Indirect bounty awarded

For this function in my map:

JASS:

private function ActionTrigger takes nothing returns nothing
   local unit target = GetSpellTargetUnit()
   local integer i = GetPlayerId(GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()))

    call CasterCastAbility(Player(i), 'A02W', "unholyfrenzy", target, true)
    
    set target = null
endfunction

Using the CasterCastAbility function from Vex's castersystem, the function snatches a caster from a pool and gives it to Player(i) and makes it cast this modified unholyfrenzy to do damage over time to the target. Short of using some complex GetUserData or whatnot system, is there any way I can get the unit to give the player the appropriate bounty if it dies from the debuff? For a while I didn't notice this until I started seeing that I was not getting bounty rewarded whenever a unit died from the unholyfrenzy debuff. Any thoughts?

Pyrogasm	Use your own dummy casters and make sure they survive and owned by the proper player until the unit no longer has the buff or has died. 'tis the only way; the CasterSystem won't do it for you.

tamisrah	Actually it is possible to do this in caster system. There is a parameter called delay in 'CasterCastAbilityEx', which afaik may be used for exact that purpose. So you would use the duration of your buff + some buffer time to make sure that your hero would get the bounty.

zen87	use this before using CasterCastAbility JASS: function CasterSetRecycleDelay takes real Delay returns nothing where Delay is the maximum duration of your spell + 1 or +0.5

Pyrogasm	More specifically, I would do this: JASS: globals private real DELAY = 1.00 //Or whatever endglobals //In your function call CasterSetRecycleDelay(YourDuration+0.50) call CasterCastAbility(...) call CasterSetRecycleDelay(DELAY)
