poly/hex being cast on me

[lost lake]

I want to make a text wa that displays the word "shapeshift" when poly/hex is being cast on me.

Would this be trigger - player/unit info - cast - unit type (arena) - cast type(channel) - spell ID(118/51514) - casters target (player) ?

It's not a channel and you'd need separate triggers for all the spells (maybe different ones for all the different Poly versions?)

Also keep in mind, especially for cc the target of the caster is not the target of the cast

What do you mean

[cunning basalt]

I can cast on my focus

I can cast on mouseover

Both which are not my target

[lost lake]

Right, so the target of the caster is not always the target of the cast but most of the time it probably is

For damage abilities maybe, depends if it's a hard hitter. For cc I kinda doubt that, except it's very low ratings.
You can do what you described with the changes asakawa mentioned

Oh okay it's not a channel that makes sense, and yeah I have it as different triggers, but at least this way if the caster is targeting me and casting these abilities, my WA will yell at me

Also, the whole cast vs channel thing, does cast mean both instant casts and castbar abilities?

Or should I just uncheck that

[cunning basalt]

cast means its casting

channel is channeling like mind sear of shadow priests

gotcha, what does nameplate mean?

anything with a nameplate?

any unit*

if its about arena, you can use the arena unit
