Who's the target of the item...

Tide-Arc Ephemera	I'm using an item as a one-use ability for a very powerful spell, I can cast it and everything, but it won't get detected. I'm using GUI on UMSWE so is there any function to select the targeted unit, if not, a custom script line?

Rising_Dusk

Use for the event "Unit starts the effects of an ability" and for the target use "Target unit of ability being cast."
For the condition, have it "Ability being cast is equal to <name of my ability that I gave to the item>"

Basically --

Trigger:

Events

Unit - Any unit starts the effects of an ability

Conditions

Ability being cast equal to <Item Ability Here>

Actions

Custom Script - //Do stuff for your item thingy here

Tide-Arc Ephemera

Trigger:

GT Ungodly Magic

Events

Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equal to (==) ITEM Deadly Bolt (Neutral Hostile)

Actions

Wait 0.10 seconds

If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)

If - Conditions

(Percentage life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) Greater than (>) 50.00

Then - Actions

Unit - Set life of (Triggering unit) to ((Percentage life of (Target unit of ability being cast)) - 50.00)%

Else - Actions

Unit - Set life of (Target unit of ability being cast) to 1.00

Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast) for 50.00 using attack type Spells and damage type Normal.

I did something wrong... just I don't know what... it's trivially not damaging the target... and yes, I also checked the item is using the ability ITEM Deadly Bolt

Rising_Dusk	Target Unit of ability being cast loses its reference after a wait. Store the unit to a variable.

Tide-Arc Ephemera	There were two mild errors in what I was scripting, and the variable fixed the second one, I found the first one though. NO REP FOR YOU, no I'm not an ass, +Rep
