Denying a Creep

[neku13]

I want to trigger a special effect whenever a specific unit denies a creep. Can somebody teach me? Thanks.

Something like this I guess:

• Unit Dies
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of (Triggering player)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the overhead of (Triggering unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\TalkToMe\TalkToMe.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

You could also just use the one that creates it on a point. If you want to do it like DotA, you will need to utilize the Floating Text functions.

You might need to explain what you mean by "denies". As far as I understand, the DotA Allstars meaning is not applicable in this situation as no one is friendly with creeps by definition so they cannot be denied, only stolen.

He's referring to the lane creep denies in Dota. Which means you kill the allied units, not the neutrals.

You mean minion denying? Detecting that is extremely difficult.

Otherwise if you want to simply play an effect whenever a team kill against a minion occurs then KILLCIDE's trigger is the way to go.

Is it difficult?

I mean, you just do exactly as KILLCIDE did and voila. Of course, you can add additional functionality after that.

To detect when an actual deny occurs rather than someone constantly team killing it is.

It's true, one could just stand in the base and murder stuff before it gets to the lane and that shouldn't count as a "deny".

Of course the whole concept is incredibly stupid but that's another topic.

Well, something like a check to see if the attacked unit has health less than or equal to a threshold, and if not, tell the attacker to stop?
I mean, that's almost exactly the system used by Dota.

Thanks for the answers! I already did what killcide said and it worked.
