[Trigger] How to use Hashtable?

[Jay the Editor]

This is one of my spell that I currently working on it.
And so, there is a problem on deactivation of this spell.
I was told by someone (I forgot) that it can be solve by using Hashtable. Somehow, I just can't get it although I've read the tutorial several times. I'm stupid though. I asked him before to help me but he was busy with his thingy.
So, anyone can help?

Upon activation, Ignito turns into a fiery ball that can be control but lose 15/30/45/60 mana/sec. The fiery ball cause up to 8/16/24/32 damage/sec to all nearby enemies within 225 range of radius of the fiery ball (damage interval 4 times/sec). The fiery ball is invulnerable and has no collision.

[Pharaoh_]

Add the caster to a unit group and in the looping trigger, check if FF_caster[FF_index[3]] is in the Unit Group. If it is, make the actions, else decrease index. In the deactivation trigger, just remove the triggering unit from the Unit Group you initially added it into.
