I'm making a spell and it involves casting Unholy Frenzy. I'm using the trigger attached to this post.

the problem is I can't make it affect any more then 1 unit in the variable group.
any suggestions?

Make sure that unholy frenzy has:
Cast Range: 9999999
Mana Cost: 0
Cast Time: 0

And, most importantly, use a good dummy caster (for instance, the unit in Vexorian's xe system). That have 0 animation cast point, 0 animation backswing, 0 turn ratio, etc...

I'm afraid that really doesn't help much.

You order the dummy to cast it on a random unit of that group. So of course it only affects one unit.
If you want to cast on every unit in that group you have to loop through the group and create a dummy for every unit in it and order it to cast on the picked unit

Oh, god... you're casting with the Triggering Unit... You should create a new unit to do the casting (use Vexorian's XE dummy caster ^^). (destroy the new unit when the casting is done)

Also, what Mauwulf said :P

Or, he could just use xecast to do all the dirty work for him.

I have patch 1.21, for some reason when I try to download it, it fails. Can I still use xecast with my patch or will I need to download a newer patch externally?

Yeah, the xe libraries didn't need to be changed for patch 1.24 so they should still work for older patches as well. Only the xe demo map was updated because some of the samples use Table which needed an update for 1.24.
