[demotry241]

there is such thing.. the action trigger- add event.

generic....no.. specific.. yes ability to make it generic yes

 

[Hildagarn]

how to make it generic yes!?!?
really...how

 

[demotry241]

well..

event

unit enters da map



action


add - trigger - (triggering unit) takes damage.


that would be it...

 

[ThePlague]

just pointing this out but for your trigger you dont really need damage detection

 

[Hildagarn]

there isn't damage detection....it says "Mega doom!" not the damage

 

[ThePlague]

then why do you need a unit takes damage

 

[Hildagarn]

beacuse the unit has to be under a certain amount of his help when he starts flame striking the crap outta the area you figh him in....

Does this work?

I cant see any reason this code wont be working

 

[cleeezzz]

dont use a wait?

or actually, even better, change all of the 'attacked unit' to triggering unit.

 

[Hildagarn]

no, it works...but if you cast a spell...no flame strikes...which means you can cheat yourway to kill him without him spell (ing) you

 

[cleeezzz]

have you tried changing attacking unit.

 

[Hildagarn]

what does that have to do with a unit getting hit by a spell?!

 

[ThePlague]

use that trigger but with no events then make a seperate trigger and use action-add Event Unit Takes damage to trigger First MB

 

[Renendaru]

Isn't he a specific unit? Or are there more than one.

 

[Hildagarn]

what is the events/ conditions of the 2nd trigger gonna be?
^ he is a specific unit, but he rezzes, and i want it to happen everytime...

 

[ThePlague]

even if a unit dies a variable referring to it will still work

 

[Hildagarn]

not if it isn't the skill "Rez" I have "create blank and blank"
I tried using this
