[Trigger] Ability Clicked event

[Null]

How do I do to make that: Event: A generic's unit ability is clicked?

 

[Warseeker]

Maybe something like this:

Events:

A unit is issued an order targeting an object
A unit is issued an order targeting a point
A unit is issued an order with no target

Conditions:

Issued order Not Equal to (move)
Issued order Not Equal to (attack)
Issued order Not Equal to (smart)
Etc...

Actions:

Do what you want here

Edit: Or you can check when a unit loses mana (if the ability cost mana though)

Edit 2: Actually, you can just use "A unit starts the effect of an ability" I totally forgot about that!

Nah, I want to make that if i click on the shockwave, it will remove the unit, just click

Nah, I want to make that if i click on the shockwave, it will remove the unit, just click

Use "A unit begins casting an ability" it runs exactly when you click on the ability button.

There is no generic way of doing this as far as I'm aware, but this works for a specific ability:

• Events
  • Game - Button for ability Shockwave and order Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave pressed.

This Event runs when you click the Ability button or press it's hotkey. It's very useful!

What if you used some no target ability (like fan of knvies for example) since it requires no traget and is used when clicked, then trigger if unit casts this spell it will remove te unit or am I missing something?

Uncle, what are the conditions to find out who owns the unit which does that or what type of unit is it?

• Yay
  • Events
    • Game - Button for ability Shockwave and order Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave pressed.
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local integer i = GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Custom script: local integer ii = GetUnitUserData(GetTriggerUnit())
    • Custom script: local player p = GetTriggerPlayer()
    • Custom script: local integer iii = GetPlayerId(p)

Try some of these.

EDIT: It just actually refers to triggering unit, so no need to do anything fancy.

• Yay
  • Events
    • Game - Button for ability Shockwave and order Orc Tauren Chieftain - Shockwave pressed.
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Triggering unit))

Does the ''Ability being cast'' comparison work too?
Where is the Charge gold and lumber in the order menu?

 

[DoomBlade]

Does the ''Ability being cast'' comparison work too?

I would just personally try with text messages, then you see what works.

Display name of (ability being cast) etc.

 

[Uncle]

You already know the ability being cast, it's defined in the Event.
