How can I detect if a skill is activated?

[MiddleHanded]

I have this skill that can be activated to deal a percentage of your mana as bonus damage, but I can't detect if it's activated or not.

how would I do this?

your information provided is too little, which skill you base off?

im guessing you want to detect it in a trigger right?

• Spell detect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your Spell
  • Actions
    • Do Your actions

It depends on which skill you are using for the spell. If you are using a skill that grants a temporary buff like Avatar or Berserk, you can either detect the effect of the ability or the buff on the casting unit. If you are using an attack enhanching skill like an arrow, you can either detect the order to enable or disable auto-cast or use a damage detection system with the arrow's target buff.

First tell us which skill you are using for this purpose.

Sorry for not replying soon.

1.) I based the skill off searing arrows.
2.) "Starts the effect of an ability" doesn't seem to work, I tried it before posting here.

I'm also new here, so I don't know how you would post triggers in their own form, so I can't really tell you what I have right now.

• Trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued Order) Equal To searingarrowson (Or whatever the Order string is)
  • Actions
    • ----------Whatever-----------

Dont double post.


To show a trigger, right click on the trigger name when you load it up, and click Copy as Text. There we are, put them in [noparse]

[/noparse] tags.
