How do I easily make a trigger that when u cast a spell the target gets damage, and not that I do damage before the missile actually hit the target. How do I make this? Help would be nice

Can be either GUI or JASS

You mean like bullet from a gun? There is a bunch of systems here in "spells" forum, all you need to do is search

You want to deal damage via trigger that launches when an ability is being cast?
You would have to get the distance between the caster and the target and then divide it by speed of your spell missile. Then do a wait action with the value you got from the calculation.

I had the same problem, using: "Unit begins/finishes casting" ain't precise but the "Unit starts the effect of ability" is precise.
So example base your spell on shadow strike or the storm bolt just use:

• Events - Unit starts the effect of ability
• Conditions - Ability being cast equal to *your ability*
• Actions - Unit cause casting unit to damage *target* dealing *x* damage

It will trigger as soon the missile strikes the enemy/friend but i think you first need to store the *target* as :"Event response - Target of ability being cast" in a second :"Unit begins casting" trigger.
Should work as a charm

That doesn't effect when the missile collides with the target.

If you want to make it in GUI, I wouldn't recommend it, but if you do:

Check the position of the missile (which is a dummy unit) every 0.03 seconds. If the number of nearby units matching condition( Enemies of (Owner of Unit (MissileUnit))) > 0 then: Effects.

Also, update the position of the unit.

But just check out the spell section, for a better version.

Actualy if he is asking for how to check when the missile colides with the first unit then no(probably didn't understood his problem)
