Make specific aura unable to affect magic-immune units?

[LeviathanReborn]

I am trying to make a slow aura not affect magic immune-units. So, is there any way to make that specific aura (and not all auras) not affect magic-immune units?

you could make the magic immune units have a special classification which doesn't effect anything but your aura, maybe mechanic or sth, don't know which you use in your map for other purposes

Yeah , use zombie's advice ^^

The magic immune units are not permanently immune. They only become immune after they activate an ability. So?

 

[Xaerth]

Event - Unit starts effect of ability
Conditions - Ability being cast is equal to _______
Unit - Add Classification (mechanical or something)

you can do a periodic check for when the buff dissipates to remove the classification

or u could use the metamorph (or similar) ability... metamorphing into something that looks exactly like himself/herself with exactly the same stats (or not... depending on what effect you want)... cutting n pastin might help... den give the metamorphed unit default magic immune ability and add a classification to it (say ancient or something)... den make ur aura not affect that type of classification (eg only non-ancient)...

this way u dun have to use any triggers...

hope this was helpful... i found the metamorph-like abilities all particularly useful as they could give me almost any ability i wanted that was already ingame (modified or otherwise) without using any triggers... ^^

I really need help on this, any more ideas?

 

[UreDe4D]

why can't you use my way? you just need two triggers then:

• Events
  • Unit - a Unit starts the Effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ability being cast equal to magic immunity
• Actions
  • add classification mechanical to triggering unit

• Events
  • Unit - a Unit stops the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ability equal to magic immunity
• Actions
  • remove classification mechanical from triggering unit

if that doesn't work use a periodic event and check if the unit has the magic immunity buff

Oh, I forgot to explain. I cannot use classfication cos' i already used Ancients and Mechanical for other purposes. I dont know about the rest, such as Trees and Destructibles or even Neutral, but i think they might cause some kind of cconfusion, no?

you could make a dummy aura which eradicates the effect of the aura, then make a trigger like

• Events
  • every 0.10 seconds of the game
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unitgroup - pick every Units in all units in playable map area
  • if all conditions are true
    • picked unit has buff magic immunity
    • picked unit has buff <your aura>
  • then Actions
    • give ability <eradication aura> to picked unit
  • else Actions
    • remove ability <eradication aura> from picked unit
