Hi... I've tried looking for a question similar to mine but I have yet to see it. Anyway, I wanted to ask how I could get units with a specific aura buff to obtain an entirely different buff, and keep it while under the aura buff. I'm pretty new and my triggering sucks...but any help would be appreciated... cause when i start the game I can't select anything. I tried to use brilliance aura (Cloak) to give units an invisibility ability (InvisBuffAb - based off Inner Fire with Invisibility buff)... but I guess I don't fully understand picking units...or unpicking them Also is there a way to use the position from the hero instead of using a dummy buff? Do I have to place the hero in the game to use Event - Unit Within Range, or can I use a variable? None of the variables seem to work for it. No doubt about it that I did something wrong...but can someone tell me how to fix it? Thanks in advance.. Trigger:   Invis Aura
  Events
   Time - every 5.00 seconds of game time
 Conditions
  Actions
  Set Cloaked = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Triggering unit) has buff Cloak ) Equal to True))
 Unit Group - Pick every unit in Cloaked and do (Unit - Add InvisAbBuff to (Picked Unit))
Unit Group - Remove all units from Cloaked |

Well, first off you can't just give a unit a buff; that does nothing. Buffs are just the tooltip thing, the effects come from the ability. And yeah, you could easily do it without using a dummy buff. You'll need a rudimentary knowledge of variables and leak-fixing, but it would look something like this: Trigger: Events Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game-time Conditions Actions Set TempGroup = (Units in (Playable Map Area) matching ((Level of (Cloaking Field) for (Matching Unit)) greater than 1))) Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Set TempUnit = (Picked Unit) Set TempPoint = Position of (TempUnit) Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true UnitGroup - Pick every unit in (Units within 600.00 of TempPoint matching ((Matching Unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (TempUnit))) and ((Matching Unit) has buff Cloak) equal to false)) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit) to CloakGroup Set TempPoint2 = Position of (Picked Unit) Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Picked Unit)) at TempPoint2 facing (Default Building Facing) degrees Unit - Add Cloak (Dummy) to (Last created unit) Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit) Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Sorceress - Invisibility (Picked Unit) Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2) Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2) Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup) Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in Playable Map Area matching ((((Matching Unit) is in CloakGroup) equal to false) and (((Matching Unit) has buff Cloak) equal to true) )) and do (Actions) Loop - Actions Unit - Remove buff Cloak from (Picked Unit) Unit Group - Clear CloakGroup |
