[Trigger] auto cast

[greasontim]

its not reall much of a auto cast but how do i make a unit cast a custom spell useing triggers?

 

[SanKakU]

well, not sure what you're after EXACTLY...but...
i know you probably have to make a dummy unit, it usually has locust so it doesn't get bothered by other units or players. it usually is invulnerable and invisible and might have infinite mana and regen or just uses spells that cost nothing. cooldowns for spells are also usually zero.

anyway, you take the dummy unit in the trigger and make him cast the spell.
it can actually be really complicated. i tried making a spell and i thought it would be so easy but apparently it was the culprit making my map crash. i finally had to have someone else do the spell for me.

 

[greasontim]

um i have 3 custom spells
and none make the map crash

 

[SanKakU]

are you referring to editing spells as objects or creating your own spells using triggers? i have lots of custom spells in object editor.

or are you talking about both at the same time? heh heh...

 

[greasontim]

no makeing a custom spell cast be useing triggers

Sankaku isn't talking about what you're asking.

For what you want just use

call IssuePointOrder or IssueTargetOrder or IssueImmediateOrder

(unit - issue order targeting [point/unit/no target])

 

[greasontim]

targeting Unit

 

[TheBlooddancer]

'A unit is attacked'
'Attacking unit has buff (ICanAutoCast) equal to true'
'Order Attacking unit to (Flamestrike (Or whatever)) Attacked unit)'

 

[greasontim]

LOL dude thats funny cuz the base of the spell is Flame Strike LOL

 

[Cokemonkey11]

then it will work without changes

why is that funny?
