Autocast by default problem with buildings

[neetmaster]

Hello.
I have this problem where a newly constructed building wont activate autocast by default even if I set the skill as default active ability.

Any workaround to this?

trigger
event-contructed structure
condition-structure is blah
action order last constructed to activate whatever

As far as I know, it's impossible. I've never seen anyone manage to activate autocast with a trigger.

@istar: And that is supposed to work... how?

EDIT: Hmm. Only newly constructed, then? I've only had problems with broken autocast after upgrading a structure. Odd.

it doesnt work? i pretty sure it worked with abolish magic in my structure in my map...i shall go check later...
edit: i remember wrongly i guess...?

Actually, it does.

As an example, give some Watch Tower "Searing Arrows (Neutral Hostile)":
Event:
- Unit - A unit Finishes construction
Conditions:
- (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Watch Tower
Actions:
- Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Night Elf Priestess Of The Moon - Activate Searing Arrows

Works just fine.
He'll even turn it on if he doesn't have any mana...


Then again, you get the same effect without trigger with "Searing Arrows" in "abilities - default active ability".


It might help to know what spell he's using. And some details on what he changed on his unit.

eh? i got 2 contradictory testing results
on a computer with patch 1.21, i added abolish magic remove tech requirement to ancient protector, added in default ability, it doesnt activate
yet on another computer with patch 1.22, it activate???
i shall check again later, but now busy CNY!
