I'm not sure if this is something I should do through triggers or the data editor, so I apologize if this should be in the "triggers" forum, but "Thanks!" in advance for the help.
I have an ability in my game that fires an explosion from the caster and kills all units of a specific unit type in a radius. After the using the ability I want to grant the unit a behavior based on how many units were killed by the search effect.
I also want to add a text tag on impact, so I'm hoping I can do it through a trigger, but I can't find a good way to do it through either at the moment.
Update: I found 1 way to do this, but I figure I'll keep the thread up in case someone else knows a better way
I made a trigger that runs when my ability is used. To grab the number of units hit by the ability I just count the number of units in (unit group: find units) with the specific unit type.
I had to add a short Create Persistent delay to the ability so the units don't die before they are counted, so it's not perfect, but it's working

Any help is very much appreciated! Thank you

ModeratorsCould apply a set effect to the targets killing them and adding a buff stack back to the caster.

Good call, DrSuperEvil. What I'm doing now seems to be working, but I'll keep that in mind if I do it again.
