Animate Dead Ability?

[Faestus]

I made a ability based on Animate Dead Item but when I trigger a unit to cast it it won't work.

• Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Undead Death Knight - Animate Dead

The function looks like this. Is there a problem with it (Works perfectly when activated manually)

Are you sure you haven't changed the ability order ID?

I'll need to see the whole trigger to say anything.

 

[Maker]

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 852258)

• Custom script: call IssueImmediateOrderById(GetTriggerUnit(), 852258)

I don't see how doing the exact same thing with custom text would fix anything.

Neither do I. That is why I gave him the correct order id.

The problem may be because you have the ability in the object editor set to "Item Ability" instead of "Unit Ability".
I mean, check those two things inside the object editor while you have selected the spell :

1. "Stats - Hero Ability"
2. "Stats - Item Ability"

If the caster is a unit, set both of them to false. If it's a hero, set the first one to true and the second one to false.
However, i don't think this will do something...

^No, the problem is that the Undead Death Knight ability has different order id than the item ability.

Tried that but it doesn't seem to work.

As for the order string, it uses the same.

Post your trigger.

You have some kind of error in there.

I just confirmed what maker said, 852217 works for hero ability and 852258 for the item ability if you have added it to the unit.
It doesn't sound like it from your opening post but if you are trying to use an actual item then i believe theres a gui function for that.
If it as an actual item ability you have added to a unit, i'm not sure why you wouldnt just use the normal hero ability unless you're trying to use 2 animate deads straight after one another.
If you are desperate a final method is to make a rune with animate dead and add it to the unit when you want it to cast, i'm pretty sure that would work, it works with most other instant no target abilties.
