Can someone optimize, debug, give tips about this spell?

This is my very first code in Jass.

What the spell does is affect all units in an AoE. It has a duration of 12 seconds and a cooldown of 6. Whenever the affected units lose mana, they either lose or gain MS depending on their affiliation (lose MS for enemies and gain MS for allies). It's actually not working right now and I don't know what to do. Please help me!

I don't have much time, so I'll just say this for now:
If you want to make JASS spells, I seriously suggest you use vJass.
I'll have a look at the code later tonight.

Very brief look:

    return true
endfunction

That is fine, but return GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A003' is simpler.

You're missing a loop, and you're not setting integer i before calling it.

Oh dear. Ok, with the rest of the code, the best way to run a periodic check is to use a timer. When a timer is started, you can assign it a function to run. That timer will run that function when it reaches 0, and if the timer is made periodic it will keep looping every <time> seconds.

I don't really know what to do. Seems like most of the code is wrong =_=...

First, look at some tutorials. Make the spell in GUI, convert it to (v)JASS, and just clean up the code.

Have a look at how you can change things.

Make sure you have the JASS NewGen Pack.

I have a question: How do I store information of each unit in a group which will be used as reference for a timer?

Structs (vJass) is what you need i guess.
Have a look:

you didnt initialize i in exertion002 by the way.

You're new to this, you can't get it right on the first try, it sounds like a fairly complex spell. Could you describe exactly what you want the spell to do? Then we can go over it and together explore what the best way to make it would be.

Sorry for the late reply. Yeah, it's a bit complex.

Here's the whole ability.

Description: The White Sage strengthens the connection between the body and the will of his allies and enemies. All mana reductions during the duration of this skill cause either an increase or decrease in movement speed that stacks three times.
Duration: 12
Skill Type: Active, Area Targeted, Buff, Debuff, Minor Disable
Casting Range: 800
AoE: 350/400/450/500
Cooldown: 15/12/9/6
Mana Cost: 80/90/100/110
Level 1 - 3% movement speed change, 350 AoE
Level 2 - 6% movement speed change, 400 AoE
Level 3 - 9% movement speed change, 450 AoE
Level 4 - 12% movement speed change, 500 AoE
Framekwork:
Targets with this status gain or lose (allies gain and enemies lose) movement speed whenever they lose mana. The move speed variations lasts 5 seconds and stacks 3 times (refreshes) maximum. Casting this same ability to a target already inflicted refreshes the duration.

Thanks.

Well, first of all you'd need to properly code the buff behaviour (recast refreshes duration, dispel removes it etc.). A system exists that already does all this for you, I highly recommend it.

Then, in a periodic trigger, you would check the current mana of the unit and compare it to the unit's previous mana, if it has decreased then apply the effect. The system mentioned above has a built in periodic event for the buffs that you could use, as well as a custom data field for each buff where you could store a struct containing the unit's last mana value as well as the current slow/speed level.
