> a better way to use stuns in custom spells

Well if you're going to use a stun spell purely for the purpose of stunning a unit,
keep it at level 1, and change the stun duration to the highest value you need.

Then, with triggers, you can remove the buff after a certain amount of time
that relates to the level of the spell being cast by the caster.

For ex, let's assume I wanted a Storm Bolt to stun for 6 seconds max.
I cast my triggered spell, at level 3, and I have the buff removed after 4.5 secs.

My triggered spell could reach level 4, but, to be logical and "even", 6(max stun dur)/spell max lvl = 1.5,
so 1.5/3/4.5/6 would be the math being the stun duration/lvl.

Well that was a fairly plain ex, but I'm sure you've got an idea now.

Brilliant idea :x

Small problem though, when using this, if the unit was re-stunned while being stunned, the second stun will be terminated pre-emptively.

E.G.: I stun someone for 1 second with VW, then he gets stormbolted for 5 seconds right after that. The stormbolt stun only lasts 1 second since my trigger removes the stun... (or can this be fixed by creating a custom "stunned buff" and checking for that one?)

Maybe. I can't say for sure atm as I am uncertain.
(Try it).

If that fails, then I guess you'll have to do the whole thing the slow-way.
