[Wurst] How to store a players only hero in a variable?

[Regno]

Hello,

Having some problems with my channel ability.

package main

import ClosureEvents
import OrderIds
import Jump

unit caster

init

    // caster = GetTriggerUnit() <-- Tried this both with and without, still same result

    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL) ->
        if EventData.getSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
            print("Channel ability casted. ")
            UnitRemoveAbility(caster, 'A001') // <-- This works as intended


    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL) ->
        if EventData.getSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
            if caster.getCurrentOrder() != Orders.channel or not caster.isAlive()
                print("Channel ability cancelled. ") // <-- This still plays on initial cast, I do not want that only on cancel channel or when it finishes

Basically, on channel cast the print "Channel ability casted" works, just as intended.

But for some reason, the other print also plays on initial, but its only intended to show on cancel/finished the channel ability. I tried some stuff like UnitRemoveAbility, but it does not work. So my theory is that "caster" is not correct. What is a good way to store a players only hero in a variable? Perhaps then it will work.

GetTriggerUnit() will return null outside of events, so you will have to set caster to it within the Event Listener block. Besides that, you could use EventData.getTriggerUnit() instead.

Woah, now it works! Although how come

if caster.getCurrentOrder() != Orders.channel or not caster.isAlive()

does not work?

package main

import ClosureEvents
import OrderIds
import Jump

unit caster

init

    UnitAddAbility(caster, JUMP_ID)

    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL) ->
        caster = GetTriggerUnit()
        if EventData.getSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
            print("Channel ability casted. ")
            UnitRemoveAbility(caster, 'A001') //this works now!!!


    EventListener.add(EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_CHANNEL) ->
        caster = GetTriggerUnit()
        if EventData.getSpellAbilityId() == 'A000'
            if caster.getCurrentOrder() != Orders.channel or not caster.isAlive()
                print("Channel ability cancelled. ") //this does not play

edit:

EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_FINISH

Code works if I do this, but only if finish, if I interrupt/cancel, it wont. So this approach wont work I think

edit2:

EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_ENDCAST This seems to do what I want! haha
