[Trigger] Defend ability with bonus armor when active

[Mashira]

Hello,

so as title says I want the "Defend" ability to activate bonus armor when it's active.

What I did to make it work:

• added "Armor Bonus" ability based on Devotion Aura (but works only on self);
• disabled said ability at the start of the game;
• when Defend is being used it enables Armor Bonus ability;
• if Defend is being used again it disables armor ability.

Below you can find the triggers I did:

• Defend On
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman Scout (Melee Stance) 0022 <gen> Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Defend
  • Actions
    • Player - Enable Armor Bonus for Player 2 (Blue)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on Defend Off <gen>

• Defend Off
  • Events
    • Unit - Footman Scout (Melee Stance) 0022 <gen> Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Defend
  • Actions
    • Player - Disable Armor Bonus for Player 2 (Blue)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
    • Trigger - Turn on Defend On <gen>

I'm not sure what I do wrong, I tried a few variations but can't find the way to do it right.

I have a similar function in my map and it works fine via A unit is issued an order function. Yours should be like:

• Defend
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Player number of (Owner of (Ordered unit))) Equal to 2
        • (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Footman Scout
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Order: defend --------
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(defend))
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Enable Armor Bonus for Player 2 (Blue)
          • Else - Actions
        • -------- Order: undefend --------
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(undefend))
          • Then - Actions
            • Player - Disable Armor Bonus for Player 2 (Blue)
          • Else - Actions
    • Else - Actions

It is possible to add\remove different spells for different players and unit types by the same order defend\undefend. Just add proper conditions.

Defend Ability

Hello everyone! The Defend ability isn't working on "Starts the ability of an effect". Is there any way to execute a trigger when a unit casts Defend? :)

Thanks, based on your trigger I managed to make it work. Actually changed the base ability for Armor Bonus from Devotion Aura to Item Armor. Works just as I wanted.
For anyone interested you can find the working trigger in the spoiler below.
