[Solved] Natural Immolation Cancel (no mana) Trigger

[Tazuwukei]

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
• Conditions
  • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Forcefield Generator
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(immolation))
    • Then - Actions
      • Unit - Add Forcefield Aura (Neutral Hostile) to (Triggering unit)
    • Else - Actions
      • Unit - Remove Forcefield Aura (Neutral Hostile) from (Triggering unit)

The trigger works great for activating and deactivating the aura skill normally through player interaction. But if the Forcefield Generator runs out of mana causing Immolation to deactivate naturally, then it does not issue the unimmolation order as normal, thus not removing the Forcefield Aura ability as intended. Does anyone know how to fix this?

You could periodicaly check all generators (unit-type) current mana. If it's low, manipulate the ability as you did in "order" trigger.

Adding generators to custom unit group (created via variable editor) can help you a lot.

Yeah, checking mana periodically was something that crossed my mind, but it just seems so excessive for something that should (in theory) be much simpler. I thought there would be a better solution.
Are you sure that's the only way?

easiest way to deal with immolation based stuff is to check the buff.

You could also use this event:

• Unit's mana becomes Less than 1.00

 

[Tazuwukei]

• Events
  • Time - Every 1.50 seconds of game time
• Actions
  • Set Forcefield_Group = (Units in (Playable map area))
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Forcefield_Group and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Picked unit) has buff custom_immolation ) Equal to False
          • (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Forcefield Generator
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Remove Forcefield Aura (Neutral Hostile) from (Picked unit)
        • Else - Actions
  • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_Forcefield_Group)

I solved the problem myself. I think checking for the custom immolation buff instead of messy mana checking was the best way to overcome this obstacle.

...And I didn't see your post until now. lolol... In hindsight, thank you doom_sheep.

SOLVED.
