[Solved] Spell Immunity Not Checking Dependences

[Marshmalo]

Hi there, I'm making an upgrade that unlocks spell immunity on a unit but the unit seems to have spell immunity even before the upgrade is required even though I've made the spell require this upgrade in the object editor.

I've tried with Archimonde's Spell Immunity and Dryads spell immunity and have ticked the "Check dependances" box.

What am I doing wrong?

I guess it's one of common mistakes. Do you use custom upgrade?

If 'Stats - Transfer with Unit Ownership' field in Upgrade editor (seen after selecting given upgrade) is set to False, you are forced to fill additional field in yours Spell Immunity ability.
To make it clear:

Stats - Transfer with Unit Ownership: False
->> required fields in ability data
Techtree - Requirements: Upgrade-here
Techtree - Levels: 1

Stats - Transfer with Unit Ownership: True
->> required fields in ability data
Techtree - Requirements: Upgrade-here
Second field is not required.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean, there is no "move with unit" box and not sure what that could be?
I tried setting the requirements to level 1 and that didnt make any difference either.

Stats - Transfer with Unit Ownership.
Omg, you've forced me to manualy open english editor :S You must be smarter next time, since there are only two fiedls in Uprage Editor with boolean values, it's not hard to check them out ;>

Post map if problem still occurs.

It works fine for me this way

that would affect all players...

Spinnaker: I am not being stupid, neither of those options has worked and I can't imagine why they would, the unit is not changing ownership, it has nothing to do with transfer with unit ownership.
Just to clarify the problem is that the unit has the upgrade and even though the Spell immunity Icon looks disabled, so in summary the ability is working even without the upgrade.

Is this spell hardcoded into the editor not to check dependances?

 

[Adiktuz]

I think the game only checks if the unit has the ability or not...

 

[Marshmalo]

Dammit, I hate you Blizzard...

 

[Adiktuz]

you could always just do Darkgorm's suggestion, but you need to make it MPI... I think I've seen a discussion about this ability a long time ago, which I think lead to this same conclusion...

 

[Marshmalo]

Ok well thank you everyone for your help anyway, I will use the resistant skin or Spell Sheild ability instead, not as good as Magical Immunity but maybe giving all units Magical Immunity is abit too overpowered anyway.

I've been just testing this issue. I realised that truely, spell immunity works even disabled, although I lol'd when I saw the "Spell Immunity" option in Upgrade Editor not working properly either (if you want to know there is such option in Effect of upgrade filter).

Another wonderful war3 bug!
Here you got nice implementation of upgradeable-spell immunity (MPI ofcourse).
