How to get the user of a shop?

[stan0033]

Hi, All. I have a neutral shop that has [Select Hero] and [Summon Hero].
when a hero casts from the shop [Summon Hero] this moves the target hero in front of the shop with the message "target hero was summoned".
I want the message to be "hero1 summoned hero2", but I don't know how to get which player/hero uses the shop to make him cast [summon hero]

Any ideas how to achieve?

Can you be more specific as to how the hero "casts" something from the neutral shop? Is it a regular ability or a dummy item that is "sold" but looks like an ability?

regular ability of the shop

That's tricky... Can multiple units use the shop at the same time? I was thinking about creating a small region around your shop and detect whenever a hero enters/leaves this region and store them in a variable or something

That I thought of but dismissed fast because is not guaranteed that the hero will be standing on it.

You could add some condition to your summon ability, that would require having a hero in the region for the effect to trigger?

See, if your ability was instead a fake item that you could buy for free, you could easily get who it is with "Buying unit", but with an ability I can't think of any easy way :/

Oh, you kinda inspired a new idea in me.
Create an ability for each player and give them all to the shop.
then disable all abilities for the playesrs except the ones they are going to use and then check that.
