Problem with an ability

[Nenad]

I have a bit of a problem with one of my AI abilities.
It's supposed to: Fire a shockwave in front, and two more shockwaves on each side that differ by an angle, but go in a cone in front of the hero. Like this: /|\ Lines=shockwaves. However, my ability fires only 1 (wtf?) shockwave, and usually at a wrong angle (sometimes as much as 90 degrees wrong). The triggers are done below, help me solve this problem please ^^

I suggest use 1 single dummy to cast all 3 shockwaves

you can achieve that by setting dummy's casting time/backswing to 0.

 

[Weep]

You're ordering the dummies to cast at a point offset by 0.00 distance - right on top of the dummy, and therefore it doesn't really have a direction. All 3 shockwaves are being cast, but all in the same (wrong) direction. Cast toward a point with at least 50 offset.

P.S. Point with polar offset creates a new point, and leaks with your triggers the way they currently stand.

Alrighty, a bit better. He doesn't shoot shockwaves randomly anymore but only when he deals damage. However, only 1 shockwave is still shot (dummy has 0 cast backswing and the casting time is 0, as well as the spells have no animation tags). And also this one shockwave seems to be shot in a random direction >.<
