Spell casted by an item. prob

[sMatthew]

So when a unit is using item. How should i make conditions to call what item, what unit is targeted.
should i change the event to using ability but how do i call the targeted unit and spell on item being used?
i've tried many commands but none of it rly works..

I might have not gotten what you meant, but in case you want to distinguish if target is an item or a unit, then:

You should make your trigger just like when creating a "normal" unit/hero ability. The only difference is that you should check if target is a unit or an item.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Item Purge (3)
  • -------- Item Purge (3) is the actual spell from the Shamanic Totem item --------
• Actions
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • (Target item of ability being cast) Not equal to No item
      • -------- If target item is not null, then --------
    • Then - Actions
      • -------- It's an item --------
    • Else - Actions
      • -------- It's a unit --------

the event and condition than u suggest is the thing that i was looking for so ty however i actually meant a Condition that says somethink like "if the target of spell equal "that current building on the map". Right now i am looking for a condition like that and don't see any. Is it even possible ?

Unit type condition?

Target of abilty equal to your unit

Yes, it is.

For a very specific unit/structure/hero, you can use the Unit Comparison:

• (Target unit of ability being cast) Equal to YOUR_UNIT

For generic structures (any), check what type of unit they are through the Boolean Comparison:

• ((Target unit of ability being cast) is A structure) Equal to True

There's also the Unit Type comparison:

• (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Equal to UNIT_TYPE

There's even more: Create a unit group, and add your very specific units to it, then use Boolean Comparison for checking if unit is in a unit group.

• ((Target unit of ability being cast) is in yourGroup) Equal to True

Depending one how and what you're trying to do, there are even more ways to create your conditions (using: hash table, unit custom value, unit point value, dynamic indexing), but let's just keep things simple.
