Item Targets

[NoobMapmaker]

I'm trying to make a trigger that changes the ownership of the unit targeted by an item to the owner of of the unit that uses the item, how do i detect the target of an item?

Use the event "Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability". And the condition will be the ability the item is based on.

For Example

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Chain Lightning (item)
  • Actions

I meant when u refer to the unit that the item is targeted in the "Actions" part of the trigger.
For example to find the unit that is a target of a spell u would use "Event Response - Target unit of ability being cast" but for items im not sure which to use.

 

[yAyAfOshO]

Use that, it works with it.

EDIT: Tried it myself, it works fine.

i tried it doesn't work.. guess i have to check for the item spell and use that for the trigger

use charm

 

[NoobMapmaker]

what do you mean by charm?

 

[UreDe4D]

an item which allows you to use the ability charm, i guess there is alredy one, i just cant remember/translate the name excactly, sth like "staff of dominion" maybe, or just create a new one with charm (charm is ultimate spell of dark ranger, if you meant that)

But what different does it make if i already tried with the other items and it doesn't work?

BTW: Does anyone know which spells don't share cool down? (if i give the unit 2 of the same type of that spell and the second one wont get activated when the first one is used.)

Using "Target of Ability being Cast" works, maybe your trigger was wrong or something.

 

[UreDe4D]

those "other items" have a maximum level for creeps, you need to increase this level and for the cooldown, there is sth like cooldowngroup in the objecteditor for every item, items in the same group share cooldown

 

[NoobMapmaker]

Are there any cool down groups that allow each spell to not effect others in the same group?

Ever heard of a hero named Dark Ranger in Warcraft III - The Frozen Throne ?

lol yes i know what that skill is, but what about it? if its made into an item skill it functions like all the other ones? whats the difference?

 

[Need_O2]

make it item ability and give it to item
there you have an item that makes target enemy yours

Oh, i was looking for a trigger so i can add conditions. but im using the spell as the trigger of the item instead of item itself, seems to be working so far.
