Ability Activity

[APproject]

Hello.

As probably everyone have already noticed, a unit given an ability do not use it as long as it is not forced to activate it via triggers. Some abilities, for example, Storm Bolt is usually being activated when a unit is attacked.

How and are there any ways to give unit an ability and make it use the abilities constantly without forcing it via triggers or attacks?

Do this have something to do with AI? I don't really know any basics of AI. If it is AI, please don't drop links to extremely long and complex tutorials and answer shortly if possible.

Thanks.

What kind of unit?
Human player unit, or computer unit, or neutral?
What kind of abilities?
What kind of triggers?

I mean... really, your post doesn't really say much.

I didn't go specifically, was expecting to ask overally.

Hostile / Player unit.
It is computer unit.
Any kind of abilities (Blizzard, Slam, Impale, Thunder Bolt, Flame Strike, etc)

Currently I am using triggets Unit Order to force unit to active ALL its abilitiea, because one do not activate it automatically while in battle. And I'd like to know any other way, because this one doesn't seem to be very efficient.

Well, you can either use the AI editor (which I don't know how to use) or trigger everything. Some abilities are automatically used by neutral units when they're surrounded, like Dota's neutral units, but most arent.

Ah, so I guess everything must be triggered, alright.. Thanks.
