Need help with ability

[kaizar]

Hello,

How could I make an ability that targets an enemy unit and upon finishing casting, the target would not attack the caster?
Assuming caster is out of target's acquisition range.

Thanks.

When you say the target would not attack the caster, does that mean they are unable to attack the caster? (attack removed)? Or their agro doesn't go to the caster? Or if they try to attack the caster they are told to stop?

you need DDS to check, is it the target receive damage or not
if yes then

• Unit - Order Unit to Stop

Use two triggers: one for when the Caster trigger the spell and the other for when you finish the activation of this spell when the caster finish trigger this spell (this last trigger mentioned), use a command to the target stop.
I hope this answer has helped.

if you use

• Unit - A unit finish casting an ability

, there is a chance the target will be ordered to stop before the spell hit the target

No need to have two triggers. Just one. You put a buff to the ability, then on DDS check if Damage Source has buff. Stopping it wont help. It would freeze the game.

Why? It will be ordered to attack that unit again and again. I suggest temporarily making the targets owner treat you as neutral.

Or you can just deal damage as a non-attack and avoid all the issues? It's simply one boolean.

Umm.. How would that do the above?

Does poison cause a unit to attack the damager? No, cause it isn't an attack.

I am assuming the question comes from a custom spell, so all damage should be triggered.

I mean.. he wanted the target to avoid attacking him, there is no damage included, right?

I guess kaizar should clarify which one then. It can be understood both ways.

There will be no damage, for this ability, and the target will not agro upon casting.
