Triggered Ability Not Working

[ZeroThirteen]

The ability I'm trying to get to work is based on Raise Dead. When used, it creates a shield around the caster. The spell is cast and the corpse disappears, but I can't get the effect to work. Here's the code:

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

(Ability being cast) Equal to Bone Armor 

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    If - Conditions
        (Level of Bone Armor  for (Triggering unit)) Equal to 1
    Then - Actions
        Unit - Add Bone Armor +2  to (Triggering unit)
        Wait 40.00 seconds
        Unit - Remove Bone Armor +2  from (Triggering unit)
    Else - Actions
        Do nothing

See any problems?

Make the ability based on Frost Armor.

It gives the armor bonus, and take "cold damage" out.

There, simple.
OR, you're making other than armor...?

 

[ZeroThirteen]

It needs to target a corpse, but grant the armor bonus to the caster. You can't do that through Frost Armor.

Can't see an error in that code. Does the "bone armor +2" work properly (if added via trigger without any conditions)?

 

[ZeroThirteen]

I added it through trigger without the conditions and it didn't even give me the buff that's added to it. I could go back and check (it's based on Item Armor Bonus +2, but I disabled the "Item Ability" field), but I think it works.

Oh..

I thought you meant that..

Hmm, just like Cannizable.. or something that removes the corpse then instead of giving that HP, grant him more armor for seconds..

 

[ZeroThirteen]

I can't add the ability to grant armor through Cannibalize. If I did it through triggers, it would work, but that's what I'm already doing with Raise Dead.

 

[s3rius]

I think item abilities (or abilities based on item abilities) cannot have any buffs. And try setting it back to Item Ability (I am using the armor bonus like that, too, and it works for me.)

 

[131ackout]

So, try make a buff for your ability instead of the hero that grants two bonus armor..

I think so..

 

[ZeroThirteen]

Should I just add the buff through triggers for the duration of the spell and change the ability back to an item ability, then?

 

[131ackout]

Maybe..

Why don't you test it?
