Cancel Cast on Burrowed Unit

[Kam]

I use this trigger with numerous spells and have had no issues. When I call for it to be used on a burrowed unit the spell is still cast. Thoughts?

• Dark Mark Try B
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Executioner
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(bloodlust))
    • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Burrowed Scourge
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Set ErrorPlayer = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
    • Set ErrorMessage = Unable to target burrowed units.
    • Custom script: call ErrorMessage(udg_ErrorMessage,udg_ErrorPlayer)

in your condition statement

(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Burrowed Scourge

you said equal to true

when it should be not equal to true.

What's the point of the wait 0.00 second anyway?
And what do you mean the spell is still casting which one is it? And since you unable to target burrowed unit that might be the answer to the question, is that right?

(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Burrowed Scourge

He wants it to work for Burrowed Scourge. You are partially right though, the issue is with his condition statement. It should be changed to this:

(Unit-type of (Target unit of issued order)) Equal to Burrowed Scourge

I'm pretty sure (Target unit of ability being cast) with this event will return null.

Casting an ability isn't considred an issued order?

Casting an ability isn't considred an issued order?

It is, but he uses the "A unit Is issued an order targeting an object" event. There is no ability here, so GetSpellTargetUnit() will return nothing (or null, I still don't get this programming lingo) if you attempt to call it.

"(Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Burrowed Scourge" (may be changed by Killciddes suggestion as well)
Shouldn't that be checked after the wait?
Because the unit has not changed to the burrowed unit yet

I think Kam wants it so that an Executioner can't Bloodlust an already burrowed unit.

 

[Chaosy]

Wops.
Quite true, my bad.

 

[Kam]

I think Kam wants it so that an Executioner can't Bloodlust an already burrowed unit.

This is correct. I don't see a solution here unless I missed something.

​

Yes, that was it. Thank you!

I am not sure how I overlooked that.

To answer why I am using the Wait 0.00: If you don't mana cost will not be prevented.

 

[KILLCIDE]

I usually do it like this, but I guess either works.

Cancel Events Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object Conditions Actions Set TempUnit = (Triggering unit) -------- -------- Unit - Pause TempUnit Unit - Order TempUnit to Stop Unit - Unpause TempUnit
