[General] Is there anti-polymorph passive spell?

[stan0033]

Is there spell in wc3 that makes the unit immune to polymorph effect only, not magic at all. I tried with resistant skin, but it doesn't help.

 

[Solu9]

The short answer is no. By using standard Warcraft 3 abilities with no triggering a unit will either be immune to all effects or none.

Yes, there is no way without triggering, but maybe you could do it if you edit Data - Maximum Creep Level field (5 by default), and make the level of a unit to something higher. However, by increasing the level, unit also gains immunity to some other abilities (Charm, Transmute, Possession...).

I'd say your best shot would be to remove the polimorph buff from the targeted unit with triggers. I think that's the best way.

• Untitled Trigger 003
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Polymorph
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove Polymorph buff from (Target unit of ability being cast)

That won't work. Buffs are applied after 0.00X second later than the event fires, so when you want to remove the buff, there'll be no such buff as it will be applied later.

 

[Solu9]

If the "Starts the effect of an ability" runs a second trigger checking for the buff wouldn't that work then?

 

[Chaosy]

just unit begins casting an ability then? or that doesn't work either? In worst case scenario add 0.00 wait.

edit:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Polymorph buff from (Target unit of ability being cast)

works, confirmed.

edit2: use this to make it MUI.

• Untitled Trigger 001 Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local unit u = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    • Custom script: set udg_unit = u
    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Polymorph buff from unit
    • Custom script: set u = null

 

[Nichilus]

begins casting an ability fires even earlier than starts the effect of an ability.

And if you use any spell that dispells buffs ? Like abolish magic, or dispell magic. Via trigger, I mean.

 

[GywGod133]

Or just use MUI instead using wait action

idk if this is work or not

[Solu9]

Perhaps stan0033 could tell us if he already made this work?

 

[Ceday]

This will make target unit stop if he using a channeling spell or such things.

Instead you should stop casting unit when it is casting polymorph.

 

[stan0033]

Yes I amde it work thanks to all.

    • Wait 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Remove Polymorph buff from unit
    • Custom script: set u = null

this is still not MUI, if you name the local variable udg_unit and remove the second custom script(set udg_unit = u) it will actually work and be MUI

 

[Chaosy]

ah, you move to move the "set udg_unit = u" down bellow the wait right?

 

[edo494]

no, you dont need to assign it at all

this method is called variable shadowing, where you still reference it by the udg_unit, but because you have 2 udg_unit variables, you will use the one that is closer to the scope, which is the local variable, not the global one, so even when you reference it through the global variable, you still use the local variable.

The other way is yes, move it past the wait

 

[Chaosy]

Actually I remember... that Kobas showed it somewhere..
