ok i need a little help here

in my spell it makes a circle and in the circle it fills each 4th with a diff effect now how would i make it fill the 1/4 area?

example
Code:
  ________
 /    |   \
/     |    \
|  f  | i   |
|_____|_____|
|     |     |
|  b  | l   |
\     |    /
 \____|___/

how would i fill the fire side with a fire effect without touching the other 3/4ths?

Okay I'm kinda confused here. What kind of circle are you making? A circle thats completely filled in or just a circle around the caster? If its filled in, then you use the create special effect circle, and maybe at radius 100 and 200 its ice, and at 300 its fire. If your talking about a circle that makes every fourth effect fire.. this could take a pretty long trigger.

Btw, redo the ascii art, and use the code tags before and after it, its the little # button above the part you type in. When you type out ASCII art, it removes the spaces, if you use code tags it will leave them in.

Code:
            *
     /             \
    <              <
    *      0       *
     \             /
            <

* = Fire
/ = Ice
\ = Lightning
< = Blight
0 = Caster

Something like that? But more randomized?

Don't be grouch, he's just trying to help and frankly, if you can't be bothered to show what you want clearly by making a picture then it's your fault for not communicating what you want clearly.

From what I understand, you have a spell that creates a ring of fire. I think you've got that down pat. Now I've got a question, do you want each quarter of the fire ring to be filled with a different effect (like a pizza with different toppings in each quart) or do you just want it to be random? Or do you want it to have random effects with a uniform spread?

If you want it completely random, then just create dummy casters/special effects using the "point with polar" offset function to set location. Enter a random angle and a random polar offset (up to the max size of the fire circle) and loop the action about a dozen times.

If you want it in quarts then you're going to have a loop that sets a fixed polar offset but otherwise uses the above method.

I would write out the triggers, but I'm not exactly sure what you want yet.

Well, you already figured out how to do the fire ring right?

I'm assuming you used a loop that creates the effect at a polar offset to the casting unit. You'd pretty mcuh use the same trigger, repeated a few times and one loop for each quadrant. I don't have time to mess with it now, but I'll play with it when I come back from work today.
