Ability on attack?

[Lord_Kakashi]

Okay so i searched a bit and couldn't find anything about this..

How would I go about making a trigger which caused a unit to cast a spell when it's issued an attack order? (instead of attacking)

Basically i want a tower which casts Chain lightning when a unit comes near it instead of using its regular attack.. e.g. when it begins auto-attacking that unit.

I know i could use bounce for this one, but i might need the same for different abilities.. Any thoughts?

This is what i have so far.

Lightning Demon
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Chain Demon
    Actions
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Target unit of issued order)

But it doesn't work.

 

[THE_X]

Condition ===> (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))

Actions: Order Triggering unit to stop
Order Triggering unit to chain lightning.

You can open up Skibi TD it has alot of such towers and triggers to follow from.

Have you tried this? I think the unit won't perform an attack to the target. It will just cast the spell everytime it starts to attack.

If you mean the order, then this could be it:

Test2
    Events
        Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    Conditions
        Or - Any (Conditions) are true
            Conditions
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
                (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
    Actions
        Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Target unit of issued order)

Condition ===> (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))

Actions: Order Triggering unit to stop
Order Triggering unit to chain lightning.

tried that.. doesnt work

Test
Events
Unit - A unit Is attacked
Conditions
Actions
Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Orc Far Seer - Chain Lightning (Triggering unit)

This did the trick, thank you.
