So i've been wanting to make a new power for a wizard. One which basically makes it rain fire in a certain area.
So i thought i could just have like the corsairs of umbar's fire bombs fall from the sky. And so i just used the Create A Hero's bombard power as a base and kind of just changed it from there.
So heres what i've done so far:

Sorry for having some much code there.
But anyway, it loads just fine and i can use the power, but the fire bombs dont fire from the sky or anything. they just pop up, one by one, on the ground. there isnt any FX's either. and the fire bombs just stay on the ground for forever.
Heres a pic to explain better:
So hopefully, someone can help me out. Cause im stumped.
Thanks,
