it works, but i have 1 problem,
when i cast same spell on same target 2 or more times, it stacks :\
how can i make it not stack

like imagine spell unholy frenzy
you can cast it on multiple enemies and it doesn't stack, just refreshes


thx

What this spell do?
Why you use that Wait in end of trigger?

 

[3plX]

What this spell do?

damage over time

Why you use that Wait in end of trigger?

it damages every second, hits 10 times

 

[Laiev]

You cast the spell 2/more times without wait the 10 seconds?

 

[3plX]

You cast the spell 2/more times without wait the 10 seconds?

yeah, 1 sec. cooldown

 

[Laiev]

Because this, 5+5 = 10 = stack.
Util your loop over, the spell will stack.. now how to don't stack?

hmmm
You can use a buff to check it, or just add the target unit to a group and if a unit is in the group, do nothing, if a unit have the buff, do nothing.

Sorry for my bad english.

1. destroy the special effect right after you created it.
2. what is ShadowPowerss set to?
3. you cant use waits in a loop, atleast ont if you want it to stack

make it like this instand:

make a varrible , UnitGroup varrible called TempUnitGroup and a Unit varrible called TempUnit
Not. both of them must have array

event unit starts the effect of an ability
condition ability being cast equal to your ability
action add target unit of ability being cast to TempUnitGroup[player number of owner of triggering unit]
set cutsom value of target unit of ability being cast to 10
set TempUnit[player number of owner of triggering unit] = triggering unit

event every 1 second
condition none
action
for 1 to 5 (if you have 5 players)
      loop pick every unit in TempUnitGroup[for loop A] and do
                      loop if custom value of picked unit not equal to 0 
                              then order TempUnit[for loop A] to damage picked unitl YOUR DAMAGE
                              set custom value to cutsom value of pciked unit -1
                            else remove picked unit from TempUnitGroup[for loop A]

or something like that a bit sleepy right now :nuts:
not. if you didnt notic, its handwrghted so it doesnt look that great

limits: you can only have 1 casting unit for each player its not mui if i could write it down somewhat close to a real example

awww , i need mui

shadowpowerss is for ability that increases damage done by your spells

 

[Laiev]

Why don't use ability like poison of Warden to damage over time, just remove the slow if possible.

Don't stack and is MUI.

EDIT!:
found a major bug reupploading the new version



still same limits:
unit 1: caster owned by player 1
unit 2: caster owned by player 1
unit 3: caster owned by player 2
taget 1: player 2
taget 2 player 2

if unit 1 casts dot on target 1 and then unit 2 cast dot on target 2, unit 2 will get credits for both kills if both units die.
however this will only happend IF both unit 1 and unit 2 belongs to the same player else it will work as it should

 

[3plX]

here is a dot version i did right no

it should be mui
edit, it leaks give me a sec, done

limits:
unit 1: caster owned by player 1
unit 2: caster owned by player 1
unit 3: caster owned by player 2
taget 1: player 2
taget 2 player 2

if unit 1 casts dot on target 1 and then unit 2 cast dot on target 2, unit 2 will get credits for both kills if both units die.
however this will only happend IF both unit 1 and unit 2 belongs to the same player else it will work as it should

thx
