Um...what actions did yo have in mind? A little more information would be helpful.
But, here's what you're looking for...so far.

There is no event that registers when a buff is activated. So, we use a periodic checker to see if the unit you want has the buff you want:

• Buff Checker
• Events
  • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of Game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (<YourUnit> <gen> has has buff <YourBuff) Equal to True
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- Put all your actions here --------
    • Else - Actions

You can find the "Unit - Unit has specific buff" in the Boolean comparison condition type.
I hope this helped you.

unit have the buff for 10 sec. and the actions are:

first healing the unit ones then giving the unit an armor bonus for the 10 sec and then the unit should get 20 hp per sec

but when i use the trigger of elite slayer i have to choose a specific unit that is ckecked for the buff, but it should be for all units

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DO IT, THEN:

1. Then use a universal unit group in the place of the specific unit. Something like a custom variable named "AllUnits". You can create a unit group variable in the "Set Variable" action and use this action:

• Actions
  • Unit Group - Add all units of (Units in (Playable map area)) to AllUnits

Or, if there are units that spawn during gameplay in your map, make an event like this:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Add (Entering Unit) to AllUnits

The above trigger example will add any new or spawned units to the AllUnits unit group.

2. In the primary trigger, instead of using a unit group variable, use "All Units in (Playable map area)".

If you want a unit from a unit group for all unit, then the primary trigger changes a bit:

• Buff Checker
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of Game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- If you don't have an unit goup, use "All units in (Playable map area)" --------
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in AllUnits and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff YourBuff) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Put your actions here --------
          • Else - Actions

The above trigger can be used if you're using a UNIT GROUP VARIABLE.
If you're NOT using a unit group variable, do this trigger:

• Buff Checker
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of Game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) has buff YourBuff) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- Put your actions here --------
          • Else - Actions

oh now that trigger makes wc3 to collapse because i did

Time - Every 0.01 seconds of Game time

 

[Squiggy]

I wonder since picking every unit in the playable map area shouldn't be lagging that much.
Does it work at least a few times before it collapses?
If so, put a

• Custom script: set_bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

before the Unit Group action

Try "Unit starts effect of an ability", i believe it refers to the point when unit is affected by an ability. (then just check the ability, not the buff)
