[Spell] Breath of Fire not Buffing

So, I made a custom unit ability, Breath of Death, based of f Breath of Fire. I replaced the fire breath with some other breath model, and I replaced the Breath of Fire buff with a custom buff based off of it, Breath of Death (buff). I also made a trigger that picks all units in map every second and, if they have the Breath of Death buff, damages them and creates a special effect at their location.

Two problems:

1. The units aren't getting buffed for some reason. I have the buff in the ability appropriate ability field. Also the units are getting damaged by the Breath of Death skill (though, for some reason--probably because they aren't being buffed--they aren't receiving the damage over time).

2. Because they are not being buffed, the trigger won't do the damage detect+damage.

So, really, it's one problem: units aren't being buffed.

Anyone know what to do?

hmm... just read something that led me to something else about how BoF doesn't buff unless the unit has been drunken hazed. Gonna try BoFrost instead and see if it works.


EDIT: Not sure I got it to work exactly how i wanted but I did get it mostly to work by using BoFrost and a damage per second greater than 0
