First of all, Make a Dummy Character - No model, Add ability of Locust No movement and so on No attack too.

Now Set the chain lightning mana to 0 mana cost and 0 cool down.

Second part - Make a Faerie Fire ability (this will be your auto cast) set the mana cost to whatever you want it, and the cool down as well.

Third part - the trigger

Events: Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
Conditions: (Ability being cast) Equal to Faerie Fire
Actions
Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at (Position of(Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Target unit of ability being cast)
Unit - Remove All buffs from (Target unit of ability being cast)

You should have no problem with this because I tried it and it works, thing is I tried putting auto cast on hero and it doesn't work for me, maybe coz I put it under Normal Abilities, But if you use a Druid of the talon, it'll work fine, I tested it out with 3 dotts against an army of foots, all I did was type thereisnospoon cheat and let them auto cast!

*Edit* Aww right when I posted this you logged off -_-;;;

You should probably either change this to Specific buff, or just use any other spell that doesn't have any hardcoded effects and just have a really short duration with no visible buff (pretty sure you can't remove the shared vision from Faerie Fire).

When you remove the buff it will remove the vision, and if you use another type of auto-cast, make sure it's target type, and nothing like Blood lust, which will only target allies, any enemy targets, I can only think of faerie fire, coz things like web require air or whatever. And yes you can reduce the data field, and thx for mentioning it. It is good that you brought up Reducing Duration! P.S. was too lazy to make specific buff - Was tired ^.^ look at the post time lol!

Actually you know what? I think you can just delete the field for Buffs and leave them blanks, Haven't tried it but it's a thought?

npz ZeRo_MD glad I could help!

Didn't think about the fact that Remove Buff would take away the Shared Vision, anyway, it would probably work to delete the buffs, or if that doesn't work, you should probably change the buff to a custom one so you can still use faerie fire on your map...

just base iton slow, change the buff to a custom one with no effects, and duration of 0.01
Apparently, web is the best thingto use, as it automatically targets any unit in range, whiole spells like slow require it to be during a fight - at least thats what I read
