[Solved] How to detect Phase Shift?

[Asuna Tichondrius]

I just wondering how phase shift work?
When i use my custom spell on phase shift enemies then they still take damage from my triggered spell, how to dodge that?

Phase Shift applied Invulnerability for a short frame. If the damage is dealt in this frame, it is cancelled due to Invulnerability.

I thought phase shift just applied invisibility so if you had true sight it didn't work?

There's frames of Invulnerable applied to the unit last I checked, I think that's how it blocks damage. Invisibility would still take damage during the 'fade time' phase of the ability (since the unit is technically still considered visible)

But the problem somehow when i using damage overtime spell they still take the damage on phase shift duration.

Fortunately phase shift leaves a buff on the unit so you can check whether the unit has said buff in your trigger and cancel the damage if so

You could also try the method where you put a hidden "defend" ability on the unit. When the phase they undefend. Then just detect when they undefend. This might cause other unrelated problems with ankhs and other defend abilities. Because I think those also trigger undefend.

I'm pretty sure you're meant to use Orders to detect phase shift in the first place, so it'd probably defeat the purpose. Could be wrong though.

Yes that's what I meant. I was referring to Orders to detect un-defend which is triggered when a unit phase shifts.

Never mind, I thought Phase Shift was an "Order only" type of ability for some reason. Figured you could detect "phaseshifton" and "phaseshiftoff".

Anyway, the Buff check is very practical, although maybe this would work better and apply to more than just Phase Shift:

• ((Triggering unit) is invulnerable) Equal to True
