[Spell] Registering Auto-cast Attacks?

[Zardikkar]

Hello.

Is there any way to register a successful landing of an attack with an auto-cast modifier (like Searing Arrows)? Thanks in advance!

Detecting if Searing Arrows is active is the easy part - you just set a variable whenever the unit is issued the searingarrows/unsearingarrows order. The tricky part will be registering the attack successfully landing. You'll need to use a damage engine and trigger all non-basic attack damage in your map.

In other words: No, you can't.
You can register poison arrows and others which apply a debuff of some sort, but not Searing Arrows.

Thanks! Installed bribe's Damage Engine, the method seems to work.

Just remember you have to trigger ALL damage from the arrow source for this to work. This includes anything like item spell/passives (permanent immolation) too (but not dummy abilities since the damage comes from a different unit). Also, I'm not 100% sure what the damage source will be from Thorn's Aura, but I'm assuming it's the aura's owner. Still worth checking out.
