I'll attach the spell. The trigger purpose is for only effect reasons. Use the spell on a bear looks good (if your in the center of the map), now move away from the ring of bears but in distance so you can use the spell notice the lightening still hits the same exact spot in the middle of the map. That needs to be corrected. I'll attach the map if you can fix it give me the fixed map please.

I'm working on it. May have found the problem.

[edit]
You want the last lightning bolts to strike around the casting location, correct?

I believe you wanted this.

It appears that the set target6 = casting unit ran AFTER the spell graphics, so the spell target6 had no value and defaulted to the center of the map.

The spell appears to cause an annoying square though.

[edit]
Attachments appear to be losing their file extentions, just add .w3x to it and it will work.

Whatever you think it was worth.

Link, thats nice, but theres still that really irritating square problem, and you have a square that blinks mid spell and one appearing later that stays after the spell.

Any idea how to fix that square?

It makes a large square centered on the caster, the upper right corner of this 'square' becomes shaded.

Ah, forgot the screenshot.

I switched tilesets to see if it'd change anything. It didn't.
