Call of Crystal

Ok so I made this spell that is intended to target all nearby neutral hostile enemies and not only put a special effect over their heads but damage them by 50 however the damage factor is not working. Anyone have any suggestions?

Trigger:

Fledermaus	1. You can't use Waits in a "Pick every unit in XXX" 2. You're actually setting the picked units life to -50, not dealing 50 damage to it. BIG difference. Replace the Wait and Set life with this: Trigger: Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 50.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Universal

Well, you should never deal damage by setting a unit's life with a negative value. Also, you're setting their HP to -50, not subtracting 50 from it.

Creating special effects like that in succession will most likely lead to memory leaks... Can't tell at the moment, the GUI isn't registering. And, I think what you're doing is picking the first unit, waiting 4 seconds, dealing damage and then picking the second unit, waiting 4 seconds again... It's very likely that "Casting Unit" isn't being referenced correctly.

Also, you should really re-trigger this. What's the point of adding them to the "CoC" group?

EDIT: Argh. So slow.

BuRnInSpartan	its working perfectly actually. everything is going great. all units in coc get the special effect and get damaged properly.
