(Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast))

[Jeffiec]

this condition does not work! Why? anybody know?
here is my code:

Event: Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Begins casting an ability

Condition: (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to Player 2 (Blue)


Action: Game - Display to (All players) the text: trigger

Action: Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop



if i take out the conditon, it works fine, but when i insert the condition, it does not trigger?

the first action is just a visual to see if it is triggered

Thanks in advance
Jeff

that is odd, try using "target unit of issued order" rather than target of ability being cast.

oh and another thing, I am not sure, but i think when it "begins casting" I am not sure that it has officialy aquired a target, I would also try changing your event if the first suggestion does not work.

 

[Jeffiec]

That doesnt work either, I think you are right though, about it not aquiring the target. If I remove the condition, it works fine. How can I accomplish this task?
The map we are writing is a collosium, and we dont want players attacking OR casting on each other until they capture the flag in the middle of a butt load of creeps. At that point the no attack and or spells triggers are disabled. I wonder what conditions are met when a spell targets a unit?
Thanks for your help.

try this

Generic Unit Event:
Unit-A unit is issued an order targeting an object
Conditions
Owner of triggering unit equal to Player 1 (Red)
Owner of (Target unit of issued order)) equal to Player 2 (Blue)
Action:
Order triggering unit to stop.

No, that doesn't work either, they just cast away. Seems like the condition I had to start would work, but it doesn't? anyone know why? any other suggestions?
Thanks again for helping.

i used this, same as you as i can see, and it works, i put a Mountain king for player 1 (red) and 3 peasants for player 2 (blue) and it works.

he beggins casting but the missle doesn't come out, the message does and as it should, he stops for a moment.

It hepened to me once, try creating the trigger again.

I have a hard time with names and I am fairly new to the game, but I love logical programing. My hero is casting a spell, one spell has a small targeting curser, that pinpoints a specific target, such as a chain lightning, and one spell has a large elaberate curser that covers an entire area, such as a raining spell. What is the difference between these 2 "target areas"? Which did your work with, both? Mine did not work with the area target, I will try the specific target today.
Thanks for helping me figure this out.

Hmm.. i think you should change "begins casting an ability" with "start the effect of an ability". I always use this for my single target, area target, and channeling spell, and it always work.

 

[Jeffiec]

Just like begins casting an ability , start the effect of an ability works, until I put a condition in thats says dont triger if it is another player. I want to be able to cast abilities on creeps around the board, but, neither player can do damage to another player until they capture the flag! I got the attack part working, but its the abilites that I cant get figured out.
Thanks again.
