Well I have been working on my murloc campaign and I have problems with a couple basic skills... They seemed so easy to make, but I'm not fully familiarized with how every trigger works.

#1 Skill Description: The first skill uses the Frost Wave skill but it goes further and pushes enemies back to be hit by the final damage.

Problem: I got the Pushing back to work, but it only works on the unit targeted since I used the variable (Target of Ability being cast). I do not want this I want all the units hit by the wave to be pushed back...

#2 Skill Description: The second skill allows a unit to freeze itself for 10 seconds and units nearby get severely hurt and frozen aswell, after the unit is finished freezing itself it becomes really cold and it makes units that attack it really cold aswell.

Problem(leak):I wanted to add a special effect to the unit showing that it's freezing itself, I used the freezing one that the Frost Wyvern has. After it has waited 9 seconds I placed an action to delete the special effect. Unfortunately if another unit uses the skill at the same time only one of the special effect gets deleted and the other stays there...

Can anyone help? I would really Appreciate it :)

If the skill is already in MUI, then you can make a dummy skill, create a dummy to cast it for each enemy unit, trigger the push back effect.

Instead of using trigger to create the special effect, use buff instead.

Looking at your description of your trigger, I have an impression that your hero abilities are not MUI. Please ask more questions!! =)

Use a local to store it if it is within the same thread. If you use a timer then use a hashtable.
