I saw some damage over time system, so i wanted to create my own. The user has much more power over the effect. Actually there are 4 diffrent OverTime effects.

Damage
DamageAoe
State
StateAoe

so look into it ;)

The system requires TimerUtils by Vexorian so also give credits to him

TimerUtils:
JASS:
library_once TimerUtils
//*********************************************************************
//* TimerUtils (Blue flavor)
//* ----------
//*
//*  To implement it , create a custom text trigger called TimerUtils
//* and paste the contents of this script there.
//*
//*  To copy from a map to another, copy the trigger holding this
//* library to your map.
//*
//* (requires vJass)   More scripts: htt://www.wc3campaigns.net
//*
//* For your timer needs:
//*  * Attaching
//*  * Recycling (with double-free protection)
//*
//* set t=NewTimer()      : Get a timer (alternative to CreateTimer)
//* ReleaseTimer(t)       : Relese a timer (alt to DestroyTimer)
//* SetTimerData(t,2)     : Attach value 2 to timer
//* GetTimerData(t)       : Get the timer's value.
//*                         You can assume a timer's value is 0
//*                         after NewTimer.
//*
//* Blue Flavor: Slower than the red flavor, it got a 408000 handle id
//*             limit, which means that if more than 408000 handle ids
//*             are used in your map, TimerUtils might fail, this
//*             value is quite big and it is much bigger than the 
//*             timer limit in Red flavor.

so first the 4 diffrent calls:

DamageOverTime Single Target:
call OverTimeDamage(<unit caster>,<unit target>,<real duration>,<boolean pereodic>,<real interval>,<real damage>,<boolean considerArmor>,<string effectpath>,<string effect attach>)

example:
call OverTimeDamage(udg_u, udg_t,3.,false,0.,200,true,"Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Human\\HumanLargeDeathExplode\\HumanLargeDeathExplode.mdl","origin")

DamageOverTime AOE:
call OverTimeDamageAoe(<unit caster>,<real x>,<real y>,<real radius>,<boolexpr filter>,<boolean refresh or not>,< real duration>,<boolean pereodic>,<real interval>,<real value>,<boolean ConsiderArmor>,<string sfxpath>,<string attach>)

example:
call OverTimeDamageAoe(udg_t,GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc()),GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc()),400,Condition(function filter),false,10,true,2,100,true,"Objects\\Spawnmodels\\Human\\HumanLargeDeathExplode\\HumanLargeDeathExplode.mdl","origin")

StateOverTime Single Target:
call OverTimeState(<unit caster>,<unit target>,<real duration>,<boolean pereodic>,<real interval>,<unitstate>,<real value>,<string effectpath>,<string effect attach>)

example:
call OverTimeState(udg_u, udg_t,5.,true,1.,UNIT_STATE_LIFE,100,"Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\HolyBolt\\HolyBoltSpecialArt.mdl","origin")

StateOverTime AOE:
call OverTimeStateAoe(<real x>,<real y>,<real radius>,<boolexpr filter>,<boolean refresh or not>, <real duration>,<boolean pereodic>,<real interval>,<real value>,<unitstate>,<string sfxpath>,<string attach>)

example:
call OverTimeStateAoe(GetLocationX(GetSpellTargetLoc()),GetLocationY(GetSpellTargetLoc()),400,Condition(function filter),true, 10,true,1,25,UNIT_STATE_MANA,"Abilities\\Spells\\Items\\AIma\\AImaTarget.mdl","chest")


So pls give feedback and credits if you use this system ;)
