Auto-cast trigger

[SiorTapas]

is there any way of make a trigger run when a unit right clicks an auto-cast ability? (when turns auto-cast on) If not how I can make 2 triggers like that: the one runs when a unit turns immolation on and the other runs when a unit turns immolation off

Yes, I think this is doable. All the auto-cast abilities have 2 order strings, an "on" and "off" order which enables/disables auto-casting. So if you base your ability from, say, Poison Arrows, you'd do something like this...

if ( GetIssuedOrderId() == OrderId("poisonarrows") ) then [do your stuff here]

I haven't played around with custom hero abilities of this type, but this should work... in theory...

EDIT: Turning off poison arrows would be "unpoisonarrows". Also, Immolation is a toggle ability, why would you need it auto-cast?

The way I would handle the situation would involve making 2 dummy spells. The first one would be "turn on" and the second "turn off". I would then trigger my spell (or use JASS...) to detect when they turn it on/off and make 2 triggers like this:


Activate Spell

• Turn On
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Turn On Immolation
  • Actions
    • -------- Running is a boolean. True=Spell is running. False=Spell is not running. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Running Equal to False
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Running = True
        • Trigger - Run When On <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions

Deactivate Spell

• Turn Off
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Turn Off Immolation
  • Actions
    • -------- Running is a boolean. True=Spell is running. False=Spell is not running. --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Running Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Running = False
        • Trigger - Run When Off <gen> (checking conditions)
      • Else - Actions
