Hi Every1,

Base spell is finger of death. It was storm bolt with stun duration set to 0 but that gives it a perma stun so changed it.

The casts increment but no damage occurs nor does the "miss" text or "hit" text. And "TempCreep" is used for "CreepAC"

try using starts the effect of an ability instead of begins casting an ability.

try using starts the effect of an ability instead of begins casting an ability.

I forgot to add in why I'm using begins casting. Its so the "Stop" order stops the spell before the graphic effects.

It was on "Starts effect" but was the same out come

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

this event doesn't register (Target unit of ability being cast), so you might want to use an alternative

 

[inevit4ble]

I beg to differ. Seems to work fine, but what do you suggest it be?
Besides "Starts Effect"

 

[Dirac]

Weird, i've encountered problems with (Target unit of ability being cast) before using that event. Maybe using an ability with no graphics or casting time? Such as berserk or battle roar

 

[inevit4ble]

But isn't battle roar AoE? So there won't be a "target unit"...? Perhaps?

 

[X-maul]

well, you could take all units in (range of ability) range of casting unit matching your conditions and put them in a unit group.
