spell request

Hy!

I need edit a spell, the anti-magic shell, i want to use it only to the caster, so i don't want to select target, after i push the spell's activate button, like the divine shield. Is it possible, and how?

There should be 2 ways:
a) Modify the ability: use the target selection, only mark 'self' and your effect could do what you want.
If this doesn't lead to your desired result, make a dummy ability (e.g. based on your divine shield) and a trigger that detects 'starts the effect of an ability' (your dummy).
Create a dummy unit and let this dummy cast the actual ability you want.

If this is too fuzzy for you, just ask I don't bite (not before midnight )

Ok i'm interested at the second solution. I'm not the best in triggering, so i need your help if you have time to help.
thanx

Test map attached.
You can test whetther you get damage from the docs or the soldier when shield is activated
Just take a look at the triggers and the sutom made units... it's mostly self-explanatory. All calls of custom functions are to remove leaks; have nothing to do with the ability itself (the 2 variables in the map are only needed to catch these leaks ).
