ShadowDestroyer	How do refer to the unit being targeted by an ability when using Event- A unit finishes casting an ability I have tried "target unit of ability being cast", but that only works for BEGINS casting an ability

Mystic Prophet	I think it works for starts the effect of an ability as well. You'd have to save the target unit of ability being cast into a variable when the spell begins and then access it later when the spell ends. If there is a another way to do it, I don't know of it.

How about "unit - a unit starts the effect of an ability" then you can use "target unit of ability being cast".

Trigger:

Spell target

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to [Ability]

Actions

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing ((Real((Strength of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) x (Real((Level of [Ability] for (Triggering unit))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

Like this.
If it is a big trigger i reccomend using a unit variable for the target.

You can get the target by using the HandleVars/Tables system:

Trigger:

SetupSpellTarget

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Target unit of ability being cast) Not equal to No unit

Actions

Custom script: call SetHandleHandle( GetTriggerUnit(), "spelltarget", GetSpellTargetUnit() )

Trigger:

SomeSpell

Events

Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to Combust

Actions

Custom script: set udg_UnitVar = GetHandleUnit(GetTriggerUnit(),"spelltarget")

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage UnitVar, dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
