initially active auto-cast ability

[Hashjie]

I want to know how to put a auto-cast abillity on whenever the unit recieves the ability. I forgot how to do it and if I am correct this can be done without triggers.

Anyone knows? I forgot how :S

I'm not sure did i get what you ment

But if you want to make any spell auto-casting, there's a tutorial for it:

You can edit any unit's Default Active Ability, under Abilities.

yes but that doesnt make the auto-cast ability be active whenever the unit gets its ability.

What I mean is: lets say I have a TD where you build a tower...
The tower has an auto-cast ability but you'll have to right click the auto-cast ability before it starts auto-casting... If I am correct there is a way to put that initially on when the tower is build so that you don't have to activate them by yourself. (without using triggers)

Ah, I see. x)

Well, I don't believe you can do this without triggers.
You can make units activate spells whenever they enter the game (Issue order with no target).

You could make orb effects.
Then with triggers, make an dummy unit and command it to cast a spell

hmm I guess I'm just lazy, I wanted to hurry with my map without having to go into the trigger editor.

I'll create something that'll work, no problems
