Nice... but as shiggityshwa said I wouldn't have made it. Instead I made a Frost Nova skill. Close enough, eh?

Updated the spell.
- The Frost Nova caster units are now invisible and unselectable.
- Increased the Health and Mana Regeneration of the Lich to ease testing purposes.
- Cleaned up some triggers for efficiency.
- Added some trigger comments to aid in editting.
Feedback is always appreciated!

nevermind... I tried Locust with a Self-only targetting Frost Nova... didn't work...
Here I uploaded it an added a few features to make it reasonable.

Well unless you figured it out already, you set the unit to a variable then do "Order UnitVar to Undead Lich Frost Nova Unitvar" I also left out that I made it "self,organic" Sorry bout that >_>

really?? then can target Self even with Locust if the only targetable thing is Self?!???!!! really!?!? must try that right away!
oh, btw, I'm trying to do something based of Rain of Chaos, with Infernal for the unit spawning skill. How do I refer to the spawned unit in a trigger?? I've tried "Event Response - Summoned Unit" but that doesn't seem to work.... help please!

Ya if you make the spell only targetable on "self" then locusted units can cast it on themselves, but you can only damage units with the "Nova" part of the spell 
Gimme a minute to figure out how to upload the map to this site.

And can you give me the URL for your spell? I wanna see how you did it.
PS: I don't know how to do Custom Scripts.....

Nice spell, however there's a few things I would like to point out.
You can make the units unseclectable with the locust ability, then if you use "call SetUnitPathing(GetCreatedUnit(), false)" or something like that the units cannot be seen on the minimap or be selected or be run into.
I also made a spell like this cept called it frosting fields and you cast it on a unit instead of channeling it. I used 4 variables and 2 triggers in mine and has 3 levels, each leveling increasing damage and the area where the novas happen.
Overall nice job.

Psonic Storm? is that the one with the little balls of light flying around the caster and flinging other balls of light at nearby enemies?? If it is, to me, that's just Locust Swarm with different summoned units...
You don't have to duplicate anything, just look at the code for Stone Prison or Psonic Storm. They both support multiple casters.
this is nice! i probobly wont use it but its still nice!
oh.. um... if you want more than one caster, you'll have to duplicate the trigger and the variables for the other casters.... I've never tried thought... eeeek... might screw up those "Event Response - Last Created Unit" lines.... one way to possibly prevent massive lag and/or conflicts with multiple Frozen Fields is to slow down the Periodic Event for the Frost Novas, and maybe extend the duration of the spell itself to compensate.
I had intended this spell for any scenarios or cinematics.... not melee maps
this spell is currently too overpowered for melee maps

well... I had to use units to cast the ice explosions...... I tried giving them locust but it doesn't work then.... hmm.... I'll try something else then...The ice blasts are selectable! Otherwise, its nice.

@shiggityshwa: thanks for telling me that, I never tried moving right after casting I changed the trigger to "Unit starts the effect of an ability" like you said now and uploaded it. Should be fine now, I guess. ^^

Hey you beat me 2 it , then i again i don't think i was gonna realy do it. Nice spell only thing is if you move just when you start the spell it will turn on the first trigger in a non stop Frozen Feild.
So to any one who uses this spell change "unit begins channeling and abiltiy" to "unit starts the effect of an ability"
you should always use "unit starts the effect of an ability" because the others can be abused like i did, Vexorian once told me this when i started posting my first spells.
Anyways 5/5

the vast majority uses photoshop, but if you can't get it, try googling for a tga2blp program, I think wc3 image extractor II on the tools section works too
Can someone please tell me how to convert a Warcraft screenshot into a jpg format??
from .tga ===> .jpg
and any comments on the spell will be greatly appreciated!
