[Trigger] Make Unit Cast (Via Trigger) Custom Ability

[ThewZ]

Title says all.

I really don't got any any idea in how to do that.

What I tried is, since it's a passive ability that has a chance to use another ability, create a dummy ability that has the same effects/buffs as the "other" ability, and then give it to the unit.

But, it doesn't work, because the "other" ability has to be activated.

Anyone?

Every Active ability has an Order string Use/turn on
(Text- Order String - Use/Turn On)
Change it to something remember that thing(like thunderbolt, or charm, or channel etc).
Than in GUI you can order the unit to perform the spell.
To do so you must chose the correct function to order the unit with( targeting a point, a unit etc).
After that choose wich unit, than choose from the drop down menu the appropriate one(stormbolt equals Human Mountin King Storm Bolt, charm equal Neutral DArk RAnger Charm etc).
Then specify the target.
That should do it.

Well, since it's a Area Spell, I changed it to Blizzard. But, I don't think it work. And I made this on the custom ability:

Text - Order String - Use/Turn On - Blizzard

And, in the trigger:

Unit - Order SwapCaster to Human Archmage - Blizzard (Position of SwapCaster)


But, it doesn't worked.
[EDIT]

Well, does anyone knows?

Make sure the hero does not have more than on spell with the same Order String.
Paste your trigger.
What us the ability you want to cast based on. Because some abilities are special (like channel )

Well, I just made it an Item and checked "Use it on pick". It worked.

But, anyone can answer me why this leak? It's so simple.

• Farm Baron Time
  • Events
    • Time - Every 15.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Farm Baron for Player 1 (Red) at (Center of Spawn Baron <gen>) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set SpawnWood = (Center of Spawn Wood <gen>)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To SpawnWood

Either setting it a variable or not, it does not work. Wow.
