    The damage works just fine, but the arrows are not spawning. What is going ooooon

    You probably need to target the floor in order for the items to spawn. Try putting that effect in a separate spell that triggers after the damage.

    this is stupid -- try de-capitalizing "spawnitemfromlist".

    Does the validator throw anything?

    'amount="1"' for the trigger (the one that calls for arrow spawning) that you made makes the arrow spawning trigger after 1 turn. I'm not sure if that is something you intended to happen.

    Other than that, I'll need to have some free time to say anything.

    Amount="1" makes it happen at the end of the current turn. ="2" would be the end of next turn.

    Nope. Makes sense, as I was using a validating XML editor to make it.

    The XML editor itself was complaining about how "spawnitemfromlist" should be "spawnItemFromList". The capitalization fixer did change it back to the camelCase version.

    btw Kazeto, amount="1" is intentional due to a bug with triggers not respecting taxa with amount="0"

    No, I don't mean the ones in the main trigger. I know these need that to work.

    I mean the ones in "ArrowSpawnHit[whatever]" spells, since these have 'amount="1"' too and they aren't using taxa.

    Oh yeah, it was one of those shotgun debugging things where I added radom stuff hoping it'd work. Clearly it didn't.

    Ok, so shotgun randomness time now.

    Add some sort of animation to the spawning effect and check if it's the problem with it not triggering (I would be surprised, but weird stuff happens sometimes) or if the spawning effect is botched there.

    He knows it's triggering because the damage (which is in the same spell) is going off.

    Erm, no, Essence. Get some sleep and then take a look at his new version. Or take a look at the new version and then get some sleep.

    Either way, you missed the link to the new version that he posted on pastebin, and there the bolt-spawning and damage-dealing effects are distinct, and the damage-dealing ones call for triggers to the bolt-spawning ones.
