[JASS] Need Help with Item Ability

[ihatecapslock]

I have an item that does three different things depending on what you target with it, however I do not know how to get these targets in JASS. I've looked through a lot of functions but cannot seem to find any that work.

It can target the ground, the caster of the item, or any other units.

If this is impossible can someone suggest a roundabout way of doing this, thanks.

What event(s) are you using?

 

[ihatecapslock]

When a unit uses an item.

Switch to using the EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT event, then you can use GetSpellTargetUnit and GetSpellTargetLoc.

Yeh that worked I think . . . now the abilites are acting all funny. The first one (point target) works fine but the other two, a lightningshield and a fan of knives, don't work at all.

function Trig_Raging_Flame_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return ( GetSpellAbilityId() == 'A008' ) 
endfunction

function Trig_Raging_Flame_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local location p
    local unit u
    if (GetSpellTargetUnit() == null) then
        set p = GetSpellTargetLoc()
        set u = CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(3),'h002',p,bj_UNIT_FACING)
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(u,'BTLF',4.0)
        call UnitAddAbility(u,'A009')
        call IssueImmediateOrder(u,"stomp")
        call AddSpecialEffectLoc("Abilities\\Spells\\Human\\MarkOfChaos\\MarkOfChaosTarget.mdl",p)
        call DestroyEffect(GetLastCreatedEffectBJ())
    else
    endif
    if ( GetTriggerUnit() == GetSpellTargetUnit()) then
        set p = GetUnitLoc(GetTriggerUnit())
        set u = CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(3),'h002',p,bj_UNIT_FACING)
        call UnitApplyTimedLife(u,'BTLF',4.0)
        call UnitAddAbility(u,'A007')
        call IssueImmediateOrder(u,"fanofknives")
    else
        if (not(GetSpellTargetUnit() == null)) then
            set p = GetUnitLoc(GetSpellTargetUnit())
            set u = CreateUnitAtLoc(Player(3),'h002',p,bj_UNIT_FACING)
            call UnitApplyTimedLife(u,'BTLF',4.0)
            call UnitAddAbility(u,'A00A')
            call IssueTargetOrder(u,"lightningshield",GetSpellTargetUnit())
        else
        endif
    endif
    call RemoveLocation(p)
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Raging_Flame takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Raging_Flame = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Raging_Flame, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )

    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Raging_Flame, function Trig_Raging_Flame_Actions )
endfunction

Use elseif. As for the actual problem, I'll look into it in a bit when I"m back from dinner.

Nevermind, fixed, apparently the dummy unit needed a sight value.
