Unit Categorization

[BABA]

How should the unit be categorized, so that HolyLight and DeathCoil cause damage if he is an enemy, and HolyLight and DeathCoil should not heal when he is an ally. I'm waiting for answers and thank you in advance.

 

[Zwiebelchen]

There is no way to do that. Unfortunately, the heal and damage effects of deathcoil and holy light are hardcoded.

This is a very short trigger, you should, after learning the very basics of triggering, be able to do it yourself via triggering.

 

[Bribe]

Base death coil off of shadow strike (removing extra effects); base holy light off of healing wave (reducing max targets). Both shadow strike and healing wave would have their effects change to match death coil and holy light. No triggers needed.

Wait you want both Deathcoil and Holy light to only damage enemies and not heal allies?

If you wanted to do that you could just base the ability of a straight up damage spell like....uhh....Stormbolt perhaps, and remove the stun from it.

 

[Bribe]

Never use storm bolt for that, as it will interrupt channeling spells. Use shadow strike, as its effects can be conpletely nullified.

 

[BABA]

If you take an unit and class it as a race demon, critter,tauren or ancient, how to make DeathCoil and HolyLight to cause damage if he is an enemy and don't heal if he is an ally.
I know to make a magic from stormbolt, and shadow strike

There is no way to do it using the default interface and options of Warcraft 3.

You have to trigger the allowance of custom categories like Demons, Elves and such.
However, you can limit the spell on being casted only on enemies, if it has not effect on allies anyways. This should work at least for Deathcoil.
