Parasite ability not working

[Pigmassacre]

Alright, so here's the deal.

I have an ability based on parasite in my map, with only numbers changed, no triggers or anything. Thing is, when I try to use the ability on a target (I have Air, Enemy, Ground, Neutral and Organic allowed as targets) I can see the spell missile going off, but when it comes in contact with the target unit no buff is applied (and therefore the ability does nothing).

Can ANYONE figure out what the problem is? I tried the basic Parasite spell and that one works, but my slightly changed one doesn't. It has the same missile graphic as the attack missile graphics the hero it's on has, if that changes anything.

Attached image shows the custom spell values I have.

I wanne see the whole spell...

Fair enough!

Summoned unit duration cannot be less than 3 seconds.
Make it 5 for example, it should work.

 

[Pigmassacre]

Doesn't seem to work, set it to 5 seconds but no go... Can it have something to do with the unit spawned? I set it to a dummy unit with locust because I don't want it to look like a unit has actually spawned from the spell.

Try using it without locust? If it's locust that's the pain, just remove the unit with triggers.

Hmm, problem seemed to have been fixed by removing the stacking damage and movement option... Too bad, because that's the whole point of the ability for me. Is there any base ability that you can reapply several times to stack DPS?
