    - 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

Hey. look at this link Passive ability with cooldown - Best method!
That is better!

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**

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

- 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_Last = 2

        If - Conditions
        
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal Imp_Types[(Integer A)]
        
        Then - Actions

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

I just replicated @Tasyen's triggers and they work fine...

Its the Opposite Hashtables were implemented 1.24 so you need 1.24 or above.
