event
generic unit event - unit starts the effect of an ability (make sure it's not "starts casting"!)

conditions
ability comparison - (ability being cast) is equal to (your ability)

actions
unit - set health (to value) to ( ( health remaining of (triggering unit)) * 0.5 )

• Demon Bolt Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Demon Bolt
    • (Life of (Triggering unit)) Less than 200.00
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

• Demon Bolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Demon Bolt
  • Actions
    • Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Life of (Triggering unit)) x 0.50)

The first trigger will check whether the casting unit's hp is less than 200 and will stop it. Use it if you want.

You should use Unit Damage Unit.

Couldn't you use a "if, then, else" action to make that into 1 trigger? I don't know if it would be worth it but it seems like the less triggers would be better.

This isn't quite the whole thing.
2 problems. It doesn't stop the ability and it doesn't give the mana used.
Ow and the And - All (Conditions) isn't needed.

• Demonbolt
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Manacurrent = (Mana of (Casting unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to DemonBolt
        • (Life of (Casting unit)) Greater than or equal to 200.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Set life of (Casting unit) to ((Life of (Casting unit)) x 0.50)
      • Else - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Casting unit) to Stop
        • Wait 0.30 seconds
        • Set Manaused = (Manacurrent - (Mana of (Casting unit)))
        • Unit - Set mana of (Casting unit) to ((Mana of (Casting unit)) + Manaused)

Now this will make the hero stop casting and it will give the mana used for the spell back.
One problem.. you need to make it MUI with JASS and i don't know JASS

if now someone else also casts this spell (in 0.30 seconds) you'll have a problem. If you only have one hero able to cast this you're fine with this trigger.

 

[Nexor]

these 2 triggers will make it fully MUI and fully usable, leakless, lagless anything...
These aren't that long triggers.

There's nothing wrong with triggers in Post#3. So far, I guess it's the best.


> You should use Unit Damage Unit

The unit will not be killed. So it's pointless. Besides, setting HP is more accurate and does not take in consideration of armor.

No.. it doesn't work.

I've tried it with thunder clap and the exact two triggers mentioned.
The unit will stop yes, but the ability is already done, aka it's HP is less and it costs mana. Try it you'll see..
