Electrocution trigger.

Little update on the RPG im workin on, sorry if i shoulda posted this on my machinegun trigger thread =/. im done with the machinegun.. works fine now =)

Now im trying to create a trigger that works as such.
Electrocution:
When skill is cast on enemy, it 'electrocutes' them for a certain amount of damage per second. I used 'Siphon mana' to simulate this, so i can get an electrocuting type effect. between the hero and the enemy.

I changed the siphon mana to drain life instead. But i dont exactly want my hero to gain life while electrocuting an enemy.
Does anyone have any idea how i might be able to trigger something that will remove any life gained from the enemy?

Or is there an easier way to do this.
I might try dark arrow or parasite.. but i dont think i can get the chain lightning link effect to work with it. heres a little screen of what it currently looks like.

Would shackles work? That has an unforunate side effect though.

Otherwise, you could use shadow strike and simulate the lightning effect with either triggers or a dummy unit casting a minimal damage lightning spell.

Hm.. supposing i use shackles with a dummy unit.
And i set the siphon mana damage to 0. so it really is the shackles that deals the damage.
The trigger i would create would be something like,
create dummy unit at point x,
Command dummy unit to cast shackles on 'last targeted unit'
remove dummy unit from the game.
right?

I think shackles might work, but what is the unfortunate side effect? you didnt exactly mention =/

Shackles would immobilize the target, which you probably wouldn't want

hm.. that wouldnt matter. coz usually when ur electrocuted. you kinda lose control over ur body in a 'paralysed' sort of state i think >_> coz of the sudden voltage shock. shackles will do fine, now all i have to do is figure out how im gona make a dummy unit cast it.
this is like the third time ive returned to map editing. and its the 2nd time ive attempted complex spell triggers. but i got one working already, no reason why i cant make more =)

Uhh, if you use shackles you don't need a dummy unit. It already has all the effects you want.

yep, but im gona test it first, if i cant get the electrocution effect then i dont have muhh choice do i =/. there are some skills that are just so stubborn they wont display the effects/buffs you want.

Edit: nvm it works perfect xD thx for the tip =)
