Flamestrike trigger based damage not working

[CzarDragon]

So I have about all of the damaging spells on my map as trigger based damage and I get to this flamestrike one and it's really bothering me I've tried a few things now, I've tried making one based off the silence spell as well.

My problem here is it only damages for some of the duration then it stops. It does the damage for a second maybe, total damage did to the unit I cast on was about 150? Should be much more. I've tried changing the event to things like "Finishes casting an ability" and tried "Begins channeling an ability". The finished casting one did nothing... Help is much appreciated and thanks in advance to anyone who can help. I've tried these 3 events for both the Silence based Flame Strike and the original Flame Strike spell. Nothing works...

first, use Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability...

next, save the casting unit and target point onto variables, because the wait causes the trigger to forget those things...


lastly, using waits are bad

Never use Casting Unit. Always use Triggering Unit, somehow it increases performance.
Waits can be used in instant-cast triggers like this one, so long as you don't use global variables.

I would appreciate an alternative to the wait command if they're so bad.

Edit: I changed to starts the effect and saved the hero and his target of cast. It works now! Great, thank you!
