gain no exp problem

[bio-zombie]

hello, i need help on one of my spell. When i cast this trigger spell on a target, and when the damages is higher than the target's health, they just killed without give me exp. what is the problem with the trigger? or should i add anything to the trigger?

here is the trigger:

events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to my spell

actions
Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to ((Life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - ((Real((Strength of (Casting unit) (Exclude bonuses)))) x 0.60))

its because the trigger is killing the unit, not the caster hero. use havve unit do damage or something like that, seen it before

oh, i forgot to ask... how can i make this an AoE spell with trigger?

 

[leetslay]

just use

Unit Group - Pick all units in 512 range of (target of ability cast) and whatever conditions of the matching unit
unit set life of (picked unit) equal to 0 (or whatever)

k, i got the AoE one...

now for the top trigger, i changed to this:

events
Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to my spell

actions
If ((Level of Blaze Storm for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1) then do (Unit - Order (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast) for (((Real((Strength of (Casting unit) (Exclude bonuses)))) x 0.60) + 100.00) using attack type Spells and damage type Normal.) else do (Do nothing)

i got the exp, but when i cast on the unit with lower health than my spell's attack, they died, but i didn't used any mana, and the spell didn't started to cooldown, what is wrong with the trigger? or should i add anything?

What's wrong is: "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability"

you should change it to "Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability"

set life of unit is a horrible action to use if you want a unit or player to get credit for the kill. use
make unit damage target area
make unit damage target unit
actions for a unit to damage a unit and the killing unit/player will get credit for it.

What's wrong is: "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability"

you should change it to "Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability"

unit begins casting an ability is wrong because it will go off right when you click it before the spell is cast meaning the trigger would go off and kill the unit before the ability is even used so the target is dead and it doesnt cast the spell so no mana is used.

unit finishes castin an ability is wrong too because the unit can move before its "finished" casting and its possible to cast the ability with out the trigger ever going off.

what you should use is "Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability"
