Respond to "A unit Finishes casting an ability"

[Chizume]

Below are my triggers. The game text works which must mean the ability is compatible with the event. But how do I shape the kill-action to make the unit targeted of the ability to die?

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blow Up
• Actions
  • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Works this far?
  • Unit - Kill (Target of ability being cast)

Yours,

Does the event have to be that? Could you use "starts the effect of an ability"?

I am using casting time on the ability; that would then kill the unit before it should.

Wouldn't these triggers work better?

• Kill-spell 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ...
  • Actions
    • Set Kill_This_Unit = (Target unit of ability being cast)

• Kill-spell 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to ...
  • Actions
    • Unit - Kill (Kill_This_Unit)

Your triggers aren't MUI.

Your triggers aren't MUI.

I read somewhere that Hashtables aren't as fast as Variables, I'm not sure what that meant.

Anyway, for MUI spells, as long as that spell isn't from the enemy I've always used variable arrays referencing the Player Number. Are Hashtables a better way to go?

 

[Maker]

Arrays are about 100 % faster than hashtables. Still hashtables are fast enough in most cases.

Hashtables are an easy way to make triggers MUI. Using player number usually means the trigger is only MPI, not MUI.

You could make casting time for Storm Bolt and load it with tons of damage. Models aren't a problem.
