About removing reincarnation after one use

[Kurt_Barlow]

Hi there, boys and girls. Ive been trying to remove the "Reincarnation" Ability (Tauren's Chiefatain Ult) from an unit after one use. I have tried to remove it via GUI (not good at jass at all...) and the event "Unit starts the effect of an ability" doesnt recognize Reincarnation as an ability effect. If anyone out there know how to do it, i would be grateful. Thanks for the attention.

You can always use reincarnation item.

Try this though:

Remove Reincarnation

• Remove Reincarnation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Wait x seconds
    • Unit - Remove Reincarnation from (Dying unit)

x = the Reincarnation delay

 

[Revolve]

Also use

• Condition - Unit Type of (Dying Unit) Equal to (Your Unit)

^^

NOOOOOOO.....

wait functions are VERY BAD and you should NEVER EVER use them!

Instead, do something like:

Event:
A unit dies
Conditions:
Unit is of type X
Actions:
Set UnitLoc = position of dying unit
Create one (unit of type X) at UnitLoc
Remove (Reincarnation) from last created unit
custom script call destroy UnitLoc

or... something like that.. I'm sure there's a better way but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE don't use wait functions cause those just SUCK.

EDIT:
But yeah just using the item version is probably the best way you could do it...

Nightsong your trigger wouldn't work, if he's trying to ressurect a hero that is.

 

[UreDe4D]

if i remember correctly, you cannot use Unit - A Unit dies as an event, as a unit with reincarnation doesn't actually die. still im not sure how to detect it

 

[Eleandor]

How about you simply make a dummy ability "Reincarnation".
When a unit dies that has this dummy ability (integer condition: level of reincarnation dummy > 0), you remove the ability and Resurrect the unit.

Can't be that bad.

Eleandor's idea is the best one I've heard.

Just make a passive ability that does nothing

And do this:

Reincarnation

• Reincarnation
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Reincarnation Dummy for (Decaying unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
  • Actions
    • Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Position of (Dying unit)), Hide revival graphics
    • Unit - Remove Reincarnation Dummy from (Dying unit)

That's assuming you want to reincarnate a hero. If you want to reincarnate a unit, just replace the dying unit with another type of dying unit. Then remove the ability from Last replaced unit.

To detect reincarnation you have to use JASS. Simply make Unit's Life becomes less than 1 (bcs 0 is bugged) and in action if the units life is equal or less than 0 remove reincarnation.

Wow, fast replies thanks for the attention guys
Ive though on using the "Unit dies" event, but i found it annoying that reincarnation "saves" the unit from death. Also its an AoS map and if a hero happens to die, several triggers are activated, so i cant just ress him at the position... The reincarnation comes from a buff...if someone could post the function to detect reincarnation (life<1 that the guy said) and remove it, would help a lot...i dont know jass hehe. again, thanks for the attention and sorry about grammar errors, im brazilian.

 

[reza sword2]

Just try my way if you don't want to use JASS. But really, it's up to you.

I don´t know did i understand it but if you want to remove "Reincarnation" there is an ability "revive hero" (natural-special) and just remove ability with trigger when you want it....

 

[Kurt_Barlow]

I would try you suggestion, reza...but as i said, my map is an AoS and the death of a hero triggers many actions, and i cant let em die. So i need the jass function to do it, thanks for the help tho,

wait actions are not so bad.....
you can set variables but you must not change them for X seconds

for example

event-unit dies
set UNIT = dying unit
wait X seconds
revive UNIT

 

[Kurt_Barlow]

so...can someone post the code for removing reincarnation in JASS?

 

[Bwathke]

You can always use reincarnation item.

Thats the easiest way if you dont want to use triggers.
