No problem :)

The correct unit event is: Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Uses an item

This is the trigger

trigger
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
(Region 1 <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
Actions
Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Human Paladin - Activate Divine Shield

Remember to use GetLocalPlayer() function in a safe manner to avoid desync.
Desync occurs when you create a split handle (Selected Player gets to see/feel the effect, other player will not be able to see it), which is what you're doing it now.

Desync-prone trigger;
Actions
Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
Custom script: endif


Prevent desync trigger;
Actions
Set SFX = <Empty String>
Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetTriggerPlayer() then
Set SFX = Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
Custom script: endif
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Center of (Playable map area)) using SFX


As you can see, I'm creating the handle outside the GetLocalPlayer() function, that way, it will never creates a split handle for other players.

So, if you create the handle outside the GetLocalPlayer() function, won't it affect other players as well ?
- No, because as you can see, before I called the function, I set my SFX variable (string variable) to an Empty String, and when I go into the GetLocalPlayer() function, I set the variable to "Abilities\Spells\Human\ThunderClap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl"
Note that this variable setting occurs inside the GetLocalPlayer() function, right ?
Meaning that only the affected player will be setting that variable, and other players just followed the Empty String.
And after the SFX variable is set, I get out of the GetLocalPlayer() function and creates a handle for all players but only the players inside the function will see the effect while other players don't because I set it to Empty String, got that ?

Same goes to a situation where you want to create a unit that is only available to you.
First, you set that unit = No unit
And then inside the GetLocalPlayer() function, you set the variable to you desired unit
And then you create the unit by using the variable.
Only the affected players will see the unit, while others don't because you have set it to No unit, meaning that No unit is spawned for other players.
