Spell Unit or Point Target with dummy

[searingarrow]

Basically i create spell with "Channel" ability with target type to Unit or Point Target, i triggered it by dummy unit, so like fireball dummy. I can move the dummy either unit or point target. but i can't triggered both, So I want to make spell,. if I targeted Point (target point of ability being cast), fireball will move to the Point target and damage every unit past over by fireball with certain distance.
And if I targeted Unit, fireball will move(chase) to target unit of ability being cast, and only damage the targeted unit only,. I have tried before, the problem is no condition that if I targeted point of ability being cast. Can this one ability possibly to target unit or point with trigger?
this my basic loop move trigger..

Create a trigger
event: unit starts tge effect of an ability
create timer with 0 time
make it set targeted unit of ability being cast to null

then you can detect in your other trigger wether a unit is targeted or not
I csnnot give an example of the trigger so i hope that you understand this

In the future, post your triggers this way: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/miscellaneous-tutorials-456/how-easily-post-triggers-163285/

Much easier for everyone, including you.

I have had the same problem as you, what i did is: check if unit is alive (boolean condition). If you selected a unit then the target must be alive. Else if you selected the ground, this turns false

very ez sollution

Is "Targeted unit of ability being cast" not maintained after the ability is done?

ok thx for information chaosy, next time i will post in world editor help zone,

I have had the same problem as you, what i did is: check if unit is alive (boolean condition). If you selected a unit then the target must be alive. Else if you selected the ground, this turns false

very ez sollution

how u check "if you selected ground" ?
previously, i set angle[0] angle between caster to target-point, and angle[1] angle between dummy to target-unit, if i target to unit, the dummy move perfect, but if i target point, angle of dummy change, and not move to point target precisely

Event: Unit starts the effect of an ability
Condition: Ability being cast equal to Solar Beam
Actions:
If (Targeted unit of ability being cast is alive)#1 then
"Ability is cast on a unit. Use Targeted unit of ability being cast as the unit."
else
"Ability is cast on ground. Use Targeted poin of ability being cast as the location."

#1 (could probably also be not equal to no unit)
