Ideas on how to make this spell MUI

I'm currently going through the spells in my map and changing the original basic triggers, in GUI to Jass with MUI.

This spell is cast in an aoe on units, then anyone who comes near any of the units with the buff while the duration has not expired, will get a dummy version of the spell cast on them (which is the same but with a shorter duration)
Basically its like a fire that spreads between units.
My problem is that the caster is the one that does damage to the units, and is stored in a global variable, and I don't know how to make each instance of the buff distinct for the correct caster.
Could anyone with a suggestion please help?
Heres my code:

(Please don't worry about leaks. I get rid of them properly in the MUI stage.)
PHP:
Immolate Cast
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Immolate (ODW)
    Actions
        Set ImmolateCaster = (Casting unit)

It has occurred to me that I could make the unit with the buff each time, the casting unit, but then the original caster would not get bounty etc.

PHP:
Immolate
    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set TInt = 0
        Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Immolation (ODW)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set TInt = (TInt + 1)
                Set ImmolateUnitArray[TInt] = (Picked unit)
        For each (Integer A) from 1 to TInt, do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Custom script:   set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
                Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 200.00 of (Position of ImmolateUnitArray[(Integer A)]) matching ((Matching unit) Not equal to ImmolateUnitArray[(Integer A)])) and do (Actions)
                    Loop - Actions
                        Set Position[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of ImmolateCaster) at Position[1] facing Default building facing degrees
                        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Position[1])
                        Unit - Add a 5.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Add Immolate (ODW)(DUMMY) to (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Set level of Immolate (ODW)(DUMMY) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Immolate (ODW) for ImmolateCaster)
                        Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral Alchemist - Acid Bomb (Picked unit)

The most common way is to store the caster using a local handle vars system such as KaTTanas or CSCache. You might wanna learn more about JASS before taking on those systems though.

    Hmm, how do I change my signature?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    You can get there if you click the bell icon (alerts) and choose preferences from the bottom, signature will be in the menu on the left there https://www.thehelper.net/account/preferences

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
