Anti chain lightning buff.

[Rugarus]

So the below is activated when the spell chain lightning is used on a human peasant unit. It applies a 60% chain buff after the first chain goes off. So basically first chain does full damage, and any other chain's do 60% less damage until the buff wears off.

It works sometimes, but for some reason later in the game it doesn't work, or if there's more players nearby(more peasants side by side)

This trigger seems to be running before the damage actually affects the player. So essentially it's making both chain lightning (even the first chain) do 60% less damage. Got any solution for me?
If I add some sort of wait command when the first chain goes off, I run the risk of two players using chain at the same time doing full damage.

library chainOfDeath requires AbilityEvent, libMisc, libSetup {

private function vA() {
  timer t = GetExpiredTimer();
  UnitHandle uh = GetTimerData(t);  
 
  UnitRemoveAbility(uh.u, ID_BUFF_GROUNDED);

  uh.destroy();
  ReleaseTimer(t);
}

private function eA() {
    timer t = GetExpiredTimer();
    UnitHandle uh = GetTimerData(t);
   
    UnitRemoveAbility(uh.u, ID_ABILITY_GND_BUFFPLACER);
    UnitRemoveAbility(uh.u, ID_BUFF_GROUNDED);

    uh.destroy();
    ReleaseTimer(t);
}

private function OnChainEffect() {
  unit uT = GetSpellTargetUnit();
  boolean b;
  xedamage dmg;
  GroupEnumUnitsInRange(ENUM_GROUP, GetUnitX(uT), GetUnitY(uT), 256., null);
  for(ENUM_UNIT = EnumGroupInit(); EnumGroupCheck(); ENUM_UNIT = EnumGroupEnd()) {
    if (IsHuman(ENUM_UNIT)) {
      if (GetUnitAbilityLevel(ENUM_UNIT, ID_BUFF_GROUNDED) > 0) {
   
        UnitAddAbility(ENUM_UNIT, ID_ABILITY_GROUNDED);
        UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(ENUM_UNIT, true, ID_ABILITY_GROUNDED);
        TimerStart(NewTimerEx(UnitHandle.create(ENUM_UNIT)), 2.5, false, function vA);
      }
      else if (GetUnitAbilityLevel(ENUM_UNIT, ID_BUFF_GROUNDED) == 0) {
        UnitAddAbility(ENUM_UNIT, ID_ABILITY_GND_BUFFPLACER);
        UnitMakeAbilityPermanent(ENUM_UNIT, true, ID_ABILITY_GND_BUFFPLACER);
        TimerStart(NewTimerEx(UnitHandle.create(ENUM_UNIT)), 8, false, function eA);
      }
    }
    else if (GetUnitTypeId(ENUM_UNIT) == ID_ENGINEER) {
      b = false;
      GroupEnumUnitsInRange(ENUM_GROUP2, GetUnitX(ENUM_UNIT), GetUnitY(ENUM_UNIT), 256., null);
      for(ENUM_UNIT2 = EnumGroupInit2(); EnumGroupCheck2(); ENUM_UNIT2 = EnumGroupEnd2()) {
        if (IsWall(ENUM_UNIT2) && GetOwningPlayer(ENUM_UNIT2) != GetOwningPlayer(ENUM_UNIT)) {
          b = true;
        }
      }
      if (b) {
        dmg = xedamage.create();
        dmg.damageTargetForceValue(GetSpellAbilityUnit(), ENUM_UNIT, 2000); // increased from 1000 to insta kill engineers
        dmg.destroy();
      }
    }
  }

Use a DDS to add the buff after the damage caused by chain lightning is dealt.

Use a DDS to add the buff after the damage caused by chain lightning is dealt.

What's happening is if it's just one player that uses chain of death the buff only applies after the damage is dealt. But if me and another player use chain at the same time it applies both buffs before the damage is dealt. What could be causing that?

So I'm using the DDS but having issues.

DDS not working properly.
