Spell not Working

[RoarMan]

This spell is not working as intended. What it does is when the caster of the spell takes damage, the unit he casted the spell on takes a percentage of the damage. When I use the skill however, the enemy does not take any damage the caster takes.

                    Else - Actions

1) Use "Starts the effect of an ability" instead of "Begins casting an ability".
2) There's no "Triggering unit" in the second trigger (i believe) .

 

[ZiggyMcjoney]

Yes, there is a triggering unit.

Triggering unit = The unit taking the damage
Damage Source = The unit dealing the damage

He might have used Triggering unit instead of Damage source accidentally depending on what he wanted to do, but there is definitely a triggering unit

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Oh yeah.
I forgot the first trigger adds the event to the second one .

And for the condition;
Shouldn't it be "Picked unit" instead of "Damage source"?

 

[RoarMan]

Thanks for the input, but what's the difference between "Starts the effect of an ability" and "A unit begins casting an ability"?

 

[RoarMan]

I tried with "Starts the effect of an ability," and it didn't solve the problem. The ability that places the buff is based off of spirit link if that helps, and could

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing ((Damage taken) x (0.25 x (Real((Level of Shadow Bind  for (Triggering unit)))))) damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal

be the problem?

Bump umpity ump.

1) Use "Starts the effect of an ability" instead of "Begins casting an ability".

is not always good... really only thing is that it can be abused, but here it only add unit to trigger without any futher effects. btw it should be "Begins casting ability" because unit have to be added before damage event -.-

about the topic.
i think there should be ((picked unit) has buff Shadow Bind ) Equal to True. btw you could use pick all units matching condition (matching unit have buff)

i think it should work like that
