I need this spell to work like a sort of life drain except the damage is based on strength and it needs to damage the caster as well. The spell works just fine but for some reason it never deals any damage to the target. It needs to deal damage to the target equal to 2 times the strength of the hero and the hero needs to take damage equal to its strength. Damaging the hero works just fine. Any help is much appreciated!

Well, Warcraft 3 waits and loops just don't work correctly.

Does that have to work only once at the same time?
From your Code i assume that only one Unit is able to use this Spell, cause you Refer to this preplace Death Knight.

Yes, only one unit is able to cast this spell with a cooldown of 30 seconds.

This trigger is so naive.
Here is my template which allow all units to cast the life transfer not only one.
It doesn't deal damage to non-heroes because your request must depend on target's strength.
Mechanism is the target deals 2x of target's str and the caster deal 1x of target's str.
How to import manual is included.
