Chain Lightning (data editor) + Chain Healing
A chain lightning ability done with only the data editor.
It bounces from one unit to another 15 times, never hitting the same unit twice, doing decreasing damages, and has a jumping beam actor.
New version for retail SC2 + mod version.
There's also a 5 jumps Healing Beam which us the medivac's beam.
See Help page here to change number of bounces.

Posted Mar 2, 2012I updated these abilities for you and made them so it's easier for people to implement them into their maps.
It's attached. I changed chain lighting

Posted Apr 27, 2010I don't want the chain to be able to jump back to a target it previously hit though (it did that originally).
What I could do is simply duplicate the ability, everything should be duplicated with it (effects, behavior, validator, ...), and give each unit a different duplicate of the ability.
Decreasing behavior time depending on the number of bounces done is a nice idea. :)

Posted Apr 27, 2010So, multiple archons can't hit the same target with the same spell.
However, you should be able to fix this if you make 5 Behavior / Validators for each jump. and assign them to each one seperately... and make them only last less time scaling down. I.e. the first behavior lasts the entire duration, the next, the remaining duration. This is an adhoc fix because if there are less than 4 targets available, one or more chain lightnings will fizzle out.

Posted Apr 27, 2010Hello,
I played around with your Data a little bit and I think I may have found a partial solution for you.
The only change I made was to one of your Actors:
Data > Actors > ArchonAttack2 : Launch Attachment Query + Changed the Filter type to Direct (from Methods) and selected Center from the drop down menu.
This at least made your chain lightning come from the center of your archon instead of his right idle hand.
