Detecting Orders

[zepho]

How do I detect (in JASS) if unit moves, casts a spell or attacks a unit? For example, when a unit starts the effect of an ability, add another ability to it. Then, when unit moves, casts a spell or attacks a unit, the ability added will be removed. How will I do that?

This sounds simple to do - in JASS or otherwise.

You need two triggers; the first will have one event polling for the ability you have in mind. The second will have three events: unit moves, unit casts, unit attacks. Its conditions however, must require the triggering unit to have the added ability.

The rest is easy.

Let me know if you need more help with this.

The ability I am making is a phase-shift spell based on Faerie Dragon's Phase Shift but not auto-cast. When I use the phase shift ability, add Invulnerable ability ('Avul') to it, then wait .75+(.5 x level of ability) if the unit has no action. But if the unit moves, casts or attacks a unit, remove the Invulnerable ability.
