[Spell] need help with custom DoT spell

[waterlong]

so im making this spell where i shadow strike someone and it heals me a bunch of times over the duration like the spell vampiric touch from WoW, the whole thing works fine but if i shadow strike the same unit twice the healing stacks but the damage dosent, i dont want either to stack.

Using `Wait` is really bad, instead you should create another trigger with a periodic event.

Everytime you cast a spell you should turn off the periodic trigger and start it again - it should take care of the stacking problem.

how do i tell it to repeat 10 times?

In your periodic trigger you could create a integer variable and check if it's equal to 10 and if it is then turn it off.

thanks im new to triggers :s , now im just stuck on how to restart the heals if i cast it on the same unit or stop if the target dies but still get lots if the dot is on multiple units.

If you want your spell to work on multiple units check this out:
