Change Chain Lightning into Moon Glaive

i have edited the spell chain lightning with more hits and damage, but can i change the effect to moon glaive so whenever the spell is cast, no lightning but moonglsive appear instead?

Lightning attack and the chain lightning spell as well as manaburn use a special kind of .slk called "lightningdata.slk". This .slk lets you change a variety of options like what bitmap is used, what color shading is used, how much it "forks" or how long it lasts.

However it is unfortuante that the lightning itself cannot be changed into a moonglaive. Since the lightning is designed to exist at both points at once.

As a substitute, i would think of another way to substitue the chain lightning and use a "caster" type unit to enact the spell. An awesome and easy way to do this is to have a "chargeup" ability and a jass trigger to handle the attack. lets say you use the chargeup ability, and your guy has like a ranged attack. Upon the next attack you detect and intercept the attacker and the victim and make your chain glaive work accordingly.

Another cool way to implement this is to have the glaives target the nearest 2 or 3 enemies and then you send glaives around out in a sort of nova.

However, to get the effect of using chainlighting on a unit and havig it look like a glaive, you need to use a very difficult unit target detection system and base it off of cripple or purge or something.

Anyway, those are your options.

thanks for the info.
