I've been making a map and making some custom skills for a sniper, a couple of those skills are Explosive Shot, and Headshot however they are both not working as intended
Here are some screenshots of the problem:
Explosive Shot skill data: http://puu.sh/1FUty
The issue: http://puu.sh/1FUw0

As in the screenshots the skill is supposed to do 100/200/300 dmg and 300 aoe but does only 10/20/30 dmg with no aoe

The Headshot skill isn't even me renamed in the game

FYI: It's not just the description of the skill, it's what the skill does as well

[Note: I'm using Jass Newgen 5e pack]

[Note: Thanks for all the replies so far, I am going to sleep for now cause it's late but I'll look again first thing in the morning]

I think <AHfa,DatA1>(all 3 are DatA1 and also I think ability code is wrong not AHfa) wouldn't easiest way would be just change <AHfa,DatA1> to 100/200/300 ? :D also I see many grammar mistakes, like explaoding or incresed

To be honest I have no idea what <AHfa,DatA1> does it was there by default for level 1 and I think I copied it to level 2 and 3. But it didnt matter, in game its just showing and using defaults for description and damage. The only thing that has changed in game is the title for the skill.
As for spelling mistakes and such, 1. I suck at spelling 2. I have these moments where I can't even spell stuff like "and".

ah, i see...
Area of Effects field for 'Searing Arrow' doesn't affect anything. Blizzard was just lazy to remove those unused fields which might cause some confusions to the user.

about the damage, i don't have any idea.

EDIT :

I tried changing the damage into 1000/2000/3000, and it worked fine. maybe the damages get reduced because of enemy's armor ?

for example, my Mirana deals 21 - 31 damage, when she use searing arrow, the damage would be 1021 - 1031, but when i damage an Ogre with 3+3 (Metal Armor), it only dealt 746 damages. i hope that's the problem :p

try using the explosive shot with unarmored units with 0 armor. ( i've tried my mirana to shoot Searing Arrow to unarmored unit with 0 armor, and it dealt 1020 damages just fine) :)

Ah thanks, I'll do some more testing tomorrow based on that then.

Edit: Thanks, I was able to fix this issue because of your information.
