Vampiric Kiss. <Spell help>

[Cateater]

<sigh> I have another problem. i am trying to make a spell called vampiric kiss. essentially it drains the life of the unit and transfers it to the caster, kind of like life drain except it isnt a channeling spell. It is because of this similarity that i based it off drain life but it wont work. it will deal the right amount of dmg but wont trasfer any of it to the caster. Does ne1 have suggestions on what needs to done or a better spell to base vampiric kiss off of?

make a trigger registering the spell event(like always)
then use a periodic timer and a struct storing caster and target as well as amount(e.g. 75.*GetUnitAbilityLevel(caster,id))
let the timer run and every intervall u have a callback function which takes the arguments from the struct(TimerUtils needed for this)
then go for

SetUnitState( target , UNIT_STATE_LIFE , GetUnitState( target , UNIT_STATE_LIFE) - amount)
SetUnitState( caster , UNIT_STATE_LIFE , GetUnitState( caster , UNIT_STATE_LIFE) + amount)
