So I currently have an on-hit effect where when my Dark Templar attacks he becomes de-cloaked for 3 seconds. There is also a (currently) a second on-hit effect that applies a buff to the target that after 3 seconds does damage. I'm wondering how I can turn this second on-hit effect into a level-able toggle ability.

Some additional info:

Right now the effect works via apply behaviour that applies the buff which is linked to a damage effect. The apply behaviour is then linked through a set to the weapon.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

I'm sorry, but would you be able to walk me through that a little bit more?

I've attempted using the behaviour ability to do this before (obviously I must be doing something wrong here) but whenever I do I can only ever get the buff applied to the Dark Templar (which then means the DT is taking damage). How do I work it so that that buff is applied to the unit the DT is attacking?

@DrSuperEvil: Go

EDIT: I managed to get the ability to work correctly (I really appreciate the support, thanks a ton)

One final little hurdle though. I have the buff duration set to 3s, 1 period, and a period interval of 3 seconds but the buff is lasting infinitely.

@DrSuperEvil: Go

Buff two, the one that is applied to the unit the DT attacks that has a damage component. It doesn't expire so the damage keeps ticking on them until they are dead.

And I need to have the period and period interval on that buff for it to work as a delayed damage on-hit effect (the DT attacks the target, applying the buff, which causes damage after 3 seconds). Unless you were thinking I was talking about the buff applied to my DT, which is set to default for the period values.

EDIT: As it turns out, it was reapplying itself because it was triggering its own damage response. I managed to work around that, thanks a lot for the help!
