Dark Possession v1.0

Dark Possession
Tooltip
Conjures an orb of compressed dark energies at targeted point,which possesses any allied unit and enemy unit who comes within its area.Possessed allied unit will gain 10/15/20 mana x the number of enemy units affected with possession.Possessed enemy units will receive 15/20/25 damage x the number of allied units of the orb affected with possession.The AoE radius of the orb starts with 500 and grows with the speed of 50 units per second.The orb lasts for 5/7.5/10 seconds

Hey i am a bit new to this.....
whenever i open the map of the spell it says that i lack some triggers.....
after that it closes...
please help:(
 
DP_Caster, DP_Picked, DP_Orb, DP_U why 4 variables when 2 are enough ?
DP_TargetLoc, DP_Offset, DP_OrbLoc, DP_TempOffset, it's the same 4 variables when 2 only are needed.
DP_Count and DP_TotalSides, 2 variables when 1 is enough.
DP_TempGroup[1], [2], [3] : Only 2 arrays are enough, and an arrayed variable take 4000 times more place than 2 normal variables. And the [1] don't need to be saved in a variable, just use "set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true" to unleak instead of "call DestroyGroup()".

Replace Integer A by your variable instead of setting a variable to Integer A in the loop.

I have one problem. The spell does not cause any damage to the creeps and it just keep growing as it does not dissappear, regardless of that the spell works perfektly. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

The orb disappears after 10sec now, but it does not cause any damage to the enemies neither it is another player or neutral hostile`s.
