how do you write a trigger that does something only when Divine Shield is active?
i'm trying to make an ability that's duration or toggle based like divine shield can be. i want this ability bound to a trigger that fires off an action, only when the ability is active/toggled/on. so far, i've only found that 'Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target' fires my trigger, but i might/probably will want to use this type of triggering in another way of my map with a different ability. so, i need to be able to know what is going on... not just that it's going on, because it fires when you learn the ability that way.
I didnt check this in the editor, but woulndt it go like this:
Event Unit starts casting a spell Conditions Casting spell equal to manaspell Actions Set variable "Caster" = Casting unit Turn on trigger "ThisgivesMana"
Trigger "ThisgivesMana":
Event Every 1 second of game time Conditions None Actions Add 1 mana to "Caster" mana pool
Third trigger:
Event "Caster" finishes casting a spell Condition Casted spell equal to Manaspell Actions Turn of trigger "ThisgivesMana"
Try that, i just wrote this while trying to remember some triggers, as said havent checked if it works, try it and say did it work.
Event Unit starts casting a spell Conditions Casting spell equal to manaspell Actions Set variable "Caster" = Casting unit Turn on trigger "ThisgivesMana"
no, this don't work... seems the only one i have gotten to respond is the 'single player only' warned 'hero clicked ability button', something like that... not sure of the exact name right now..

This is an 'air drain' trigger which i use to take air (mana) from submerged submarines. I've modified it slightly for your purposes. The unit that is regaining mana needs a spell based off 'Divine Shield' which gives them the custom buff 'ManaSpell'.
Mana Gain. Events Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time Conditions Actions Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) has buff ManaSpell) Equal to True)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Unit - Set mana of (Picked unit) to ((Mana of (Picked unit)) + 1.00) If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions) If - Conditions (Mana of (Picked unit)) Equal to (Max Mana of (Picked Unit)) Then - Actions Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Paladin - Deactivate Divine Shield Else - Actions Do nothing
That should work like diddly. . Have fun. =][= Bort
ok, so if i base this off of divine shield and use:
Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Paladin - Deactivate Divine Shield
how would i go about making another ability that does the same thing, but for health.
it seems i can use this:
Unit - Remove ManaSpell buff from (Picked unit)
that would work with multiple spells, i think at least... going to try it. what would be the difference between using that and using yours? are there any cons or side affects?
ok, got it working... but i made the 2nd ability based on immolation..... i need another ability to base the 2nd off of that has a Data - Can Deactivate property, so i can set that to false.
. Have fun.
