If unit loses buff?

[Dinodin]

Is there anyway to make a trigger that stuns an unit if it loses a specific buff? I really need this to a spell, pls help!

There is no event detecting this.

The closest you could come would be checking for the buff every (something) seconds. Kinda inefficient but I think it would be the only way.

As for the stun you would have to make a dummy caster cast a custom spell with a stun in it.

Well, the specific buff is of an ability, right? What's its duration? Get it, and do this:

• Trigger
• Events
  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Create a Hashtable
  • Set Hashtable = Last created Hashtable

• Trigger1
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to X
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Save Timer1 as (Key(duration)) of (Key(Target unit of ability being cast)) in Hashtable
  • Countdown Timer - Start (Load (Key(duration) of (Key(Target unit of ability being cast)) in Hashtable) as a one-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds [Change 5.00 to the duration of the spell]
  • Hashtable - Save (Target unit of ability being cast) as (Key(unit)) of (Key(Last started timer) in Hashtable
  • Hashtable - Save (Triggering unit) as (Key(unit1)) of (Key(Last started timer) in Hashtable

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Time - Timer1 expires
• Conditions
  • ((Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring timer)) from Hashtable) has (your buff)) Equal to False
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable)
  • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Load (Key(unit1)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable) at Point1 facing default building degrees
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable)
  • Unit - Add a 1.00 seconds Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key(Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)))) in Hashtable
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key(Expiring Timer)) in Hashtable

And if that unit gets purged? It will lose it's buff but not be stunned for a few more seconds, a much faster periodic timer detecting whether the unit still has the buff is the most efficient way to do it. Creating a dummy to cast a stun on the target and destroying the timer when the buff is lost.

Well do this then

  • Map Initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Hashtable - Create a Hashtable
  • Set Hashtable = Last created Hashtable

• Trigger1

  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability

  • Countdown Timer - Start (Load (Key(duration) of (Key(Target unit of ability being cast)) in Hashtable) as a one-shot timer that will expire in 5.00 seconds [Change 5.00 to the duration of the spell]
  • Hashtable - Save (Target unit of ability being cast) as (Key(unit)) of (Key(Last started timer) in Hashtable
  • Hashtable - Save (Triggering unit) as (Key(unit1)) of (Key(Last started timer) in Hashtable

• Trigger2
• Events
  • Time - Timer1 expires
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
• Or - Any (Conditions) are true
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Purge
    • ((Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring timer)) from Hashtable) has (your buff)) Equal to True
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Position of (Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable)
  • Unit - Create 1 dummy for (Owner of (Load (Key(unit1)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable) at Point1 facing default building degrees
  • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)) from Hashtable)
  • Unit - Add a 1.00 seconds Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key(Load (Key(unit)) of (Key(Expiring Timer)))) in Hashtable
  • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key(Expiring Timer)) in Hashtable

Just detect when the ability is cast:

Then add the targeted unit to a unit group:

Use a ~0.3 periodic timer to check which units in that unit group still have the buff
