amulet of spell shield question

[markone]

Guys i have problem that my dummy spells always activate amulet of spell shield(spell blocker), then real spell does hit instead of being blocked, especially problem with stun spells... any advanced tricks with this item would be nice to know? Thanks

make the dummy afflict a buff, if there is no buff on the target then it does not cast.

u mean spellblocker will remove buff if its ready to work?

 

[Dr Super Good]

as it stops spells, logically a buff will not be applied to the unit, thus for your triggered spell you can detect the lack of a buff which means the spell was blocked. Thus you do not carry out your spell actions if a spell was blocked.

To clearify a bit:

A unit casts a spell
This is where the trigger starts.
Check if the targeted unit has the dummy buff
If the spell is blocked, no buff will be placed, in other words, if the spell is blocked, the trigger won't run farther.
Do your spell
Continue the trigger as you did before

ok if someone could say it again

For example, if you want your spell to both slow and reduce armor, lets use frost nova and acid bomb.

If the frost nova isn't blocked by spell shield, then the slow buff will appear, if it is not, there will be no buff.
Make an If/Then/Else action that checks if the slow buff is on the unit.
After this you put your trigger that adds the acid bomb.

It's very hard to detect sarcasm over the internet.
