[General] How to make a spell stealing spell?

How to make a spell that can steal other units spells?
I am thinking to store other units' spells in an array and then make the rest of the stealing spell. Are there more efficient way than mine?

Thanks a lot.

There are already such spells in the spell sector
Such as : THIS with vJass
or THIS with GUI.

It's happy to be able to help BUT i hope you'll trust the SEARCH tool before posting it the next time. Have fun

Basically you need a Hashtable for this, it's more efficient in terms of accessing the spell from the unit.

Do these spells only steal default Warcraft spells?

mine spell will steal any ability that is not passive(those cant be catched when they proc) no matter if it is default or user-made spell, as long as it fires Unit Starts the effect of ability

Thanks. How about triggered spell? I guess not.

as well, because trigger only enchances the effects, but the Unit Starts the effect of an ability trigger event fires when your mana is drain upon cast(technically, when cooldown starts because not all spells cost mana) so yes, everything that is not banned by the system the spell uses or is not passive ability will be stealable

Thanks a lot. Good to know that.
