You still have way too much emoticons in that post...

And I think you want to store the unit (target) inside a variable, so you can recall it whenever you want to deal the damage.

You could make it invulnerable by default. But when you want to damage it, make it vulnerable, deal damage and make it invulnerable again.

How about YOU explain it nicely?

What can we derive from this?

1) You want to deal damage to a unit.
2) Hellfire laser? What the hell is that?
3) A custom spell uses triggers, so you'll have to damage the target with triggers.
4) That sentence is incomprehensible.

We can't help if we do not understand the problem.
You're talking gibberish and suddenly start saying something about a 'Hellfire laser', of which I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who doesn't know it.
Take your time while writing, it's better that I need to read a lot than translate a single sentence of rubbish to understandable English.

I think he wants a custom projectile spell that deals damage when the projectile actually lands or something.

 

[jasond10]

i mean that when we create a custom spell and then when we test it i want it to damage only when it reaches the target

Aha! That's better.

In GUI, it's something like this:

• Actions
  • Set Loc1 = (Position of {Projectile})
  • Set Loc2 = (Position of {Target})
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Distance between Loc1 and Loc2) Less than or equal to {Projectile Speed}
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- Deal Damage --------
    • Else - Actions
      • -------- Move Projectile --------
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc1)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc2)

Everything between {} is spell-specific (well, kind of...).
You just check the distance between the two units and if it's less than or equal to the projectile speed (if it's smaller, that means the next tick it will go PAST the target - we don't want that), we deal damage.
Rather self-explanatory.
