Spell Damage Question

[Sir Pukes A Lot]

Sorry to bother again, but I was wondering if there is any means of determing when a spell damages a generic unit.

Example: Say I cast Storm Bolt, I am looking to find when the Storm Bolt Animation actually hits a unit and damages then.

PS. I am using the Normal Editor with GUI Triggers.

U can detect when it is casted, but when it exactly will reach it .. Hmm I doubt about that. Maybe JASS ? But still not sure ...
Wait for another response ...

In GUI you can use "Wait For Condition" to wait until unit has specific buff. You can also turn on timer which checks buff and runs when unit has it.

Nah.
Its very simple
just use:
*wait - distance between targets/animation speed*

But what if the unit uses a speed buff, gets slowed, moves backwards sideways ect. Then *wait - distance between targets/animation speed* wouldnt work.

Hmm, this could work. Try it.

Thanks for all the replies.

I am gave the spell a unique buff, added a trigger that sets a unit variable to the target and then turns on another trigger which checks every 0.2 seconds for that unique buff. Once the trigger executes I have it turn itselfs off.

So far its working great
