trigger editor? help, any?

i just want ur opinion/suggestion concerning the ff., i really like zymeth's heavy rain ability so i try to create a hero in w3ft where enemies will be strike by lightning when they attack my hero. this s what i did i put 6 neutral pas flying units w/ max flying height in my map and i set 3 of these units can attack only flying units and the others can attack only ground. i give lightning ability to these units and set artilliary so that their target will explode upon death. in the initialization category i added the action hide for these units. i made another category and the event= a unit is attacked, condition=unit type of attack unit is eq to lich and unit typ of attckng u not eq to lich, action= move (flying unit)to the position of attacking unit and order (flying unit) to attack attackng unit. of course in ths case ther would be 6 action for 6 flying units. any suggestion? because if want to order flying units to cast spells (fork lightnng, finger..etc) my map would be crowded w/ units.

Wrong section. Put this in the map forums next time.

1st thing 1st..i think you should post this in the Map forum

It makes it so much easyer to read!

oks!

ok better for me nxt time...

im not sure if this is what u wanted cuz i didnt bothered reading whole post but maybe u can use it:
lightning strike
Events
Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Is attacked
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Attacked unit)) Equal to Hero
Actions
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Attacking unit)) using Doodads\Cinematic\Lightningbolt\Lightningbolt.mdl
Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) - xx.xx)
Wait x.xx seconds
Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

If I were you, I'd instead just modify Thorns Aura to affect only your hero, and to do lightning effects instead of those little thorn bursts. No triggers necessary or even desireable.

TY

...thank u friends for ur generous ideas...

you can also add this 2 lines to make attacking unit go bit black (like its been burning), and explode on death
Actions
Animation - Change (Attacking unit)'s vertex coloring to (20.00%, 20.00%, 20.00%) with 0.00% transparency
Unit - Make (Attacking unit) Explode on death
add them before 'Wait'

you need help with triggers, terrain, ideas etc...? Are you good at making maps?
