So, I'm working with the Python Warrioress. Her spell animation is to have the snake she's wearing lunge toward an enemy while remaining mostly on her.

I want that lunge to be a bite: when the lunge happens the unit it lunged at starts taking poison damages. And I want this to autocast, so it just goes off every few seconds while she's fighting someone up close with her swords. And I want the range of the spell (the bite) to be very low so she has to be close enough for the snake to touch the other character for the poison damage to start. Also, when the unit is bitten, it should be paralyzed (paused?) for a few seconds.

I am having problems, though:

1. I tried basing the spell off searing arrow but I couldn't figure out how to get the spell animation going (I couldn't figure out how to get the snake to lunge).

2. I tried curse. But then I couldn't get her to curse again a unit that had already been cursed, and i couldn't get the curse skull and crossbones effect to not appear over the target's head.

3. I tried trigger only ability but I can't figure out how to autocast (and other things).

Can someone tell me the easiest way to make this spell?

Sorry, I remember now:

I got searing arrow to do the right animation. The problem with the spell through searing arrow is that it is not autocasting for some reason.

My range for attacking melee is 100. And my range for doing searing arrow spell is 120. So that doesn't seem to be an issue. It works when I cast it manually, too. But it just won't autocast for some reason.

You know what the problem is?
