Slowing an unit with a trigger (+Buff)

[Exum]

Hi, i want to make a new frost spell (based on the frozen orb of diablo 2).
I know one spell like this has already been created on the hive workshop but it is in jass, and i want to make my own one

So here is my question : how to slow units (with buff) with a trigger ? (In GUI).

Thanks,

Exum

Create a dummy unit with some ability which has the buff, Hide it, and issue it to cast the buff on the targets.

looks like frost nova of lich, thats easy...but heres a glitch, create a spell based on sorcerer and just change the buff...no need for dummy units & triggers...

Use Dummy Unit
Use "Slow" ability as the base spell
Change Slow ability's data (Special Effect, Target, Cooldown, Tooltips, etc)
Create Dummy Unit, order it to cast the spell
A buff will appear and the slow takes effect along with cool effect (frost)
I made a test map for you, enjoy =D
But pretty much its effect lies in Object Editor, not on Trigger Editor
The slow thing and such, it belongs to Object Editor
Btw, mckill was right
Just base it off Frost Nova spell, easy ?
You only need to modify the Buffs/Effects Tab for the buff

Thanks I think i'll use this kind of trigger.
I tryed to make Dummy Unit with Frost attack, but it don't work (why ? Good question)
I'll make a test map to show how i did, and why i can't base the spell on Frost nova (but i can give a dummy unit this spell...)

Here is my spell (I didn't add damages atm but it'll be easy)

Wait, the spell in the Trigger Editor, it's for, unit ? Not Hero right ?
Wait, WHAT... ?
I don't know what is the problem in your map, what seems to be the problem =.= ?

 

[Exum]

Yep it's an "unit" spell.
The problem is that when i test my map, units don't get slowed by the frozen orb (Dummy unit named "Cold attack" should slow enemis)

Every X seconds order Frozen Orb to cast Thunder Clap?

Every X seconds order Frozen Orb to cast Thunder Clap?

That could be a good idea but i prefer slowing only units damaged buy little frost things

Ok, I fixed it by placing buffs on the affected unit, enjoy =D
I base it off from Bloodlust, with negatified values =D
Slows 50% of Movement Speed and Attack Speed
