Hey guys. After a long time I decided to back to mapping again) And by the way, I again have a stupid questions, more stupid than they were in the past.
So now I need a frozen traps or mines to my map (A regular idea, used everywhere xD) but I don't know how to make, for example, goblin mine to cast one of freezing spells when someone is walking over it. I will be grateful for any answer)
Rock out!

Nope, bro=) Frost trap must freeze enemy units around it when someone of them steps on it

i really dont suggest this method as waits are unreliable
but you could use the pause unit action and then unpause it after a few seconds and create a frost nova special effect

A unit enters region ( trap )
Condition unit = hero or user player
action = pick every unit around the entering unit and do pause units and create a special effect at picked units
destroy last created effect and unpause them ?

Detect a mine dying, and create a dummy to cast forst breath or nova or something there to slow units.

Spartipilo, +rep, and can you make some simple example map for spells, based on dummies? I think it will help me in future=)
