Getting Chandra, Roaring Flame's ultimate to work

[fallenangle]

I've been working on the new Origins creature/walkers for DOTP 2014, and I've gotten stuck on Chandra, Roaring Flame's ultimate. I can deal 6 damage to each opponent easily enough, but I can't get the emblem (read, "delayed trigger doing unpreventable damage") that it is supposed to create to deal damage to 3 damage to each player damaged by the ultimate during that player's subsequent upkeeps. If any one of the coding gods out there could be so kind as to suggest code for the whole ability that I might try, I would be very grateful.

Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Edit: Here's the code for the ability I have now (my apologies for not posting this earlier):

There is a problem in the delayed trigger with resource_id="3". For the CLEANUP, TriggerPlayer() will always equal nil when the trigger is not active so it should check EffectDC():Get_PlayerPtr(0) == nil instead.

That was the problem. It works perfectly now. Thanks a million, Riiak!
