Something -> Magic

[Ynklig]

Heyho

I want to make Shadow Strike to a "Magic" ability instead of what it is. I need it to be Magic to be able to dispell it with an ability. Is that possible?

Thanks Ynk

You can just make a dummy dispel ability one with no stat or data effects (or just use the standard dispel) and make a trigger that when the dummy ability (or dispel) is cast on a unit then it removes the shadow strike buff from the targeted unit. I'm pretty confident that would work

You think you can help me with this spell? Writing it up and all that.

 

[MurderMode]

what spell are you using to dispel the shadow strike?

 

[Ynklig]

I´m using dispel.

um I don't know if there is a way to use an area of affect spell to debuff a unit... so you are going to have to make a new ability. It has to be an ability that targets a unit.

I used banish as a base, changed its name, removed its buffs and set its unit and hero duration to 0.01 (so the unit doesnt get banished).

Then I added this trigger to the game -

ShadowStrike Debuff
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Dispel MAGIC 
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                ((Target unit of ability being cast) has buff Shadow Strike) Equal to True
            Then - Actions
                Unit - Remove Shadow Strike buff from (Target unit of ability being cast)
            Else - Actions

It works, just set the ability being cast condition to whatever your custom made ability is.

You can try picking units within the area of (Target Point of Ability Being Cast) and removing buff from those units.
However, this has a flaw.
