stun and DoT

[Arathor]

How do i make a spell stun target, and make it damage unit over time, only by using triggers and not using storm bolt to stun?

It depends. Do you want it Multi-Unit Instanceability?

Use the channel spell as a base ability, set it to targeted point.
Create a trigger, create a dummy unit (with BASH set to 100%) next to the targeted unit of the ability being cast.
Order the dummy unit to attack the targeted unit of ability being cast.
Create a different dummy with the SHADOW STRIKE ability and order it to cast it on the targeted unit of ability being cast.

Cleanup leaks.

That'll do, too.

Does the damage has to depend on a specific stat? (STR, AGI, INT, anything else)

Thank you LordDz
The stun works great, but yea as Wietlol says i want the DoT to scale with agility. How do i do that?

Then you probably want to use real triggering for that.

My Effect Over Time System (link in signature) is in my opinion the most advanced solution to these things.
There is an in-build expansion for damage over time to make the use of that relatively often used feature easier.

You should look at the examples in that map and try to make this one.
Because you already have a buff, (the stun one,) you can use that buff and no buff holder to link that buff to the damage.
