Autocast spells don't fire orders or Starts/Begins/Finishes/Stops Casting an Ability.

You can detect when turning on autcast spells, cant you detect when it casts (auto)?

 

[Dr Super Good]

Only some like heal of the priest and bloodlust trigger the unit casts spell event when used.

Spells like flaming arrow DO NOT trigger any event when used on auto cast but the unit is attacked event (before it is fired) and the unit takes damage event (when it hits the target). You have to use a complex jass system to make your own event system for it. Hopefully in SC2 they will not let such a problem occure especially since they say that a lot more spells will be auto cast.

Also, please post in the right section. This is a spells & systems post so rui please send it over.

Were not suppose to post spell problems here...? Doesnt everyone...?

 

[Dr Super Good]

The reason everyone did was this section was unmoderated, now it has a moderator so it is stopping.

WEHZ -Need help with the world editor? Ask questions about triggers, spells, scripts etc.

I realize there are slightly more specific forums but there are usualy less responses in those forums, and it is not wrong to post about spells in this forum. Having a moderator does not change descriptions, btw congrats Rui!....wherever you are currently .

 

[pandamanana]

use Immolation instead of Searing arrows.

and wtf? we aren't supposted to post Spell probs in World Edit Help????

My Spell problem thread was MOVED here by a mod from Triggers/Spells...

Unless you have a problem making up your minds, this is messed up?!

 

[Gost]

Already changed it to immo , thanks though panda!

 

[Rui]

This thread has been moved from the World Editor Help Zone to the Spells and Systems Forum. A redirection link has been left in the original forum to provide a conection between the original place and the new location of this thread. This redirection link will expire in 24 hours.

 

[PurplePoot]

No, we're trying to rearrange the forums, since everyone was putting everything here before.

See the stickies in this (the WEHZ) forum for more info.
