Is there a way to find affected units from like shock wave or healing wave, or chain lightening. (Without triggering the move, just a unit finding trigger etc.)
Just an idea. How about having a certain dummy for the wave spell. Instead of using the wave by the hero itself use a dummy spell and create the dummy unit to use the wave. Now you have to add every unit that enters the map to the trigger where you want to do something with the units that get hit by the wave.
[a trigger where you can add the event a Unit is damaged]. Now you check whether the damage source was done by the unit that is the certain dummy, and in case it is, perform your actions.
I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
