Something to detect these?

[Dracula]

is there something to detect chain lightning targets? or a way to detect auto cast on/off, or detect the random targets get hit by fan of knifes?

I think there is a way to detect auto-cast on/off and that is using an Order(Smart) comparison.

You can detect the target of a chainlightning spell. You can't detect who else got hit.

what is order(smart)

 

[Eleandor]

Turning an autocast spell on/off can be detected by using:

• Events
  • Unit - a unit is issued a no-target order
• Conditions
  • Order - issued order equal to order(bloodluston)
• Actions
  • Game - display message: Bloodlust is turned on

bloodlustoff is the order string of turning bloodlust autocast off. It's similar for other autocast abilities, such as healon or healoff. You can check them in the object editor (order string - turn off, or something similar to that).

The smart order is given whenever a unit rightclicks something. Whenever that happens, a unit will do whatever is more smart: attacking an enemy unit (right click enemy), move to the rightclicked location, repair a structure, etc.

ohh i see thanks, but are there anyway to detect others?

The only way to detect chain lightning targets would be to make your own triggered chain lightning spell.

Or you could try using game cache to store healths, then compare those that are different after the spell was cast, but that probably won't work.
