Ofcourse... the unit has a limited time between two frost novas. How about setting the unit's cast animation to 0.00? Same for cooldown of frost nova. Or you could forget frost nova and just damage the unit properly. Ooooor... even better. Use an AoE Damaging spell for different AoEs. The only problem is calculating the damage. Because doing less damage on large AoE and more on tighter means multiple damaging spells on the closer units. So you have to calculate the damage really well. Fortunately, the formula for you is simple. Here is how it goes:

a - damage that affects central units (maximum damage.

1. Stomp that affects ALL ranges (even far ones) and does a/4 damage.
2. Stomp that affects only those from the first three ranges. Does a/4 damage.
3. Stomp that affects only the first two ranges. Does a/4 damage.
4. Stomp that affects only the closest units. Does a/4 damage.

Hope it helps!

OFCOUSE THIS DOES NOT WORK!

• Unit Group - Pick every unit in TP_Group and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • Unit - Add Time Portal damage (Center) to TP_Effect
    • Unit - Set level of Time Portal damage (Center) to (Level of Time Portal for (casting unit))
    • Unit - Order TP_Effect to Undead Lich - Frost Nova (Picked unit)
    • Wait 0.25 seconds.
    • Unit - Remove Time Portal damage (Center) from TP_Effect

You use a waits inside pick every unit in group actions and thus the entire trigger is aborted. You can NOT use waits inside a pick every unit in group action, thats just how WC3 works and you can not change that. You also did it many times. . .

You will have to remove them for the slighest hope of making it work.
