Alright, I already know what actions the trigger is going to do, but I am still stumped as to how I can get the events and conditions to work out. Basically the skill is cast on someone, than all the actions take place on the someone. So far for the Events i got 'Unit - a unit starts casting an ability' and 'Unit - a unit is issued an order targeting an object'. Then for conditions I have '(Ability being cast) Equal to XXX' Then I tried doing the order comparison, but when I do the issued order is equal to ___ I don't know what to put there. Do I just type like cast "XXX" or is it an entirely different condition I should be using?? I am freaking stumped and annoyed that I can't get this simple thing to freaking work! Whoever can help me is a cool dude. 8)

Firstly - You cannot have 'Unit - a unit starts casting an ability' and 'Unit - a unit is issued an order targeting an object'. If you think logically for a second they wont work together. What you have means that this trigger would go off when the hero starts casting an ability AND when he selects a unit to cast it on. Choose one depending on the type of spell, will the spell have a target? If so just use 'Unit - a unit is issued an order targeting an object'.

Secondly - What exactly do you want to happen when its cast?

Look under the Map Developement Forums. CoFFeiN has a great tutorial on how to enhance spells with triggers.
