_[/ljass] before your variable's name. Or that name just ain't the same as on your map. Oh, and remember they're case-sensitive.
