Possesion on spellcaster

[Mithrandir]

First of all, I'm quite new to Worldedit, so my problem is probably not that much. I need to find a way to create a spell identical to the Banshee's Possession, but that will affect only spellcaster. I can't really find a way throught this.

If there is a way to create custom status, like "undead", "mecanical", "summon", etc, that would probably be the best way.

Thanks.

Could you please explain that a little bit better? It sounds like you want the Banshee to possess itself.

ahh do you want the spell to only work on spellcaster type units? if so you need a trigger that detects when the abilty is used and cheaks if the unit its used on is a spellcaster if it is then it cast possion on it

basicly your possion has to be a dummy abilty which means it does nothing execpt when its used it starts a trigger

E: a unit begans casting a spell
C: spell being cast equal to <your spell here>
A: if/then/else
IF: (unit being cast on equal to (<unit here>)) equal to true
THEN: remove casting unit
give casted on unit to owner of casting unit
ELSE: do nothing

sorry thats a little off ill put up a real trigger here in a second if soemone else doesnt beat me to it

edit: i may not get it on here i cant find the condition i was looking for sorry

 

[Mithrandir]

Yes, that was what I was looking for. Sorry if it wasn't clear. Thanks for the help UnknowVector. But I think witth that "IF" I will need to do a event for each type of spellcaster, isn't?

Ya, instead of doing that, why not just use a condition to check if the unit has mana?

Technically you COULD set each and every spell caster to an array and then run a condition to check whether or not the target is a member of the unit-types in that array.

I think.

Maybe.

Who knows?

Not me!

 

[dArKzEr0]

*Cough* ...or save time and check if the unit has mana?

dArKz

 

[DM Cross]

Don't some units that aren't actual "spellcasters" have mana, though?

 

[Laika.]

Hmm, it probably would be best to make a unit-group and add all the 'spellcasters' to that and make that your condition.

 

[dArKzEr0]

If you have mana, you're likely to have spells. Thus, you are a spellcaster . But I guess you could go with Alexander and Laika's way of doing it, though I find it easier to just say:

(Integer((Max mana of (Target unit of ability being cast)))) Greater than or equal to 1
((Target unit of ability being cast) is A Hero) Equal to False

I guess it all depends on your personal definition of "spellcaster"

Bingo.

Use Darkzer0's way if you want it to basically work on anything with mana. However, you'll have to prevent it from working on Heroes, don't forget, but that's already on the spell.

However.

If you want it to target SPECIFIC units, such as only Shamen, Priests, and the basic melee spellcasters from the 4 main races, then you should use my inital way.

(Note: Darkzer0's way is faster. Mine is more specific. Both have ups, downs, and lefts )

 

[Mithrandir]

Thanks to both of you .

I think I will use Alexander's method, because I want to target only specific spellcasters.

Meh, I lose
