Ok, the problem is in the damage being done with this ability (and I'm just making sure that it will properly level). The rest works fine, but for some reason the damage seemingly accumulates on the targets; just simply does dramatically more damage than it should, sometimes just one hitting all heroes. How can I properly apply or fix the damage with this? Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

-Credit to CokeMonkey11 for writing the ability.

One of the causes may be because of the silence buff isn't attached or not in time.
The silence targets the ground and it needs some time to cast it out, the unit may be already away from the location it is that time.
Another cause that makes the damage higher is because of the damage type and attack type.

Anyway, you leaked the pointAbilityTarget location and you didn't nullify the unit variables.

Yeah, Coke was telling me to forcefully attach it, I tried that though and it didn't work either =/. The buff is also notably active when casted.

Hm..? Where at, could you specify please?

Ok, I just tried putting the units into a unit group and specifying that way into the condition. It didn't work, so it must not be the buff.

Nvm, got it to work, thanks all.

The timer expires every 0.03 seconds, are you sure it isn't possible that the problem is with the buff? Try adding a GameText trigger that shows for example "TRIGGERED" just below the damage function. Then cast the spell in game to only 1 unit, if there are more than 1 "TRIGGERED" game text that means its the problem with the buff.
