Some questions

[Kershbob]

Firstly, is there a "loses a buff" event? Or does "finishes the effects of an ability" mean that?




Secondly, I have a trigger to give abilities to units who have killed more than a few enemies; this works through custom values. The values work fine because I added a test script that displays every unit's value but the abilities are still never learnt. Here's the script:

    [B]Events[/B]
        Unit - A unit Dies
    [B]Conditions[/B]
        ((Killing unit) is A structure) Equal to False
        ((Killing unit) is A Hero) Equal to False
        (Owner of (Killing unit)) Not equal to Neutral Passive
    [B]Actions[/B]
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Custom value of (Killing unit)) Less than 20
            Then - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        (Custom value of (Killing unit)) Less than 10
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Set the custom value of (Killing unit) to ((Custom value of (Killing unit)) + ((Custom value of (Dying unit)) + 1))
                    Else - Actions
                        Unit - Add Battle-Worn  to (Killing unit)
                        Unit - Set the custom value of (Killing unit) to ((Custom value of (Killing unit)) + ((Custom value of (Dying unit)) + 1))
            Else - Actions
                Unit - Add Veteran  to (Killing unit)
                Unit - Set the custom value of (Killing unit) to ((Custom value of (Killing unit)) + ((Custom value of (Dying unit)) + 1))

Forgot to mention that the unit gets a higher addtion to it's custom value if the unit it is killing is more experienced.

No.

No.
Buffs wear off over time (usually), but the ability is, normally, long since gone...

 

[Kershbob]

So if I want something to happen when a unit loses a buff what do I do? I tried the event to be unit casts an ability and then added "wait - <duration of buff>" but that doesn't seem to work.

I still don't know what's wrong with that veteran script.

are you sure waiting the durration of the buff doesn't work? that seems like it should

 

[mems]

dont use wait commands in loops group actions ect.. they dont work
you may
first loop do actions that spell should do
then wait
and do what you want in a second loop

for the main trigger adding ability does not means anything for heros spetially if they has more than 1 levels, they also must learn this ability too

try making abilities with 1 level, making them unit ability ect..
