Is it possible to check whether or not the target of a casted ability is killed by that ability?

What I mean is, if a unit casts an ability that does 9001 damage, is it possible to check, in triggers, whether or not the unit was killed by the ability and then do some action.

-> example, Unit uses Ability (SuperSkill) - condition: Target of unit is killed by SuperSkill

Thanks

Create global variable of type -Game Link -> Effect

1. Create a trigger as follows:

• Event: Any unit takes damage from any effects
• Local Variable: Game Link -> Effect = Triggering Effect
• Local Variable: Integer = Triggering Damage Taken
• Condition: lv_effect == gv_effect
• Actions: IF(lv_damageTakenInt > triggerUnit Life) blah

I can't find Triggering Damage Taken for the Integer variable also, why not just make it unit takes damage from my specific ability effect?

do that then, but that's global spec, and not local spec. So it'll occur if multiple units have that ability.

alright Thanks! I got it to work relatively easily. One other thing, I want to make the cost of the ability zero as well. Can I do that in triggers or do I need to do something in Data?

@Terminator8: Go

• Cost 0 if it kills = Data/Triggers
• Cost 0 no matter what = Data

A simpler method would be to have a trigger

Unit takes Fatal damage from (Damage effect here)
