Make Paralyzing Cask spell to only bounce to organic units.

[Dinodin]

So once again I have imported a spell into my map from a Dota Spellpack and this time I imported the "Paralyzing Cask" spell and it seems to be working like it should but the problem is that it even seems to bounce into buildings and wards for some reason. How can I make so it only bounces to organic units?

//TESH.scrollpos=33
//TESH.alwaysfold=0

    private constant integer DumAbilId = 'A0IN'

if GetFilterUnit()!=d.targ and IsUnitVisible(GetFilterUnit(),d.p) and IsUnitEnemy(GetFilterUnit(),d.p) and GetWidgetLife(GetFilterUnit())>.405 then

^ You need to add a check for Organic units in that line of code.

Go into the Trigger Editor and create a new trigger. Then add a new Condition to the trigger that says:

• ((Matching unit) is A structure) Equal to False

Now that you have the Condition you want to use, go to the Edit menu and click Convert To Custom Script. You'll now have some code, ignore most of it and look for the words that say something related to GetFilterUnit(). Copy only that line of code that looks similar to the code I posted above, try to match them if you're confused.

You can do this for any classification Condition -> Magic Immune, Invulnerable, Structure, etc...

Well there is no option in World Editor that can check if an unit is organic as far as I can see.

You could use something you can easily retrieve with a condition, like point value (e.g. decide arbitrarily that 0 = mechanical, 1 = organic), or create a dummy ability and give it to all organic units, etc

I tried to import the script into the unit check but I got this error.

Thanks but I still got a little error message...

It doesn't like the line break I guess, just put it all on one line of text.

Ok now it works. Thanks for your help!
