Poison w/ Triggers

[Capndrs]

So i have an ability that isnt based on a poisoning ability.
It is based off the crushing wave ability and it gives a buff called 'poisoned' to the hit units (i hope)

Anyways, I have played around a bit, but how would I make it so that when the unit has the buff it loses 20 health a second.

What would the trigger event be?
How would it detect all the units effected?
Trigger?

a periodic trigger which check if X unit has buff?

>>How would it detect all the units effected?
He might want a bit more information about this than check if X unit has buff.

Anyway, you would run a periodic trigger that picks every unit in the map with your buff. Something like this.

• trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Temp_Group = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff Your Buff) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Temp_Group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Cause (Picked unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 20.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Poison
    • Custom script: call RemoveGroup (udg_Temp_Group)

Note that if the unit dies from the poison, the unit won't get the kill.
