Trigger problem... need help

[Seppuku89]

hi i have a problem again...
i had made an ability, which should copy another ability but i have no idea how to trigger
it should copy an ability beeing cast during the effect time of my ability...
after cooldown of my own ability the copied one should been removed so i can use my own again

i tried it the following way:

My Trigger
Events
- Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
Conditions
- ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to MyHero) or ((Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to MyHero(Demon Form))
- (Ability being cast) Equal to MyAbility
Actions
- ...

but i have found no action to copy a spell casted during my ability
onlything i have found was "Unit - Add ability..." but i think with this one i can't do what i want to do...

so please help me

do like this:

-when a unit starts an ability and is under the effect of your spell (preferably a not pasive aura to be good) then store his ability in a variable and then give your hero that ability and after one use remove it as normally

sry but i dont understand what you mean...

no other unit is under the effect of my spell, only the unit which has the spell

when the ability is activated only my own unit is under its effect
but when another hero casts an ability, this one should be copied by my hero...
show me the trigger you thought i should use, maybe i understand it better

try to do like AJalex says:

TRIGGER 1
-Event: a unit starts the effect of a spell
-Condition: ability being cast = your invented "magnet" spell
-Effect: add the ability "stupid aura which does nothing" to casting unit
-Effect 2: wait 10 game-time seconds
-Effect 3: remove "stupid aura which does nothing" from casting unit


then deselect all the triggers, press Ctrl+B and create a variable of type "Spell" named BUBBA


TRIGGER 2
-Event: a unit starts the effect of a spell
-Condition: target of ability being cast has the ability "stupid aura which does nothing"
-Effect: Set BUBBA = ability being cast
-Effect 2: Add the ability BUBBA to target of ability being cast
