Cast a spell on all units

Kalvorod	I want to have all units on the map crippled. I have seen that you can use SlowAura(Tornado) to give units a buff, however this only gives a buff that does nothing. So how can I cripple units, hopefully in a similar way.

wantok	You could make a custom Command Aura and a custom Endurance Aura that both have negative values to mimic Cripple. Make it so they only affect self and add them to all the units on your map.

If the effect isn't supposed to be permanent, you can just do this:

Trigger:

Actions

set TempGroup = Units in (Playable Map Area) <If you need a filter, use it here>

Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Set TempPoint = Position of (Picked unit)

Unit - Create 1 YourDummyUnit for (Owner of (Picked unit)) <Just make sure your cripple spell can target friendlies>

Unit - Add YourCrippleSpell to (Last Created Unit)

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to (Undead Warlock - Cripple) (Picked unit)

Unit - Add a 1.00 second generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

That whole "non-AoE to AoE spell" trick.

Alevice	or you could do the disabled spellbook trick for all your units.

Dil999	Couldn't you just do Unit Group - Pick every unit on playable map area and add a negative endurance aura+command aura, wait X seconds, then pick every unit and remove that endurance aura+command aura?

grim001	you said you wanted ALL units on the map crippled... in that case it would be a lot simpler to just spawn 1 invisible unit in the center of the map with an aura radius large enough to cover the entire map than to give every unit an aura
