[JASS] Check if unit is still casting an ability

[Vulcano]

i'm trying to make an ability with a casting time of 4 sec. I use a timer that runs another function after 3.50 seconds. Then i should find a way to see that the unit is still casting the ability but i don't know how to do that.
The ability i'm using is flame strike.

You can check what the current order of the unit is.

GetUnitCurrentOrder(UNIT) == String2OrderId("ORDERSTRING")

or if it does not matter and your trigger can also run when he casts the spell, you can use
Unit - Aunit starts the effect of an ability

But is this not possible with one of the events like
otherwise just use the order<->string comparison

You can check what the current order of the unit is.

GetUnitCurrentOrder(UNIT) == String2OrderIdBJ("ORDERSTRING")

Remove the BJ.

Use a trigger instead of a timer. Add two events to it, the first one should be a timer event to happen after 3.50 seconds, the second should be for spell endcast.

function NewTriggerActions takes nothing returns nothing
if GetTriggerEventId() == EVENT_UNIT_SPELL_ENDCAST then
call DestroyTrigger(GetTriggeringTrigger())
else
call WhateverItShouldBeDoing()
endif
endfunction

Nevermind this. I just learned something: dynamic triggers are evil.

Sorry, I'm a complete jass noob

No. Dynamic triggers are evil. How many times does this need to be repeated?
