aura to only affect your own units?

[Baintastic]

I have been trying to make on aura only affect the units that I control, but it always includes my allies too.

I have tried a lot of combinations of "targets allowed" include "friend" and not "allies," but it still includes my allies.

What boxes need to be checked for this to work?

Try using only Self Units, in aura Units Allowed condition.

Sorry I should explain better what I am trying to do.

I have a Blademaster in my map that does a Bladespin making him immune to spells, but I also have him given a %50 chance to return any type of damage he takes. So i created a return damage trigger using a buff. I have a dummy unit with a dummy aura that applies the buff to him and I put that unit on an expiration timer so that buff goes away properly. The only problem is the buff applies to all the allies as well and they all get the damage return bonus as well.

In your dummy Thorns Aura, go to Stats - Targets Allowed - and set it to Player Units. That will make your aura only work for units owned by dummy unit owner. If you just want aura to imply on your casting unit, then create a dummy item ability of type thorns aura and apply it on your casting unit, or you could give the thorns aura to your caster and set it to Stats - Targets Allowed - Self.

The Player Units doesn't work. It doesn't even apply to the blademaster. Should i have something else included besides that? Also I don't want to give him the aura because I want the spell to be multi-instanceable.

instead of making a dummy unit with an aura, give the blademaster the aura itself inside a disabled spell book (making it invisible) and removing it later.

I understand what you're saying, it's just not worth the amount of time that it would take to do. Plus I'd have to make it multi-instanceable which would make it even more complicated.

I'm just trying to find a quick and effective way to do this, otherwise I'll just change my goals because I'm not too partial to the ability anyway.

Try to add the Spiked Carapace(is the spelling correct?) ability, via triggers yes the one Crypt Lord has, set the bonus armor to 0, and damage return to 50%. Done.

 

[Baintastic]

it returns every instance of damage, including spells; and I only want it to last for seven seconds and it still has to be multi-instanceable.

I already have the triggers written, i just need a way to apply a buff to a single unit that is immune to magic for those 7 seconds.

.... -_-

it takes like no time and is Mui..

 

[Baintastic]

I am familiar with the spellbook method for hiding spells.

Could you refresh my memory on what the triggers would look like for doing this effectively?

 

[Just_Spectating]

easily, if you already have an initialization trigger, just disable it in there for every player, so roughly, like

Player - Pick (all Players)
Action: Player - Disable (Spellbook) for (Picked player)


then in your spell trigger, you can add the spell book instead of creating a dummy unit, then remove the spellbook.

All right, thanks dude.

I'll try it out tomorrow. In the meantime, +REP for you.
