DotA sacred warrior - burning spear

[alpha 100 f]

Hi,
I just tried to remake Huskars burning spear.
For all guys who don't know sacred warrior: burning spear is an auto-cast ability which improves your weapons (like searing arrows). Instead of dealing additional dmg the target receives damage over time. Most important: the dot stacks!
And this is my current problem. Is there any blizzard-made ability I can use or how can one trigger this?

i'm not sure but you could use poison arrows and try it out by changing the damage to stacking. I'm just sayin

I tried yesterday but it did not work.

I'll work on a solution an post it here when finished...

I never used an autocast ability, but for all other DOT spells this works very good...

It is quite simple actually; base it off poison arrows, like @Spyda man suggested, with stacking type set to Kill. Then, the triggering part:

• One
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetTriggerEventId() == EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT then
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Bash
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 15.00)
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: elseif GetTriggerEventId() == EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_ISSUED_ORDER then
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(poisonarrows))
        • ((Triggering unit) is in BurnersGroup) Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to BurnersGroup
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unpoisonarrows))
            • ((Triggering unit) is in BurnersGroup) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from BurnersGroup
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: endif

• Two
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) is in BurnersGroup) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Attacking unit) to ((Life of (Attacking unit)) - 15.00)

If you want it to be an autocast style spell, you can base it off of frost arrows, and use a trigger to deal damage over time. Base it off of frost arrows, and give it a dummy buff, and use this thing:

• Event
  • Time - Every 0.5 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick Every Unit in (Units in (Playable Map Area) matching (((Matching Unit) has buff (dummy frost arrows buff)) equaly to (true)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Cause (Whoever has the spell unit) to damage (picked unit), dealing (x) damage of attack type (spell?) and damage type (magic?)
