I don't know if you can detect if Defend is active directly, but you can use another method. You could detect when Defend is activated for a unit, and then set a boolean to true, then when Defend is deactivated, set the boolean back to false. Then you can check if Defend is active by checking if the boolean is set to true.
I think that defend is exactly as the immolation spell. It can be detected only with the event "units stops the effect of an ability". At least i know that is what detects immolation in my triggers.
I'm trying to achieve this: If a unit attacks a defending footman, something happens, if it attacks a non-defending footman, something else happens. How do I achieve this? Any ideas? I mean, I can't make a boolean for every foot man a player is going to train, can I?
I don't think there is a way to detect if a footman has or not the defend activated (because as far as i know the defend doesn't have a buff...) only when he activates it or not.
Well... it looks like I'll have to use some less impressive means to achieve this
I'll just morph the Footman to a new unit called Footman Defend or something, the morph it back. A bit of a pain, but... Different unit-types are what the triggers can distinguish...
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
I'm on a page about incorrect corrections, and spent the better part of like two hours trying to get someone to understand that -5^2 = -25, not 25, and then that post had comments get reposted because that group is self sustaining, and that person was in turn trying to explain what I just explained to them. And I'm taking that as a victory
