[Trigger] Specific Simple Immunity

[RiotZ]

How can I make units resistant to very specific things without making them resistant to others.

Ex. How can I make a squad immune to slow or poison, but not immune to magic in general.

This is an extremely broad question but I haven't been able to think of a way to do it yet. I have Bribe's DDS already installed in my map so this would be the best tool I'm assuming.

Couldn't one just remove the buff from the unit ?

I have ideas but they're probably far from efficient/pretty.

You could have a unit group for each type of immunity, add units that are immune to their respective unit groups.

Event - Unit starts the effect of an ability, if target of ability is in the immune Unit Group, heal the unit for any damage it takes and remove any negative debuff. That'd only work for an instantaneous spell though.

If the spell is a projectile, you could change the damage of each spell to a very specific but insignificant number (like 100.01, 100.02, 0.01, so on) and then use your DDS to detect if a unit takes that specific amount of damage. Check if the unit is in an immune Unit Group to that spell, then heal the unit for the damage it takes and remove the debuffs associated with it.

This doesn't work on the vast majority of spells but I can try it, last I recall it works on stunned.

It wont work on stuns because they will still stop your channels and orders(?).

The ideal way is to not apply the buff, but because you use WC3 standards, that wont be possible.

You can make a library that detect spell with cast spell event.

Stop the unit caster and display immune to the owner of caster.
