[ZilvaX]

whats suppose to happen
1) Test 1 is casted (based on chain lightning) the guy casted dies after 40 seconds.

Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Test 1

Events
Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
Conditions
(Ability being cast) Equal to Test 1
Actions
Wait 40.00 seconds
Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 1000000000.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Death

"Cause (Casting unit)..."

Make that Triggering Unit because the unit is no longer casting. See how that works.

I'll be home late tonight, then if you don't have it fixed, I'll see what I can do.

Shouldn't matter.
The real problem is the event.
Should be "Unit Starts Effect of Ability".

Yeah still dosent work

Code: Select all

Test Skill 1
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Test Skill 1
    Actions
        Wait 40.00 seconds
        Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 1000000000.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Death

Is there still something wrong with it? Cuz it dosent work

EDIT:

Basically i just made an ability that lasts 40 seconds as a reminder when its gonna run out, And it worked. My trigger worked fine it might have mem leaks, so ask Aero fix it for me. Heres the triggers and a map for you to see for yourself. You will have problems with the trigger killing both triggers you use it on at once if your ability cd is less than 40s and you cast it on 2 units it will kill them both in squence..

Quite cool but the problem is every players hero has that skill, which means if its casted more than once then they will die even though it hasnt been 40 seconds. (sorry im so stingy with my spells )

[lightwing]

If I understood it correctly, you want the casting unit to take 1000000 damage ( probably equal to dying though );

Untitled Trigger 001

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

You're trying too hard...it's really easy.
Just make the ability leave a buff behind and do this.

Events
Unit - A unit Start the effect of an ability

Conditions
Ability being cast == your ability

Actions
Wait 40.00 seconds

If Target unit of ability being cast has this buff... then

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing 1000000000.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
