Restriction of item usage

[Darxy]

I want to restrict the usage of an item (that can be cast pretty much anywhere, so it is not unit restricted or an AoE) to a certain area around the unit OR in a region/rect.
I don't know what to put under conditions/actions...

What do you want to achieve?
You can use target stuff in the ability linked by the item in targets allowed.

make an event begins casting an ability. then in the actions get the points. then check the x and y of the point if its in the region you are trying to cast onto (you can find it in boolean comparison) then order the unit to stop or whatever. i dont have warcraft atm i will show u the trigger once i have access to warcraft.

Could you tell me how stop the leak and how to make the condition work?

do it like this

event
starts the effect of an ability
condition
ability compare == your ability
action
set point = target point of the ability being cast
if (region(playable map area contains(point)) == false)
then
unit - order unit to(stop)

the condition that you want to go for is one found in the
boolean -> region that says the point is in region(playable map area)
the other condition that you also want to consider is
boolean -> environment that checks if the pathing for (ground) unit is enabled.

then you can order your caster to stop.
also clean the point that you have created

also clean the point that you have created

Thanks for your help, I made it exactly as you said and now the only thing I don't know is how to stop it from leaking / clean it.
So I guess I should make a custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Warpgate1) ?
Do I put it at the end of the trigger or somewhere else?

Also, stop/hold position/cancel order does not work. Ability finishes casting (even if it has casting time set)and then that order takes place which is bad (not working as intended).
Any way to work that out?


So it is like this now:

In this OR condition are regions I do not want ability to be cast in

change the event into begins casting an ability -- this one is triggered before the spell's effect is fired. (sorry the event that i posted before this one is the wrong event).

you cleaned the leak correctly.

Yep, works great. Thanks a lot!
