Does anyone know how I can make a custom spell based off of Lightning Shield damage the one unit which HAS the lightning shield casted upon him? I'm trying to do this, but there's no option in the editor, and I can figure out how to do it with triggers. |

You could either: 1) Disable all damage on Lightning Shield, and make a trigger that detects this spell cast, and then deals damage to the unit periodically (every second) 2) Disable all damage on Lightning Shield, create an invis unit with a modified Life Drain to deal the exact amount of damage you want each second. |

Thanks! What trigger should I use for the first solution? There's no "reduce health with (number) of unit" trigger anywhere! :/ |

Yes there is =) Do something along these lines: Code:
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) - 50.00) |

I tried, but I can't come further than... Code:
Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) Nowhere I can set the -50 of it all. emote_sweat |

you have to use the arithmitic option to subtract the 50 hp from the original life. |

it's the top option, you select it from the drop down menu lol, plain as day. Life of triggering unit - 50 right there... look around, it's where you chose unit - property, under same drop down menu, very top. |
