Change to cast purge when auto attack problem

[leon0007]

I use ability bash as base spell but it will not trigger the purge. How to correct it?

And - All (Conditions) are true

I advice you to use the ability of the item Orb of Lightning and make it a hero skill or a unit skill. That will be a lot simpler.

Completely forget about lightning orb. Thanks for the advise.

pretty sure you lose the "last created unit" after the .2 second wait

Even if I cancel that 0.2second wait still not working

I don't know if you already went with another solution, but for future reference, what was said above is true. Both "Last created unit" and "Attacked unit" are global variables, and can be overwritten during the .2 wait. Using "Triggering Unit" for event response is better.

Otherwise the trigger looks like it should work, have you made sure your dummy unit has the required mana to cast Purge, or alternatively make a custom Purge with 0 mana cost.

Ps. I recommend using a longer expiration timer for dummy units (2-3 seconds), there are situations where 1 second might not be enough.

It also depends on the duration of the Stunned buff. The trigger only gets activated when the unit starts to attack the already buffed victim. Ie, the trigger is not supposed to trigger right when the victim gets buffed.

Yup. You're better off checking if the attacker has the ability "Purge" in the conditions, and if it has, order a dummy to cast Purge on the target.

As others have said, generally dummy units are created for 3 seconds for stability purposes, and you should never use global variables after a wait (0.20 second here). If your dummy unit has been configured adequately, no wait should be required anyway.

Make sure it has no animation cast/backswing and that it has mana.
