Detecting Autocast

[Redeemer59]

I've seen triggered autocast spells done before, but experience has shown me that conventional "Unit Starts the Effect of an Ability" events don't seem to work with autocast abilities when they are cast automatically by the system. Is there a way to work around this? Preferably in GUI but if it requires JASS I will accept it anyway.

well, Heal is detectable with Starts the Effect

The event does work for autocast like Slow and parasite.

However for arrows it does not. For arrows you get when it is turned on and off via orders and checking the mana. Then you run an attack detection script to get when the arrow hits and then you do your spell. One of the most complex things to do efficiently.

I think it can detect by using order string

• Events
  • A unit is issued order ____

Ah, this appears to be the case.

Oh well, thank you.

And thanks to everyone else for the quick response.

In Dota they use ways like
Any Unit Takes Damage system

When Unit Takes Damage
If it has Dark Arrow buff
Remove the Dark Arrow buff
Do things
