Would this work?

[Chaosy]

Hey, I came across a neat idea in the jass section. They like to use libs there and I thought I could create something reminding of that but in a jass/GUI way. So my main concern here is if the real value I use for the event works fine for MUI and also if there is any kind of improvements.

note that I will use gui variables if it works as I want but I don't care about that know

based on: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-resources-412/snippet-getlastcastability-220717/

function store takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_caster = GetTriggerUnit()
    set udg_x = GetUnitX(udg_caster)
    set udg_y = GetUnitY(udg_caster)
    set udg_target = GetSpellTargetUnit()
    set udg_targetx = GetSpellTargetX()
    set udg_targety = GetSpellTargetY()
    set udg_ID = GetSpellAbilityId()
    set udg_IDevent = 1.00
    set udg_IDevent = 0.00
endfunction

function InitTrig_Untitled_Trigger_001 takes nothing returns nothing
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Untitled_Trigger_001, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT )
endfunction

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Game - IDevent becomes Equal to 1.00
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if udg_ID == 'A000' then
    • -------- stuff here --------
    • Custom script: endif

Having globals block makes it vjass.

It should work just fine for MUI.

For what purpose would you use this?

Yeah, it works fine for being MUI. After all, damage detection systems work the same way (and they have to be MUI).
Would you give a reason as to why this is more preferable than the event "Starts the effect of an ability"?

@maker as said I will use GUI variables aka udg_name it's just for test


Well I thought it would be useful for any map with triggered spells, close to every spell uses a caster variable a target variable and so on this way you use less variables and less lines of code/actions. This is not to be a public resource so yeah
oh and yes, I use the real event because then it fire after the variables is succesfully stored so it wont bug in some way
