Trigger Fix

Does anyone know how to fix these triggers? I am currently making an auto cast ability to have another effect on the target but the secondary effect only works if I click the ability then the target. It would be supposedly:
Moon arrows: An auto- cast ability that slows the target enemy's movement and attacks then at the same time reducing their protection by making them visible to the caster for a short period of time.
Black Arrows: An auto- cast ability that stuns the target for a short period of time, and if they died while on the effect of this arrow, they will be raised as skeletons for a period of time.

Try "a unit starts the effect of an ability"

This can not be easily done. Creating new auto-cast abilities which alter the casters attacks involves some heavy triggers, some of which will probably need jass at some point. What it boils down to is giving your auto-cast-attack a unique buff and using a damage-detection-system to check for the precise moment the spell was applied to the target in order to trigger the effects. For many of the effects you want to have you will also need dummy casters and custom abilities / buffs.

Wre the damage events for taking damage or for dealing damage?

whether you have to register it for all units or only the one with the skill.

It is for taking damage. You have to register it for each attackable unit. Thats why GUI triggers are not able to do these things without memory leaks.

Guys I've seen a GUI trigger for auto- cast ability once, I tried copying it, but it turned out a failure. I think there's something wrong with my events and conditions.
Here's my failed test map sirs:

I think it would be better if you copied the code and pasted it here. This way we can help you even without access to the editor.

That's all I have sirs, I know there are too many things I missed. But to be honest, I have tried copying the style of the auto-cast trigger I saw but it won't work on mine so I just made it that simple so you can understand want I want it to do.

Auto-Cast abilities do not trigger events for casting. It doesnt work that way. Thats why I said you would need a damage detection system with this.

There is no simple answer.
You have to learn what a Damage Detection System does, how it works and how to use it. WC3 is quite a good game, but there are just a few things which are unnecessarily complicated to do. If you really want to implement your effects you need to do some research and learn how to use a Damage Detection System.

Nope. It is much more complicated and can not be done with GUI triggers alone. You will need at least some Jass for a damage detection system.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
