Vampirism pillage? effect.

[Odi]

Hey this is my first post on the site, and i was wondering if you are firmilliar with the vampirism ultra type games where vampires get money from attacking buildings/units. The point is im trying to make this effect work when my vampire attacks only the HUMAN race. <can this be done by using a trigger? well if so i would really appreciate if you could type the trigger format of it.

Thanks

Well, you could give your units the Pillage ability and set its allowed targets to "none" according to a recent thread. Then trigger any unit using that ability (starting the effect of an ability? I'll test some stuff for you if you want) to give its owner X gold, and use a condition along the lines of "(Race of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to Human
"

It could look like this

• I warned you all
  • Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Pillage
  • (Race of (Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast))) Equal to Human
  • Actions
  • Player - Add 10 to (Owner of (Casting unit)) Current gold

But I'm not sure if this event/condition works on pillage. Either way, make sure you set its "targets allowed" field to "none" instead of setting its gold/lumber gain amount to 0 because apparently that makes your game crash.
