ive put in the matching conditions every possible non ally or self targeting
and it still KILLS HIMSELF

                    Loop - Actions

                                UnitVar2  !=  UnitVar
                                ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of UnitVar))  ==  True
                                ((Picked unit) has buff Storm )  !=  True
                            Then - Actions
                                Custom script:   call CasterCastAbility( GetOwningPlayer(udg_UnitVar), 'A006', "curse", udg_UnitVar2, true)

                            Else - Actions
                                Do nothing
                Wait 0.60 seconds
        Unit - Unpause UnitVar
        Set StormCount = 0
        Animation - Change UnitVar flying height to 0.00 at 150.00

I don't see why it would, but somestuff I have to say:

call DontDamageSelf()

That does nothing actually, DontDamageSelf() is a parameter of the new damage function to be put in the damage options

call DamageUnitsInAOEEx ( .... .... , DontDamageSelf() + ....)

for the trigger, the only idea I can have is that unit var is changed after a wait, but you can just change the targets allowed of the abilitieS?

EdwardSwolenToe	yes, the spell that the casters use is chainlightning which has the exact same targets as the normal spell (i.e it cant target allys) yet the caster system somehow bypasses this?

Vexorian	Well if you check it, even your trigger has filters for allies, so I think it is because unitvar is changing during the wait

Guest	I have the same problem with Light Raining, Fire Wall and Poisonous Weeds spells How can i fix it? :(

EdwardSwolenToe	yeah, im not sure why, but anyway how do i get the 'returns unit' thing to work? it doesnt tell you anywhere how to use it.

1)ragonspawn	Local variables don't work in If Statements created by the GUI. Sucks, doesn't it?

EdwardSwolenToe	really? damn. anyway also how do i find a spells integer ID? it doesnt have an ordercode and i cant find it.

Vexorian

You mean the order id?

well it is kind of bad actually

You need to place an unit with that ability, and owned by your self, then make this trigger:

Events:
-A unit is issued an order with no target
-A unit is issued an order targetting an object
-A unit is issued an order targetting a point
Conditions:
Actions:
Custom Sctipt : call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

Use test map, and once in the game, take the unit and order it to cast that ability, a number will appear, something likje 8543244 , take a paper and a pencil to write down that number, it is the ability's order id
