I try to create a item ability that add to user 100% life steel when item is used for a few sec.
So unholly rage x and hollow mask are life steel (frostmour) ability with diferent value.
Trigger:
  • Unholly rage
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Unholly rage (item)
    • Actions
      • Unit - Remove hollow mask from (Casting unit)
      • Unit - Add unholy rage X to (Casting unit)
      • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the chest of (Casting unit) using Abilities\Spells\Items\VampiricPotion\VampPotionCaster.mdl
      • Set unholly[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Last created special effect)
      • Wait 7.00 seconds
      • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • ((Casting unit) is dead) Equal to True
        • Then - Actions
          • Wait until (((Casting unit) is alive) Equal to True), checking every 1.00 seconds
          • Special Effect - Destroy unholly[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
          • Unit - Remove unholy rage X from (Casting unit)
          • Unit - Add hollow mask to (Casting unit)
        • Else - Actions
          • Special Effect - Destroy unholly[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
          • Unit - Remove unholy rage X from (Casting unit)
          • Unit - Add hollow mask to (Casting unit)

Where am I wrong ?
 
it's because of the event
you can't use "Starts the effect of an ability" with item abilities

use "Unit Uses an Item"

btw, your code is a complete mess and will most probably cause... unexpected results :p
 
1). use triggering unit, will make things MUI even with the wait.

2). instead of creating the special effect with triggers just use some effect applied by an active ability. you are using an item or arent you?

3). you can add / remove abilities from a unit even if its dead. you dont have to wait for it to revive.

You can use "Starts the effect of an ability" with item abilities. The unit is still casting an ability, except it's an item-type ability. But the unit is still casting it normally.
 
depends on the ability of the item. some active abilitys are not registered as "unit starts effect of abiltiy" event triggers.
 
Hmm... such as abilities that are based on item abilities in the first place, I suppose?...
 
If you're just trying to make a temporary life steal, why not just use the one that's used by the vampiric potion? Saves on triggering...
 
@baka-rager yes i want to make an active ability that give unit 120% life steel for 10 sec i will try with vampiric potion...thx for hint
BTW ability that i use with event a unit start the effect of an abilit yis named wind walk :D

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/
