unit dies w/ a buff... help!

[NightSong]

I want one of my spells to make it so that when a unit dies, if it has a certain buff, it damages nearby units. Here's the trigger I made.. can anyone find a problem with it?

• Taint
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Triggering unit) has buff Taint (Level 1)) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 100.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Killing unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 45.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Triggering unit) has buff Taint (Level 2)) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 125.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Killing unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 90.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)
          • Else - Actions
            • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
              • If - Conditions
                • ((Triggering unit) has buff Taint (Level 3)) Equal to True
              • Then - Actions
                • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 150.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Killing unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 135.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)
              • Else - Actions
                • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                  • If - Conditions
                    • ((Triggering unit) has buff Taint (Level 4)) Equal to True
                  • Then - Actions
                    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 175.00 of (Position of (Triggering unit)) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True)) and do (Unit - Cause (Killing unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 180.00 damage of attack type Chaos and damage type Normal)
                  • Else - Actions
                    • Do nothing

Thanks for your help/time.

I think when a unit dies, it loses all buffs. That might be the problem... Solution: use an ability?

besides... if your unit dies with buff lvl 2 nothing will hapen because first you check for lvl 1... if it is lvl 2 it is not lvl 1 so it will never run

same for 3 and 4

if it works for skill lvl 1 it is what i say...

if not... then its because units dead has no buff

why don't you use goblin sapper ability? should be way easier, and instead of getting your buff add that ability to your unit if it shouldn't be permanent

Yes, use "AOE Damage on Death" ability, just hit ctrl+f when in Object Editor (to search) and type "AOE" there (AOE means Area OF Effect). Use trigger action "Set level of ability for unit".

And unit , I think, loses all his buffs on death. You can try "Unit - A unit is attacked" event and "Unit's life less than or equal to 20" condition "Unit - Explode" action and queue your trigger.

maybe for the attaking unit to gather the kill you may use "order attaking unit to damage attaked unit for 40 dmg"
"make attacked unit explode"
or something like that
