Bonus gold when killing a unit with specific spell?

I have several abilities that I want to grant bonus gold to the player if he/she kills a unit with that ability. e.g If a firebolt spell was the cause of death, the casting player gets 10 extra gold in addition to the normal bounty.

Well, at first I tried using the Chest of Gold ability, and that didn't work. (I tried adding it to the hero, should I have just forced a Gold Coin item into it's inventory?)

I then tried this trigger to give the bonus gold, but it doesn't work. Is this only possible in JASS, or am I doing something wrong? If it's JASS specific, some pointers here and there and I think I can handle it (I'm trying to make the transition from GUI to JASS anyway :cool: )

Trigger:
  • RaptorStrike Bonus
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • Multiple ConditionsAnd - All (Conditions) are true

      • Custom script: set udg_Temp_Unit = targ
      • Countdown Timer - Start spell_timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.30 seconds
      • Set spell_timer = (Last started timer)
        • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Integer((Life of Temp_Unit))) Equal to (==) 0

You could possibly work around this maybe.


JASS:
globals
    integer rawcode = 'A004' //'Fatal Blow' rawcode.
endglobals

function Trig_Fatal_Blow_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    return (GetSpellAbilityId() == rawcode)
endfunction

function Trig_Fatal_Blow_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit caster = GetTriggerUnit() //Caster.
    local unit target = GetSpellTargetUnit() //Target.
    local player casterowner = GetOwningPlayer(caster) //Owner of Caster.
    local real x = GetUnitX(target) //X of Target.
    local real y = GetUnitY(target) //Y of Target.
    local integer bonusgold = (75 * GetUnitAbilityLevel (caster, rawcode)) //Amount of bonus gold.
    local string sfx = "Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\Stampede\\StampedeMissileDeath.mdl" //Effect if killed.
    local texttag text
    
    if (GetRandomInt(1, 100) <= (3 + GetUnitAbilityLevel (caster, rawcode))) then //Chanec to instantly kill.
        call AdjustPlayerStateBJ (bonusgold, casterowner, PLAYER_STATE_RESOURCE_GOLD) //Adding bonus gold.
        call DestroyEffect(AddSpecialEffectTarget (sfx, target, "chest")) //Creating a special effect when killed.
        set text = CreateTextTag()
        call SetTextTagText (text, "|cffff0000Fatal Death!|r", 0.024)
        call SetTextTagPos (text, x, y, 0.00)
        call SetTextTagVelocity (text, 0.0355 * Cos(90. * bj_DEGTORAD), 0.0355 * Sin(90. * bj_DEGTORAD))
        call SetTextTagVisibility (text, true)
        call SetTextTagFadepoint (text, 1)
        call SetTextTagLifespan (text, 1.5)
        call SetTextTagPermanent (text, false)
        call KillUnit (target) //Killing the Target.
    else
    endif
    //Removing leaks.
    set text = null
    set caster = null
    set target = null
    set casterowner = null
endfunction

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    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
