Spell Impact

[Candyapplecorn]

Hi! I picked up world editor four days ago, and have been teaching myself non-stop via online tutorials and examples. Today I learned about leaks, and have been replacing every on-the-fly point with a variable (which gets deleted with "call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint )"). I hope this shows the scope of my small skills.
Anyways, here's my question.
My unit casts a spell based off of storm bolt, which means the missile is homing. I have a trigger set up to deal damage based off of my strength. The problem is, how do I make the trigger execute (and do damage) at the time of impact, and not when "a unit starts the effect of an ability"?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Wait distance/missle speed.

For example, your Bolt's speed is 800 per second, get the distance between the caster and the target, and do "Wait distanceValue/800 seconds".

thanks

thanks Ghostwolf! your answer makes perfect sense.
edit:
that took me 30 mins but when I got it to work, I felt SO SMART!!!
now I have to clean "leaks"

Wouldn't that pose a problem when the target is running away? Wouldn't it just be easier to wait until the buff is detected from the storm bolt? (even if it only stays there for .1 secs)
