Help with Extinguishing Flames

[Dawnsy]

Hello there, first-time poster here, but a long-time follower. I am currently working on an RPG style game where there is a quest where a town gets raided and you have to protect it for X minutes. I was adding in a side quest where you can help extinguish flames that were started in the farmlands. Thus far I have had a few ideas but unsure of how to execute. I am not very familiar with JASS.

I've thought about having the Fire be a unit that can be targeted by an item ability, and when that occurs to have a trigger that kills the unit if it equals Fire. But not sure how to lay this out.

If I keep the Fire as a unit I know how to track the Fire's death to keep the trigger going. If I need to switch it back to an sfx I will be a bit lost.

Any assistance will be helpful this chain of quests has been killer on my brain the last week.

FOR DEEPER DETAIL ON MY VISION:

I wanted the player characters to be able to go up to a Well (a shop with a free water bucket item) and can extinguish the flames by using the item near the flames. Then going back and forth to extinguish all 6 Fires. All while fighting off raiders and protecting villagers.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability

if it equals Fire

• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to ITEM ABILITY
  • (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) equal to FIRE UNIT

kills the unit

• Actions
  • Unit - Kill (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Set FireCount = (FireCount - 1)
  • If (All conditions are true) then do (Then actions) else do (Else actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • FireCount less than or equal to 0
    • Then - Actions
      • {do quest stuff here}
    • Else - Actions

Set the default value of FireCount in its variable declaration and that should be good to go.
