[Trigger] Death Coil/Holy Light Unit Classification

[OmagnaT]

Hello, I've seen this question asked many times, making Death Coil heal non-undead allies and making Holy Light damage non-undead enemies, the typical answer is to make a spell based off Channel and trigger the damage etc.

What if I add/remove Undead unit classification using the trigger action when the unit begins casting the ability, then remove it when the spell is done? What sort of complications could arise?

• Unit - Add classification of Undead to (Target unit of ability being cast)

Edit: eh nvm I don't think this works :?

i do not believe that will work. i think u have to make channel like u thought and do the healing through triggers.

Its just unit types men,like structures,heroes.

I'd say don't bother with it.

Adding the undead classification when the spell is being cast temporarily is a bad style, simply because it affects other abilities aswell.

Simply trigger the spell and use Acidbomb if you need a dummy missile.

Death Coil and Holy Light are hardcoded spells and unfortunately you can not change in unit editor criteria for undead/non-undead classification for them.

The Channel approach is the best one.
