On attack effect

[Killd0zer]

Im just wondering how you make an "on attack" spell do its effect when you actually do the damage, not just begin to attack.

E.G. Kunkka's Tidebringer (I just saw the spell pack, so its on my mind)

Hmmmm, I will have to look into this, give me some time.

Kunkka's Tidebringer uses Cleave ability, which occurs upon damaging the enemy.

Generally, Orb of Lightning (New) triggers upon damage taken.

The only other way in which to do this, since I can't find it doing GUI easily, is JASS.

Ah, so how would i do that? Add Orb of Lightning, as a buff, but then how would i detect its effect? Does "Uses a spell" work with Orb effects?

Oh, k thanks for helping.

Not actually, there was a thread about this issue:

You can use a chance of 100% and make a damage detection system; when a unit takes damage and (Integer comparison: Level of Orb of Lightning (New) for (Damage source) Greater than 0), then remove the ability from the Damage source.
