[Trigger] Need help finding item ability location

[13oot-Me]

I'm working on a item based resurrection that selects dead heroes in an area and am trying to find the point of the item being used (not the location of the unit using the item). For instance, if I am using Healing Ward I want to find the location of the ward. How would I do this? Below is the current trigger but it doesn't work because there is no location being stated.

Current Trigger

• Potion Revive
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
    • (Item-type of (Item being manipulated)) Equal to Ressurection
  • Actions

                • ((Picked unit) is dead) Equal to True
                • (Picked unit) Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)]

                    • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[5]
                    • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[7]
              • Then - Actions
                • Hero - Instantly revive ua_Dead_Hero[(Integer A)] at (Position of ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)]), Hide revival graphics
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

                      • Conditions
                        • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[2]
                        • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[4]
                        • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[6]
                        • ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] Equal to ua_Dead_Stone[8]

                    • Hero - Instantly revive ua_Dead_Hero[(Integer A)] at (Position of ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)]), Hide revival graphics
                  • Else - Actions
          • Else - Actions
    • Unit - Remove ua_Dead_Stone[(Integer A)] from the game
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p_Temp_Point)

I'll work out any bugs in the trigger later I just want to know how I would go about finding the point of the ward. Thank you in advance!

Try finding out the base order ID of the ability your item uses. Then try an event unit starts the effect of an ability and so on.

 

[Maker]

Target item of ability being cast is the position of an item that is targeted, not the used item. Is that what you want?

 

[Adiktuz]

Does your spell target an item or a point? Your trig should work if the target is an item, but if its a point or a unit, you should use

• Set p_Temp_Point = (Target Point of Ability Being Cast)

 

[Nichilus]

I think he wants to click an item in inventory, select location and that item will resurrect units nearby the point.

For that, you will need to use this:

• Triggers
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to AbilityYourItemHas
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • -------- actions here --------

Be it an Item or Spell, it still considered as Item Ability which exhibit ability properties - therefore the Event would be A unit Starts the effect of an ability

@Nichilus, Thank you! That is exactly what I was trying to do, I've got it working now.

@defskull, Oh I didn't know that, makes sense now though thank you!

+rep to both of you.
