Wow. This seem way more complicated then I thought! Still thank you for the reply.Despite this seeming simple, the necessary approach is actually a little complicated. Why? Because Firebolt has a travel time (doesn't damage instantly), and there is no native wc3 way to tell which ability or attack caused damage. Which unit caused damage isn't hard, but knowing what it did to cause that damage is literally impossible without a workaround in advance. The workaround one uses is to create a dummy unit and cause that unit to cast a special version of Firebolt; when a unit dies and the killing unit had this firebolt spell you can be certain it was a dummy caster that killed the target and therefore the kill was due to the Firebolt spell (since the dummy caster could never otherwise kill anything).
In your case it's a little more complicated because in addition to knowing if the kill was due to Firebolt you also need to know who the original caster was in order to heal them. (The original caster won't get kill credit on the score screen, either, though they will get kill gold and xp as long as the dummy caster that gets the kill is owned by them. It's possible to get around this with a damage detection system but that just makes all of this more complicated.) You'll need to store the caster and the dummy caster in a pair of parallel unit arrays so you can 'store' the caster's data along with the dummy. You could also do this with a Hashtable but understanding how that works is a little bit more complicated.
