i hope this will help you

        Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_P1)
        Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_P2)

it ll set the 12 nearest units around my paladin in order of their distance towards him.

Edit: Heres the map i did this script in maybe it ll help you more if you can test it.

Thanks. +rep.

EDIT: Woops, can't. Sorry.

For Integer is required, which will be used in conjunction with angles and distances.

First determine the angle distances between 2 points you want. Say 20. Divide it from 360. 360 / 20 = 18

This number will be used for the integer

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions

Then determine the increments for every movement. e.g + 30.0 every change of angle. (30 * 18 = 540.0 distances away as the head of the spiral)
Input:

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
Set Temp_Point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 30.00 towards 0.00 degrees)

Make use of For Integer A, which will help to manage the increments.

For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
    Loop - Actions
Set Temp_Point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by (30.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) towards (20.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)

Utilize the new reference point and pick every units around that point matching conditions.

Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Temp_Point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by (30.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) towards (20.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of Temp_Point matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions

Add your actions ...

Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Temp_Point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by (30.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) towards (20.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of Temp_Point matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
                        Unit - Add Acid Bomb to (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Set level of Acid Bomb for (Last created unit) to (Level of Acid Bomb for (Triggering unit))
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb (Picked unit)
                        Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Remove leak

    Actions
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to 18, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set Temp_Point = ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by (30.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) towards (20.00 x (Real((Integer A)))) degrees)
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of Temp_Point matching (((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False)) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at (Position of (Picked unit)) facing (Position of (Triggering unit))
                        Unit - Add Acid Bomb to (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Set level of Acid Bomb for (Last created unit) to (Level of Acid Bomb for (Triggering unit))
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb (Picked unit)
                        Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Point)

Quick Check List:
- determine the angle distances between 2 points
- determine the increments for every movement
- draft trigger
- utilize Integer A
