hi i was wondering how to set up a trigger to damage the caster as they cast blink, my theme is like self sacrifice to rip open a portal through space time to blink, and thus would like to have around about 15%/10%/5% max health for lvls 1/2/3 per blink used, if anyone can help me out then ty :)

Code: 
Blink
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell 
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Level of Your Spell for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
                Set DummyCaster1 = (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (casting unit) for % of (casting units) total health
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Level of Your Spell  for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
                        Set DummyCaster1 = (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to DummyCaster1
                        Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (casting unit) for for % of (casting units) total health
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Level of Divine Shield  for (Casting unit)) Equal to 3
                            Then - Actions
                                Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Casting unit)) facing Default building facing degrees

                                Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (casting unit) for % of (casting units) total health
                            Else - Actions

Something like that, a little different though, I'm not in WE. It also leaks so you'll want to use JASS.

Look up dummy caster tutorial, pretty helpful.

You don't have to "download" JASS, it's already built in the WE ;)
(Actually, it's the language that GUI code translates into :D)

To access JASS, you simply select any trigger, and then go to Edit -> Convert to Custom Text, and you can use JASS there ;)
(Though be careful, as once you've converted it, it can't reverted to GUI again...)

But anyways, you don't need to do any of that in this case, as there is a GUI action which will inject a single line of JASS code into the GUI code, and it's called "Custom Script", and looks like this:
Trigger:
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)


That line will clean up a leak created when you use a pooint without setting it to a variable, and then using that line of JASS to remove the leak (Read the tutorial that Aaronx provided for more information ;))

Anyways, here are the lines you leak on:
Code: 
Blink
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell 
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Level of Your Spell for (Casting unit)) Equal to 1
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at [COLOR="Red"](Position of (Casting unit))[/COLOR] facing Default building facing degrees
                Set DummyCaster1 = (Last created unit)
                Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (Casting unit) for % of (casting units) total health
            Else - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Level of Your Spell  for (Casting unit)) Equal to 2
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at [COLOR="Red"](Position of (Casting unit))[/COLOR] facing Default building facing degrees
                        Set DummyCaster1 = (Last created unit)
                        Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to DummyCaster1
                        Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (casting unit) for for % of (casting units) total health
                        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                            If - Conditions
                                (Level of Divine Shield  for (Casting unit)) Equal to 3
                            Then - Actions
                                Unit - Create 1 Dummy Bill (Custom Campaign) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at [COLOR="Red"](Position of (Casting unit))[/COLOR] facing Default building facing degrees
                                Set DummyCaster1 = (Last created unit)
                                Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to DummyCaster1
                                Unit - Order DummyCaster1 to damage (casting unit) for % of (casting units) total health
                            Else - Actions

Though, all that code can be simplified into this:
Trigger:
  • Blink
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
    • Actions
      • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x (1.00 - (0.80 + ((Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))) x 0.05)))))


And there are no leaks... ;)

Admittedly GUI is far less from perfect as far as leaks are concerned (due to BJ), but you are wrong. There is no need to use Jass for a simple spell like this one.
And your trigger is too complicated for a simple spell like this, as we already have a function given to us by blizzard:

Trigger:
  • Rift
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
    • Actions
      • Unit - Set life of (Casting unit) to ((Percentage life of (Casting unit)) - (20.00 - (5.00 x (Real((Level of Blink for (Casting unit)))))))%


Any questions, go ahead and ask. ^^

Edit: Darn you Komaqtion, you beat me to it :p

umm i cant do the last part in the trigger editor:

"Blink
Events
Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Blink
Actions
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - ((Max life of (Triggering unit)) x (1.00 - (0.80 + ((Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))) x 0.05)))))"

ive done unit- set life to value, what now?
