Description
Creating mirror image using trigger is impossible no more. vJass version is also available here.

It's highly recommended to use this illusion library instead, if you know vJass. It's been approved and is much better than mine (no requirement and works on magic immune unit). But you have to work a little on object editor part.​

Known bug
When you create an illusion of structure/building unit, it will initially play "birth" animation. But you can play it's "stand" animation right after the create function is executed. Just like the way I changed the illusion's size in the demo trigger.​

Requirements
- DDD
- UnitIndexer by Bribe
- UnitEvent by Bribe​

How to install
1. Import dummy.mdx at import manager
2. Install all required systems correctly
3. Copy Dummy, ILLUSION_ITEM, ILLUSION_ABILITY_1 & ILLUSION_ABILITY_2 at Object Editor
4. Make sure ILLUSION's ability is ILLUSION_ABILITY_2
5. Configure the system​

How to use

I'm sorry, perhaps previous file was not working properly after I saved it using normal WE, at least for me. So I have re-uploaded a new file. Still searching for the problem.

:3 this is first GUI Resource you made :D
lol

No one likes vJass and I think worldwide should know about this system then I made the GUI version so everyone can use.

I've already told you that there are few flaws/bugs in your vJass version.
You should at first make sure your jass script works properly, then release GUI version.

I've even pasted the example of how you can get improper results which clearly could lead to collapsing of whole instanciation process.

No it does not :(
You basically changed nothing, I was able to break your system in a second :(

You seem to miss the point: since there is delay between UnitUseItemTarget and actual appearance of illusion, the numerous calls could occur before the onIndex method fires - we have created many illusions, but instanciated just one.

Thats why you need to create a queue of some kind to store each illusion created via this system. When I find some free time, I'll check my "Illusion", see the problem and help you out with your script.

have you tested the newest update? It works alright when I created 12 images at the same time, or I need to test it for 100 units?

Click to expand...
you seem like very sure about that.

EDIT:
it works alright for 48 creations at once. I wont make future tests because 48 creations hits OP limit.
the numerous calls could occur before the onIndex method fires
Click to expand...
I missed that part. You are right, a function call between the operation could break it. Looking for the solution.

Another example:
JASS: 
scope TestIllusion initializer init

	private function onCast takes nothing returns boolean
		local unit u = GetSpellTargetUnit()
		call Illusion.create(GetTriggerPlayer(), GetUnitTypeId(u), GetUnitX(u), GetUnitY(u), 0)
		set u = null
		return false
	endfunction

	private function init takes nothing returns nothing
		local trigger t = CreateTrigger()
		call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ(t, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT)
		call TriggerAddCondition(t, Condition(function onCast))
		set t = null
	endfunction

endscope
Test this together with your "Create" trigger (the 'esc' one). Let them both be enabled at the same time.

hello , I'm currently using bribe's damage detection system in my map and I'm gonna have this system too , since it uses a different damage detection system (DDD) does this cause a malfunction?

His DDD System would need a compatibility version to work with Damage Engine. I should be able to create one for you tomorrow; it'd be similar to the ones i made for PDD and GDD.

Ok turns out it was easier to change this system to just use Damage Engine instead of creating a wrapper for DDD (a system Quilnez created which has features I don't replicate in DamageEngine). So I've attached it here.

Great ! That was exactly what I wanted ! Sorry if I'm obsessive and I ask too much , but , I already installed damage engine and unit event system in my map , so all I have to do is copy this system's folder and ability and item , and then configure them? no need for any other systems such as DDD?

Yeah, i think there are 2 abilities in the map though. Make sure you follow his installation instructions to ensure it is set up correctly. DDD is not needed though.

Hello , sorry to bother you again , but I felt like I have to say this , it seems this system has some problems with your knock back system , when both are installed and enabled , when I try to knock back some units it causes something more than a crash! the computer totally stops! and memory use goes up every second (from 250 Mb which is normal Warcraft map to like 750 Mb just in a few seconds after casting knock back)
