Planting Spell

[Troubled_Farmer]

I have already requested this in the Introduction place, but I'll go into more detail here. I want an ability where if I target a spot, it "plants" a plant, then the plant will grow with trigger I add later on. But I can only target a certain terrain type, which I chose to be Village Crops, because it is a "planting" spell for a farmer.

Hope that this helps. Map is attached as well. To make better you could have many if/then/else or multiple triggers creating different kinds of plants depending on terrain. Set refunded mana to the mana cost of spell.

This is the attached map. Demonstrates trigger,

Edit: Could add temp points then null them.

Squiggy, your "fixed" trigger still leaks one location. And you dont have to set the caster to a variable. Moreover, you dont have to use Casting Unit. Just use Triggering Unit and it'll do fine, being both leakless and MUI.

darn right - but i thought i read somewhere that it's not good to use "triggering unit" / "casting ..." / ... all the time, so i thought, i'd set it to a variable ^^

Meh, I was too lazy to make leakless.

Mine was MUI I think though.

Trigger unit works fine, squiggy.
