What am i doing wrong here?

I want to add a specific stat or spell when the summoned unit is alive and it gets removed when its dead.
This need to work with differents summons, just as long a summoned unit is alive for this char the stat bonus will be there.

  • Demon Bond
    • Events
      • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
      • (Level of Demon Bond (WL) for (Triggering unit)) Not equal to 0
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of living Imp units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to 1
        • Then - Actions
          • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add 20
        • Else - Actions
Thanks in advance!
-Dominic

The problem with your trigger is that you're trying to reference the triggering unit, which doesn't exist because you're using a periodic event instead of unit event. In this case, 'Triggering Unit' will return null, your condition will return false and the trigger actions will never run.

Assuming this is for only one hero, store the specific hero into a unit variable and use the variable instead of 'Triggering Unit' in your trigger above. That's it!

Also, you can use [TRIGGER][/TRIGGER] tags instead of [CODE][/CODE] tags to post triggers. There's also this guide if you want to check it out but you probably don't need it: How to easily post triggers.

P.S.: Damn these new lists; can't add text directly beneath them without turning into a new bullet point! **RAWR**
 
True. If you want use Passive ability with cooldown - Best method! You should use this trigger.
  • Trigger
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Level of Demon Bond (WL) for (Triggering unit)) Not equal to 0
    • Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of living Imp units owned by (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to 1
        • Then - Actions
          • Hero - Modify Strength of (Triggering unit): Add 20
        • Else - Actions
          • Do nothing
If you want fix your trigger you should do something like this.
  • Trigger 1
    • Events
      • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
              • (Level of Demon Bond (WL) for (Picked unit)) Not equal to 0
              • (Number of living Imp units owned by (Owner of (Picked unit))) Equal to 1
            • Then - Actions
              • Hero - Modify Strength of (Picked unit): Add 20
            • Else - Actions
              • Do nothing

But with this trigger does it not add 20 str every time the hero summons the imp unit?

Yes it will and the second trigger will add 20 strength every 2 seconds as long as there is an Imp alive.

They always say you should create spells that are MUI but if you only need this for a one specific hero (Eg: a boss in a campaign), then try the following triggers. If you need them to be MUI, we can work that out later.
You can remove the learn trigger and make the passive ability based on Attribute Bonus (Aamk) which can provide the bonus strength instead.

  • Demonic Bond Learn
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
    • Conditions
      • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Demonic Bond
      • (Level of Demonic Bond for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
    • Actions
      • Set Demon King = (Triggering unit)
      • Hero - Modify Strength of Demon King: Add 20
  • Demonic Bond Death
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Dies
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Imp
      • (Number of units in UnitGroupImp) Equal to 0
      • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Owner of Demon King)
    • Actions
      • Hero - Modify Strength of Demon King: Subtract 20
  • Demonic Bond Summon
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
    • Conditions
      • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
      • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to (Owner of Demon King)
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to UnitGroupImp
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Number of units in UnitGroupImp) Equal to 1
        • Then - Actions
          • Hero - Modify Strength of Demon King: Add 20
        • Else - Actions

      • Set Imp_Types[2] = Imp (Level 3)

If' I'm not mistaken you can't get ID by using of Key(Unit) because it works only in 1.24 or less version
