Phattim told me that sleep could be used to enhance a spell with triggers without JASS. How is this done? |

Guest | well you'd just use triggers. which triggers depends on what you want to do. the problem when not using jass is that i'm not sure there is a way to find when the mana drops-- so the spell could be cast from anywhere on the map. really, just about any spell can be used- i dont think that sleep is any better than most-- it's just a matter of making.... oh wait, you mean that you wont have to edit the spell either dont you? yeah, sleep is probably the best then. what are you looking to do? |

i mean like basically to trigger enhance a spell without JASS, it has to have something else it can recognize without range. So for area of effect, u can use a ward. its like Event: unit enters playable map region Condition : unit is Spell Ward Actions : kill all units within 500 of triggering unit kill triggereing unit And Aoe from the hero can be used with just dummy warstomp. So how could u use sleep to detect when a spell is cast, like \ Event : (beats me what to put here) Condition: (this is why im asking the question) Action: destroy (sleeped) unit. PHATTIM and some other people told me u could do it with sleep and im wanting to know..... how? |

Guest | event- unit owned by player x issues an order targeting an object condition- issue ordered is equal to sleep (assuming that's the string of the order) action- what you want. |

I have not read anything, but to explain what Jumob's thingy does: When someone uses the spell "sleep" (Since there are no conditions, it can be any unit, anywher) It will set of whatever actions you have. Regards Dead-Inside |

The problem with Mr. Jumbos solution is that when the order, _not_ the actual spell, is detected so for instance, I could stand on one side of the map cast sleep on another guy on the other side and it will trigger without the guy being sleeped. I reccomend going over to Campaigncreations and download the sleep explosion spell, it uses jass, however it will get the job done. |

Yes, and also you could cast the spell and then stop it. The order would get out anyway. However, there are ways to do some spells without jass, like hero boosting. You only base it on spirit wolf, or water elemental, change the unit, then unit enters playable map area unit equals [special unit insert here] actions... only spell with targets (Many many spells that is) requires JASS. Much irritating, let's hope there's a "spell is cast"- trigger in TFT. |

OK OK, I know all about the range problem with JASS spells and I know all about how 2/3 types of spells can be done without JASS by using dummy warstomp and dummy summons. However, PHATTIM (i dont know if he knows what he was talking about) but he told me that Sleep could be used for just a single unit trigger enhanced spell -Without JASS- I want to know if anyone can confirm this. |

Can't seem how it would work. There aren't even a "unit falls asleep" trigger. |
