I've read on a FAQ that you can add a stun to manaburn with triggers but that's so homo because you can't add any buffs to a spell!! I've done a spell but i want it to stun, but I can't add a stupid buff. Or does buff really decide the stun or not! help me please!! |

You're doing it all together wrong. The triggerwork you are refering to is not about adding a new buff to a spell (that's not possible, every and each spell has one and only one buff), but it is about casting two spells simultaneously. It goes like this: when a player casts the mana burn spell, a trigger creates an invisible unit (with no model, shadow, whatever, and with the locust ability that makes it unselectable/invulnerable... so it appears as if that unit does not exist) and orders that unit to cast the stun spell. That way you get two spells for the price of one. Also add a few seconds expiration timer to the unit (called also the dummy caster) when it is created so that it dies automatically after the stun spell is cast. |

Could you not simply have a trigger fire when thats run and pause the unit for however many seconds and then unpause it? |

That's easy, select the model field. Choose to input a filename for the model instead of selecting a specific predetermined model and just press spacebar. Then hit enter. Bham, no model, a purely invisible unit. |

Just use "Hide Unit", hidden units can cast spells perfectely well. Also you need to make the hidden unit at the position of the target to avoid turning/projectile travel time. |
