Causing damage to a unit with Triggers and variables.

[XxJizzxX]

I'm making this trigger which when cast is supposed to pause both the target and the user and then 5 times a second for the 6 second duration the target is supposed to take damage based on the level of the ability. This is how I have it set up:

Abilityy
Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Ability
Actions
Set chargetarget[TempInt] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
Unit - Pause (Triggering unit)
Unit - Pause chargetarget[TempInt]
Unit - Pause (Target unit of ability being cast)
Trigger - Turn on Attack Anim <gen>

Attack Anim
Events
Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
Conditions
Actions
Animation - Play Attacker 0030 <gen>'s Attack animation
Unit - Cause Attacker 0030 <gen> to damage chargetarget[TempInt], dealing (1.00 + damage[(Level of Ability for (Triggering unit))]) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Death

chargetarget= Unit Array
TempInt= Integer

It doesn't do damage and the target doesn't freeze when the spell is cast.

Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability

Change to A unit Starts the effect of an ability

I suggest that you save (Triggering unit) into a variable.

Unit - Pause chargetarget[TempInt]
Unit - Pause (Target unit of ability being cast)

Why do you pause the same unit ?

Unit - Cause Attacker 0030 <gen> to damage chargetarget[TempInt], dealing (1.00 + damage[(Level of Ability for (Triggering unit))]) damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Death

As I said, save the (Triggering unit) into a variable and use it here "Cause YourTriggeringUnitVariable to damage bla bla bla..."
Also, it should be "damage[(Level of Ability for YourTriggeringUnitVariable)]"

You used (Triggering unit) there, the event and the reference does not meet up (Trigger "Attack Anim")

Thanks, I changed the casting part.
Well I tried Target unit of ability being cast but it didnt work
so I did a thing where i set the target unit into a variable and just repeated it, but neither work and I don't know why.
How do I trigger the damage part, or is that right?

Thanks, That fixed it!
I tried +rep you but it said I need to spread more before +rep you again, :/ sorry.
EDIT1:
It doesn't seem to be doing damage based on the level of the ability though..
