You will have to add a delay until the spell hits the target.
In the Object Editor you can see the proyectile movement speed of your ability.
That speed is the distance the proyectile will travel per second. I mean, if it has a speed movement of 1000, it will travel a distance of 1000 per second.
If you want to know how much time will take the proyectile to reach the target, you'll have to make a simple arithmetic operation.
Just divide the distance between the caster and the target by the speed of the proyectile. That'll be the time you have to wait. This should be a very precise timing, and I heard that using the function "Wait" is inaccurate, so I recommend you to find another way to create the delay.

Hope I helped.

You must code the movement of the projectily yourself, or just make the damage be applied in object editor.

Can someone show example?

For example Make a dummy, Give him the hammer model then. Make the unit move towards the unit and when the unit reachs desired unit cause damage.

In StarCraft II you can add an event that fires when the missile effect impacts on the target and runs another effect. In WarCraft III sadly you have to use buggy missile detection algorithms that have huge code overhead and are not always reliable. This is just one of the reasons why people should consider moving to StarCraft II.
