Hello !

Im working on a map but i've a little problem: one of my unit need the avatar buff mechanic but I dont know how to remove the passive ''immune to magic'' ! It's a bit problematic because my map really need the spells mechanics but I also need the 'avatar' lifepoints/armor mechanic for this unit !

Anyone know how to cancel the magic immune of the avatar spell ?

This is not MUI but *should* work like you want (kind of).

You won't have a buff on the unit this way, but technically it does everything you want. Just change "Item Life Bonus (Greater) to give 500 HP instead of 300 and it's good.

If you want the unit to have a buff just have a dummy unit cast a random spell that gives a buff with duration 60 and modify stats to not give anything. Alternatively edit Inner fire to give 5 armor (and no damage increase), then you remove "Unit - Add Item Armor Bonus (+5) to AvatarCaster" from the trigger, and change the icon and description of Inner fire buff to reflect your custom Avatar spell's properties.

If you need it to be MUI I am sure you can find someone more seasoned at spell making than me to alter the one I made for you.

Great job, thanks you Feelsgood :) Just one question, do you think it's possible to give the stone skin of the original avatar to mountain king ? This method is perfect but would be cool if the 'stone skin' can be used too

Do you mean the stone skin buff? If yes, then just have a dummy unit cast something that gives stone skin.

Edit: Ah, I see what you mean now. That is a Mountain King specific animation I believe. If the hero using Avatar is Mountain King then it is doable. If not then it is impossible.

Sorry, not quite sure I understood that correctly. You are trying to use the mountain king yes? If so, add the "alternate" animation to him. It should work, I think. I haven't tested it myself.

Edit: This worked:

  • Animation - Add the alternate animation tag to AvatarCaster
Just remember to remove the animation tag if the Mountain king dies or when Avatar duration hits 0.
