hmm, try a variation of shadowmeld with a casting trigger that takes away 1 mana every second. |

That or base the ability off of something that uses mana every second (like the "Immolation" ability) and just set damage to 0, and make a trigger that when the ability is cast it give the unit the "Invisible" ability, and when its done casting it removes the invisibility. Either way will work. |

no event for orderstrings... A unit starts casting a spell works cept i can't stop it ("stops casting a spell" refers to the time it takes to cast the spell same with "finishing casting spell" [ie: 1.67 seconds or somtin for flamestrike]) any suggestions? |

Stops casting a spell should work for immolation. |

What about Unit starts the effect of an ability and unit finishes the effect of an ability? |

funny i just made this... you also have to have when the unit's mana is at zero to remove permanent immolation. this is what i did (based off immolation) Trigger: Cloak On Events: Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target Conditions: (String((Issued order))) Equal to immolation (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Covert Ops Specialist Actions: Unit - Add Cloak Invisibility to (Ordered unit) Trigger: Cloak Off Events: Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target Conditions: (String((Issued order))) Equal to unimmolation (Unit-type of (Ordered unit)) Equal to Covert Ops Specialist Actions: Unit - Remove Cloak Invisibility from (Ordered unit) as i said above, you also need one where if the mana reaches zero, it removes the ability. Cloak Invisibility is an edited permanent invisibility with a 0 for duration so it doesnt uncloak when it attacks. Covert Ops Specialist is the unit with the ability. Edit: ah shoot I should have charged points for this like some other people would... j/k I'm benevolent. |
