Is it possible to make the above spell ONLY hurt hostile enemies?

Never use "Unit - Damage Area". As you have noticed, you cannot properly filter the targets there and it may even create a problem for mac users as this function is not safe. Pick the units in a group (there is a "range around location" pick type) and you can add a condition function. Then use "Unit - Damage Target" to sequentially damage the picked units.

Also, choose appropriate thread titles that acquire the basic problem.

I was going to give you plus rep until I read the last part... Seriously.

Just to say, the thread title is pretty much correct, because they must refer to the problem that afflicts the user.
As the problem w/ his spell was that it was "hurting his own units", the title isn't perfect, but it's not completly wrong either.

Don't use waits. Use periodic event or a timer.
