Channel spell

[Chickay]

hi fast and easy question: i want to make a spell that does damage every 2 second for 10 seconds (channeled spell), but what would i base this on? i thought about the human spellbreakers but their catch-the-enemy-in-a-net spell wont work cause it immobilizes too... Life Drain wont work either cause i cant take the healing effect away - so what should i base it on? :<

Shadow Strike does the same thing.
"Decay Power" defines the every how many seconds you want the damage dealt.

thats not channeling spell

make it from life drain and via trigger I guess

but i could just base it on Channel too, but theres not a default damage thing there.. and then i thought of making the spell do a buff, and then check if a unit has the buff and deal damage to the unit (if it has the buff) every 2 second, but i cant find "Unit has buff equal to <bla bla>" <.<

Hm, channeling spell, right, sorry.
Base it off Channel, with follow through time equal to the seconds you want it channeled.
Then,

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Set Unit[1] = (Triggering unit)
  • Set Unit[2] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Trigger - Turn on Trigger2 <gen>

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
  • (Unit[2] is alive) Equal to True // This is "Boolean Comparison".
• Actions
  • Set Count = ((Count) + 1) // Integer - type variable
  • Unit - Cause Unit[1] to damage Unit[2] dealing 100 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Count) Equal to 5 // "Integer Comparison"
    • Then - Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Set Count = 0
    • Else - Actions

• Trigger3
• Events
  • Unit - A unit stops casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Trigger - Turn off Trigger2 <gen>
