Help with a triggered spell

[b_ray210]

Hey guys so I made this spell but it really doesnt do anything at all. It is supposed to deal damage (80/150/250/350) in 2 instances over (5.5/5/4.5/4) seconds. Can anyone see the problem. The spell is based off of Channel and is a unit target type of castpoint.

Changing "Triggering unit" to "Casting unit" is my first guess. Also, make sure your dummy either has mana or the dummy spell doesn't require mana; you wouldn't believe how many times that's caused me problems that took an hour to find.

Yeah I know what you mean, it's always the stupid thnigs that are impossible to find but I changed all "triggering unit"s in the trigger to casting unit and I made sure that it has 0 cooldown and 0 manacost but it still doesnt do anything. The special effects arent even created.

@Cheddar

NEVER use Casting Unit... if u see what Casting Unit in jass is (a BJ) which are a simple Triggering Unit...


@b_ray210

use gui tag better then text wall

When something doesn't work, I usually throw in Game - Display Message around the trigger until I figure out where the actions stop. Works better if you have the string display the name of the caster, just in case that's not being picked up.

Also, there's a 99% chance that this isn't your problem, but is your trigger disabled?
