Buff question

[mr po]

Can the game detect who is the giver of a specific buff?

 

[Rheiko]

It can't.

You can probably find a workaround like "A unit starts the effect of an ability" "Ability being cast = your spell" and then you store the caster in a variable so you can retrieve it.

Supposing the buff comes from a spell, of course.

That abit unreliable for missile spells like Shadow Strike, the game can't detect whose missile reach first.

Then a damage detection system should do the trick, but it depends on what kind of spells you have in your map.

I tried, but warcraft seem to deal damage before applying buff, so still can't detect.

You will need to trigger the entire ability. When a dummy unit applies the buff to the target you can track it for use later.
