Multiply Lightnings

Im tinkering with an ability i call "Thunder Hammer" it is a missile ability, triggered so that is causes a dummy unit to fly forward with a loop, the loop also picks targets and adds them to a group.

Now comes my problem, im trying to cause the "Thunder Hammer" to shoot lightnings on each target in group. This is how i triggered it.

Code:
THL Loop
    Events
        Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to THL_Count, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Lightning - Destroy Lightning[(Integer A)]
        Set THL_Count = 0
        -------- - --------
        Set TempPoint = (Position of TH_Missile)
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in TH_Group and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set TempPoint2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
                Set THL_Count = (THL_Count + 1)
                Lightning - Create a Forked Lightning lightning effect from source TempPoint to target TempPoint2
                Set Lightning[THL_Count] = (Last created lightning effect)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Logically, this should work. It's way to simple not to! :mad:
So... what did i miss? ;)
 
Oh god... this is embarassing :>
I was gonna tell you that the rest makes no dif when I discovered I forgot to actually activate the loop in my ini trigger.

Good work all :thup:

PS. If a mod sees this feel free to delete the thread so that no evidence of that this ever occured exists anymore ;)

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
