Respond to item use

[Chizume]

Greetings,

I have an item which a Hero use on a target unit. Then I want the triggers to create a new unit at the position of the targeted unit. How would the triggers look like? I can't seem to figure it out. Below are my current triggers.

Am very thankful for replies.

• Place
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Uses an item
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Loc = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) at Loc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees

well, instead of uses an item, use Starts the effect of an ability, and then use that item's targeted ability on the conditions...

 

[Chizume]

Yeah, but I can't find such a condition?

 

[Adiktuz]

Ability being cast is equal to ...

find your item's ability

Thanks. Sorry for being unfocused. Time for bed anyway

Thanks again!

• Place
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Ability

use starts, not begins

Don't forget to remove the leak.

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)

Add that to the end.

Add that to the end.

Cleaning leaks DOESN'T need to be at the end, it depends on the situation too ;D

Well, you used Begins casting an ability
Use Adiktuz's way, Starts the effect of an ability
It is MORE efficient

I'll change these things you've mentioned
