Use Immolation as the base ability and set Targets allowed to self, so that you won't need triggering to determine activation/deactivation.
If you want stats-based damage, e.g. Intelligence x 2, then use Immolation as the base ability, remove damage and AoE and trigger:

• Tr
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Issued order) Equal to immolation
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to SelfDamageGroup
      • Hashtable - Save (Real(Intelligence x 2)) as Key(damage) of (Key(Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
      • Trigger - Turn on Periodic Damage <gen>
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Issued order) Equal to unimmolation
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from SelfDamageGroup
          • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of (Key(Triggering unit)) in Hashtable
        • Else - Actions

Hashtable action is the action to save the damage to deal the hero to themselves. Don't forget to initialize the hashtable as of:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
  • Set Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

The Periodic Damage is the trigger to run every 1.00 second, that deals the damage to the hero. Check if the SelfDamageGroup is empty (Boolean comparison - Unit Group - Unit Group is empty); if it is, Trigger - Turn off (This trigger) = (Periodic Damage <gen>), else, Pick every unit in SelfDamageGroup and Set DamageLoad = (Load (damage) of (Key(Picked unit)) from Hashtable) [Real variable] and Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing DamageLoad of attack type Spells and Damage type Normal.

+rep

EDIT: cant find
i got to Issued order) Equal to (cant find how to get Immpolation there)

• (Issued order) Equal to (==) Night Elf Demon Hunter - Activate Immolation

It's a string comparison, for the first part of the comparison go to Convert order to string and then pick (Issued order) and for the second part type "immolation" (without quotations).

Double Post i know but this dosent work

• Kobolt CandleOn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (==) immolation
      • Then - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl

I cut trigger
IT dosent show the Special Effect ower target means (Issued order) Equal to (==) immolation ISENT WORKING

 

[defskull]

Put the Condition in the Conditions place (below Events , above Actions)

EDIT:
But using that action alone can also lets out SFX (don't know why your trigger doesn't work)
Here, a test map is attached (don't mind the name)

Yes nice i see how but now i need the Immolation OR i changed to Phoenix and ... still dosent work i need
(issued order) Equal to (==) Phoenix
this didnt work ... and i click spell phoenix

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (==) (Order(Phoenix))
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Point = (Position of (Triggering unit))
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)
      • Else - Actions

There are 3 types of Issued Order:

1. Target Object (targets unit)
2. Target Point (targets ground location)
3. No Target (activation of: immolation, searing arrows, frost arrows, etc)

All of these responds to different Event, so if you use Searing Arrows and relate it to Target Object event, it will NEVER work

So, use No Target event to relate with Searing Arrows

A test map is attached
There are 3 heroes in that test map, try all of them
A string order will be shown above caster when you cast any spell
Use that string order for the Condition

No, test map is my addiction
Or maybe I should re-name my user account to TestMapIzFun

Also, it gives the most clear expression of what are we talking about instead of just giving theories
