Some issues with checking buffs on dead units

[Trashbite]

Asking for help.. again, as usual. Ok so, I was thinking of a spell, which just adds a buff to a unit. If that unit dies, it will explode with a nova like animation (yes the nova is pure animation), and do some base damage + damage based of a % of it's max hit points.

Thats about it, and ofcourse, it does nothing when the unit with the fear buff dies, because nothing I create ever works lol. I came to the obvious conclusion that dead units don't have buffs, which causes my trigger to get stuck somewhere... I think.

P.S.: The search function is so rigged. Half of the topics is called "need help with my spell" or something in that direction, and all that just leads to things I don't need :s .

allright.....

Or - Any (Conditions) are true
Conditions
((Dying unit) has buff Fear (level 1)) Equal to True
((Dying unit) has buff Fear (level 2)) Equal to True
((Dying unit) has buff Fear (level 3)) Equal to True
((Dying unit) has buff Fear (level 4)) Equal to True
((Dying unit) has buff Fear (level 5)) Equal to True

should be

Triggering Unit has Buff Fear equal to true - you dont need 5 buffs...

next, find every Dying Unit, and replace it with Triggering Unit.

your actual problem is this - if you hide a unit, it is not on the map, and cannot do anything.

instead, give the unit a model of .mdl, and the ability locust.
