[Trigger] Automatic Spell Casting

[Dominic74]

I want the hero to cast this spell every x second when he have the buff on.
any idea´s on how to make this smooth and working?

• Mage Spell Hydra
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) has buff |cff00ff00Set: Serpent Sparker|r (1)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Human Archmage - Summon Water Elemental

How many different Units shall use this?
MPI, MUI, Single one.

Edit: (Any one as often as possible) , Once a Player, Once at all.
Edit: What is the Source of the buff? Aura/Passiv, Timed-Buff?

Seems to be an item - assuming from its name​

        • Unit - Remove Has Set (Neutral feindlich) from (Triggering unit)

Another solution if you don't need a Spellcasting you could add the Fabric Skill (ANfy) to your Item, has some side effect: Fabric Units are excluded in Multiselection Drag-Rect.

I will see if i can get it to work with what i have. ill come back with a edit.

 

[Dominic74]

okay ill try to explain it better this time.

I am using Bpower´s Equipment system.

And when the specific item is equip the Passive Hydra shown ability 2 (Based on Unholy Aura) is added to the hero.
When the Item is unequip the Passive is removed again.

now the thing im trying to is, when the passive if on the hero (When the item is equipt) It auto summons the hydra´s every X Second.

If you use this Equipment v2.5.2 than yes my Trigger won't work. Throught you have an simple Inventory.

We need to change the Enter and Leave Trigger:


From my first view:

Equip is using the Set Item in your Inventory, the Trigger i called Enter change its Event into "uses item" and its condition "used item = Set" the rest of this Trigger is fine.
Unequiping is more difficult their are 2 Options to do it ( hmm but the Equipment dummy Unit does both)

1. the Unequip Spell inside the Inventory (Starts effect of ability, ) .
2. Replacing the Set with an Item of the Same Categorie (Would be Use item again).

Edit: Testing s have shown that it reduces to Events:

1. "uses Item"= Equip start
   
2. If Uses before "Lose Item " = Equip
3. If Equiped "Gain Item" = Unequip

Result after some Testing:
