Detecting if unit is invisible / invulnerable

[Kroom]

How can i do this conditions "((Triggering unit) is invulnerable) Equal to True" or "((Triggering unit) is invisible) Equal to True".

I don't think its possible....

What I would do is like set a variable to true (turn it to true when the ability is used) and then after say 30 sec (whenever the invis or invul would go away) i would set it to false. However the invis part wouldn't really work if its like wind walk where you can go uninvis when attacking. That thar wood mays ye up fur gude!

You can always check for the buff of the invisiblilty.

For Invisibility:
IsUnitInvisible(unit, to_player)

For Invulnerability:
GetUnitAbilityLevel(unit, 'Avul') > 0
This is to check for "Invulnerable (Neutral)"
To check to see if unit has an invulnerability buff, just swap 'Avul' for the raw-code of the buff... Press control-D in the object editor.

That should steer you well.

omg!!! totally forgot that!!!

Ya that would be the easiest way (in GUI)

Do you mean the "Invulnerable (Neutral)" ability? That also works. And I'm surprised there's no "Unit is Invulnerable equal to True"... Always thought it'd be in the Boolean section.

Thanks i will try that.

I thought so too. I swear that I remember something along those lines...

Another way is to store the life of the unit, deal 0.01 damage to it, check if any damage was done, reset the life back to what it was... If no damage was done, then unit is invulnerable, otherwise, it's not.

That IsUnitInvisible() is more effective than just checking the buff... it checks if a given player can see the unit. Meaning an ally returns false, an enemy returns true (unless the unit is attacking, etc).
