Detecting target type

[Centreri]

I have a basic ability that switches the positions of the caster and another unit, and I want to expand its function to if the target is a point instead of the unit, just teleport the caster.

So, how do I word the conditions such that it does X if the target is a point and Y if the target is a unit?

Well i think you need to make 2 different triggers.
One: Event: A unit is issued an order targeting a point.
Actions:set tmpPoint = point of ability being cast.
Move unit instantly to tmpPoint
call RemoveLocation(udg_tmpPoint)

Two: Event: A unit is issued an order targeting a object.
Actions: Switch the units ....

add an if/then/else, with the condition Target Unit of Ability being cast = No Unit. then add the actions for ground-target effect, and add the unit target effect to Else section

or you could try basing it off channel, setting allowed target to point/unit target.

then in the trigger use both position of target unit of ability, and point of ability being cast.

only the valid one should work.

thats a bit excessive. imo try this

If:
 Target Unit of Ability Being Cast equal to No Unit
Then:
 Display text to All Players: Ground target
Else:
 Display text to All Players: Unit target

if the correct text is displayed when u target ground or unit, that shud work perfectly

Ah.. Target = no unit. That should work. Thanks.
