Whats wrong?

[Chickay]

Hi Im making a spell like frostbolt which damages & slows the targets movement speed and attack speed. First i based it on Frostbolt, but couldnt find out how to apply a buff/debuff when someone is hit by it. Then i made this trigger and based it on slow:


Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

(Ability being cast) Equal to Frostbolt

Unit - Set life of (Attacked unit) to ((Life of (Attacked unit)) - 100.00)


When i do this, it damages the caster and not the target, even though the target gets the slow debuff, i really cant figure out whats wrong, please help

(Attacked unit) and (Attacking unit) do not apply for an Ability event. Also, it should be better to use a damaging action; here's the trigger:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frostbolt
• Actions
  • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (target unit of ability being cast) dealing (number) damage of attack type (attack type) and damage type (damage type)

The trigger is: Unit - Damage Target.
I also think that using "triggering unit" instead of "casting unit" will make it faster.
Also remember that, if your spell is a projectile-based one, this trigger will make the caster damaging the target before the projectile could hit it.

if you take set life, its not good, better take... order unit to damage a target ... i think so its named in gui, and if u take this don't say (attacked unit) but (target unit of ability being cast).

and your second problem of adding a slow buff, just add another set of actions where u create a dummy unit and then get the dummy unit to frost nova the target
