Time Stop in TFT?

Hey everyone!
I am trying to put darky's Time Stop spell on a hero as an ultimate, but when I downloaded the map from these archives, it failed to run (using The Frozen Throne, anyway.) I was wondering if anyone has already transferred such a spell to a Frozen Throne map, and if so, how exactly would one program it using the triggers and the Object Editor to sponser the ability? I am quite a newbie when it comes to triggers, so please forgive my ignorance. Any aid you guys could provide would be wonderful though.

event - generic unit finshes casting a spell
conditions - spell = (dummy spell, i like roar)
action - [whatever special effect actions you want]
for each unit in playable map area do if unit is not equal to casting unit do pause picked unit.
start timer TimeStop as a one shot timer that will expire in 30 seconds

event - Timer Timestop Expires
action - unpause all units

this will work if only one unit can cast it at a given time... i'm guessing that would be the situation. if not, reply and ill tell you how to do it for multiple units.

what if a unit is spawned inside the time stop?
