Add Ability - Mana Shield?

Sacrifice is modeled after Anti-Magic Shell.
Chakra Shield is modeled after Mana Shield.
I want one unit to cast Sacrifice on an allied unit. When this happens, the unit that casts Sacrifice is to be killed, and the targeted unit is to obtain the Chakra Shield ability.

This is my attempt at accomplishing this:
Code:
Sacrifice
    Events
        Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Sacrifice 
    Actions
        Unit - Kill (Casting unit)
        Unit - Add Chakra Shield  to (Target unit of ability being cast)

When I try to make this happen, all it does is kill the casting unit. It never gives the targeted unit the ability. Anyone care to enlighten me as to why it doesn't work? <(o_O)>?

Is chakra shield a hero ability? If it is i think the target needs to be a hero as well.

You can't get the target when you're using the event Finishes casting an ability; it just doesn't work in WC3. Instead, use Starts the effect of an ability.

I have tried all the different events having to do with a unit casting an ability. None of them worked. I forgot to change it back to Starts the effect of an ability is all.

It is not a hero ability.

Not really sure if this is the cause but mana shield has no effect unless activated....

Worked famously. Then I can just simply add the command to activate the shield before the kill as well. I didn't think the order of the actions would affect the play-out of the trigger. I didn't think they were related in anyway. I guess it erased the "Target unit of ability being cast" with the death of the "Casting unit", huh? Lol. Makes sense now.

    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
