Instant no cast ability interrupts unit orders

[Death Adder]

Both

• Unit - Order tempUnit to Human Paladin - Activate Divine Shield

And

call IssueImmediateOrderById( udg_tempUnit, 852090 )

Interrupt the unit's current order unlike when you use it yourself.

Additional thing to note: The event is that the unit is being attacked, the idea is for the unit to use the divine shield as it's being targeted to dodge the attack.


I tried it with everything else removed:

• Untitled Trigger 007
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Attacked unit) to Human Paladin - Activate Divine Shield

If you trigger the ability instead it would be solved. No better solution as far as I know.

any order given via trigger interrupts unit. thats another reason why JASS sucks and memhack is the only way to go further

This? I'll check it out

Oh yeah triggering a divine shield would be easy, didn't think of that for some reason. ty

the simplest solution would be to add Devine shield into the units auto cast ability

warcraft already has a system of automatically reordering the unit after that.

that way soon as the unit feels it's life is in threat it will activate its shield

All that did was make the unit use divine shield at gamestart, though cool that you mentioned this because I had not realised you could include on/off toggle's to the auto casting. e.g. always making a unit start with mana shield toggled on and such.

that must mean the units are toggled from the start

auto cast only activates when a unit is attacked or another unit has been order to attack them.

Did you mean something else other than "Default Active" ?

That's the one which toggle's auto cast abilities like bloodlust.

Yes

You know the place you can edit your units attack points and so on?

The field right on the top is the one that you can use to set their default ability

Ok, then I understood you correctly.

But like I said, all it did was make the units use / toggle on the ability as soon as they spawned.

So regarding divine shield, they first wasted the CD (since I haven't enabled toggle off for divine shield) and then they never used it again by themselves, not even once before being killed.

In all my maps I've had zero problems just reissuing the original order after ordering them to use divine shield. That's assuming you have a way to keep track of their order (simple in something like a tower defense, not so simple in an alternate RTS with custom AI).

You mean like with a unit indexer or hashtable?

 

[Kaijyuu]

Sure, that'd work. Would still interrupt casting animations and the like, though would merely delay things instead of cancel.

Again might be more trouble than it's worth, depending on the map.

I'll take a crack at it tonight. when I made my dbz map with ai I used this method to control the non ai units and it worked just fine

Ok here is the solution
