Auto-casting abilities

[Mutantbunny]

I want to make a unit auto-cast an ability when it attacks but i cant seem to find the trigger for it. if someone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated

You mean, like:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • -------- // Triggering unit points to the same unit as "Attacked unit" in this scenario. --------

Or, if you wanted to add a conditional response:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Silence for (Attacking unit)) Greater than 0
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Neutral Dark Ranger - Silence (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • -------- // Triggering unit points to the same unit as "Attacked unit" in this scenario. --------

If its a custom spell, use one of the auto-cast base spells. (Orb of Anhilation, Cold Arrows, Searing Arrows, etc.) However, if you want to cast an active spell on attack, you need to detect the attack and order the unit to cast your spell.

• Auto-Cast
• Events
  • Unit - Unit is attacked
• Conditions
  • ((Attacking Unit) Equal to Your_Hero)
• Actions
  • Unit - Order Your_Hero to Human Archmage - Blizzard

You can add other conditions if you like, such as Mana percentage, Attacked units Health percentage, etc. Note that the spells String ID is the Archmage's Blizzard. Just find your spell base in the list, or change the ID on your spell.

Does this answer the question?

I didn't look at the time, I actually thought your post was recent. Our posts were only 4 minutes apart so I can see how that would happen, apologies. I changed the message.
