that's not what I mean...

I mean, there are the spell based on replenish and essence of blight, these is autocast ability...

If i cast manualy(click the ability), the point of agility and strength are change..

But if i autocast the ability, it no affect(point of agility/strength not be changed)

My problem is there, I want when i autocast the ability, the point of agility/strength can be changed...

The auto-cast should be only dummy ability.
Once you catch the order of the Auto-cast ability, put that unit in a Unit Group and start the process.
If the order of the unit has turn to deactivate Auto-cast, remove the unit from Unit Group.

Assuming you're using base ability from Immolation;

• Auto Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(immolation))
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to UnitGroup
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(unimmolation))
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from UnitGroup
          • Else - Actions

• Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Hero - Modify Strength of (Picked unit): Add 10
        • Hero - Modify Agility of (Picked unit): Subtract 10

For the Agility Gain, use another base ability such as Essence of Blight or whatever, and make sure to catch its order first in order to use in the IF condition.

There are 2 base ability, if i use the same base ability (immolation) how it work???

You should check for the orders "replenish" (Replenish) and "replenishlife" (Essence of Blight).

Replenish

Essence of Blight

• Replenish
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (String((Issued order))) Equal to replenish
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify Intelligence of (Triggering unit): Add 1

• Replenish
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (String((Issued order))) Equal to replenishlife
  • Actions
    • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add 1

These are just example triggers, but they do work when autocast (and also when clicked on obviously).

How many levels do these "STR" and "AGI"-abilities have by the way?
I'm heavily against abilities with many levels and would recommend BonusMod if it's too high.
