Autocast Events?

[akrep_ve_su]

Is it possible to make something trigger, based on autoccast status on/off?
Like:
If autocast for Fearie Fire is on = Do ......
Else: Do .....

Go to your ability and scroll to Text - Order String - Activate/Deactivate. These are the order id's you need to memorize.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
• Actions
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Issued order) Equal to (order(flamingarrows))
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to AutocastGroup
    • Else - Actions
      • If (All conditions are true) then do (Actions) else do (Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • (Issued order) Equal to (order(unflamingarrows))
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit Group - Remove (Triggering unit) from AutocastGroup
        • Else - Actions

Now, everytime you want to check if your unit has autocast make the Boolean comparison (Unit - Unit is in Unit group)

• ((Triggering unit) is in AutocastGroup) Equal to True

Is that also how you would make defend work?

 

[Pharaoh_]

Yes; orders are defend-undefend. You can also use this for Immolation, Mana Shield, Bear Form, ...

 

[axleion]

well i haven't tested it...
but Pharaoh_'s method might have trouble with immolation or mana shield...
because those abilities has auto turn off when run out of mana...

 

[Pharaoh_]

That is correct. For those occasions, you will also need a periodic trigger to check for "Picked unit"'s mana. For the Defend ability though, it's totally safe.
