[Trigger/Spell] Triggering Ability, Help!

Well, i'm making a spell called Summoning Circle right now, and it's supposed to spawn 5 random skeletons over 10 seconds. The buff I modified was Battle Roar, and the spell I modified was Anti-Magic Shell:
1 ~ How do I make 5 random skeletons be summoned?
2 ~ I triggered a non-random summoning of 5 skeletons with the spell, however the skeletons do not get summoned :P
Here is the trigger (NOTE: I am only beginning to trigger, and in GUI too - so no JASS or vJASS please :P)

Store variables before using wait. It may not work properly.

Try this
Notice that (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)) not (Owner of (Targeted unit))

This spell won't work well if it is cast by two units at the same time because it's global variables not local variables. So maybe you should consider learning JASS.


And I thought you posted in the wrong section. Scripts related go to http://www.wc3campaigns.net/forumdisplay.php?f=8

You could stroe the skeleton types in a unit type array before using a "From every integer A" trigger to slowly release them.

Rule #1: Don't use "beings casting" because it fires before manacost/cooldown are spent. Instead, use "starts the effect of."

Rule #2: Most event responses don't retain their value after a wait, so you'll need to store Target Point of Ability being Cast in a variable before the wait(s).

Oh, right I see, thanks :)
When storing skeleton types in a unit type variable, do I have to make seperate variables for each one, or is there a way to store 'em in one variable?
Sorry if it seems like a very *noob question, but I've barely begun GUI :P
BestZero, thanks, but what kind of variable is the Temp_player variable? (eg; unit type, game cache)

Temp_Player is a player variable, from what I can see.

If you have just begun and you want to make it usable in multiplayer game, using array variables for each player is not a bad idea.

And this should do it
At least this works if it you didn't cast to owner of target unit of ability at the same time.

EDIT : Oops, sorry this didn't work in this case, but it do work fine without using of wait so you just consider this reply is a tip.

Thanks, BestZero :)
+Rep if I can :P

You can't have "target unit of ability being cast" and "target point of ability being cast" at the same time, your spell either targets a point or a unit.

Actually, that's only the case with spellcast event responses as far as I know.

Meh, when do you ever use non-spellcast events? Player selection and chat events, I guess...

OK, well I've got casting all clear and done (since this afternoon).
But how do I make random skeletons (of a certain group of skeletons) get summoned?
I'm trying to figure it out myself right now, but it's pretty difficult. :P

Store the skeleton unit types in a unit type variable array, then use a random num,ber as the index for the array when creating the unit.

OK, thanks a bunch! I assume the following is correct?:
I've already tested it and works fine, just wanting to make sure it's right.

Wouldn't you want to spawn the skeletons for the owner of the casting unit, not the targeted unit? Why target a unit in the first place?

Also, your indexes for the temp_player are different, I don't think that's intended?

You should probably add a Raise dead effect at the spawn position just to look better.
