Dying unit has buff

[Magazette2]

How would I do this because it doesn't seem to work

 

[Kazuga]

When the unit dies the buff is removed...?
You would need "dying unit had buff" but of what I know it doesn't exist.

Trigger Name
    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) has buff [B][U]BUFF[/U][/B]) Equal to True
    Actions
         [B][U]Do what ever you want here[/U][/B]

That's what he used but it didn't work...?

Hmm. Dunno :S

Dead units do not have any buffs...


If you need it, well, detect when the spell that adds it is cast, put the unit in some group.
Periodically (every 1.0 seconds will do) check if the unit still has the buff.
If the buff is gone, remove it from the group.

If it dies and is still in the group, it had the buff when dying.

what if it is an aura

 

[darkRae]

Dying unit simply doesn't have buff.
No, you can't do anything about this.

EDIT:
If it's aura, then check every second for units within range of some unit, and if it has the aura buff, add it into a unit group.

> what if it is an aura

That's somewhat hairy... as you would need to constantly add all units nearby to the group...

 

[Kazuga]

You could start the trigger when the unit has less than somewhere around 5 hp.

Well, if my Hero does 50-70 damage, that's instant death to anything with, let's say 20hp.
You would also need a damage detection system.

so the best way to go would be periodically checking whether unit is in group?
