Buff

[Arrr]

When you, for example, use an ability whick also gives a buff to the target unit, does the targeted unit get the buff before the damage/effect of the spell?

before.

Contrary to what Arhowk said, I was under the impression that buffs are applied after "Starts the effect of an ability".

• Untitled Trigger 016
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Frost Armor (Autocast)
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 4.00 seconds the text: Cast
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of ability being cast) has buff Frost Armor) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 4.00 seconds the text: Has buff
      • Else - Actions
        • Game - Display to Player Group - Player 1 (Red) for 4.00 seconds the text: No buff

This would tell me that the target unit doesn't have the buff.

This tells me no buff, has buff.

works fine for me with storm bolt, frost arrow, and chain lightning (common bases in my map)...
