Here it is:

• Black Mask
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Cinematic - Fade in over 0.00 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency

Remember, you have to fade it out, too

EDIT: TRD posted a much more explained way above at the same time I posted mine xD See his

 

[Element of Water]

That is not the best way way to do it. THIS is the way to do it - MUI and really simple:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your Ability>
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellTargetUnit()) then
    • Cinematic - Fade out and back in over (2.50 + (2.50 x (Real((Level of <Your Ability> for (Triggering unit)))))) seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: endif

Just replace <Your Ability> with, well, your ability

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Thx, I will see if I can do it

But I want it to be dark for 5/7.5/10 seconds, not just fade out and in during that time!

 

[MYHummeR]

Or, you make an Event that the unit cast the ability ETC ETC, then create this action:

Player Group - Pick every player in (Player group((Owner of (Target unit of ability being cast)))) and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Environment - Set fog to style Linear, z-start 10000000000.00, z-end 10000000000.00, density 0.00 and color (0.00%, 0.00%. 0.00%)

I have begun on Element of Water's but I got a problem, look my post above...

Edit: Yey, now it works, but can I do so the minimap image become black aswell?

 

[xXMephistoXx]

I think you can, but I really don't know how :S

 

[Jack_Sparrow93]

Ok, but how to do so the unit can't attack during it's blinded? Can you disable the attack like the banish abillity or how to do, add it to this trigger:

• Obscuro Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Obscuro
  • Actions
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellTargetUnit()) then
    • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Wait (2.50 + (2.50 + (Real((Level of Obscuro for (Triggering unit)))))) seconds
    • Cinematic - Fade in over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: endif

 

[Element of Water]

That trigger will cause your map to desync - you need to put endif after the first fade out and then put the if GetLocalPlayer() == GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellTargetUnit()) again before fading in (and you need endif again after fading in). To make the unit not able to attack? I think a better solution would be to give it a 100% miss chance. For that, just make a dummy unit cast modified curse on it.

 

[Eleandor]

then you also need a local player variable because I think GetSpellTargetUnit() returns null after a wait.

 

[Element of Water]

Ah, didn't know that... so this is the full trigger:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to <Your ability>
  • Actions
    • Custom script: local player p = GetOwningPlayer(GetSpellTargetUnit())
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
    • Cinematic - Fade out over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: endif
    • Wait (2.50 + (2.50 x (Real((Level of <Your ability> for (Triggering unit)))))) seconds
    • Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == p then
    • Cinematic - Fade in over 0.25 seconds using texture Black Mask and color (0.00%, 0.00%, 0.00%) with 0.00% transparency
    • Custom script: endif
    • Custom script: set p = null

Now I fixed the trigger like ur last post.

What does desync mean?

How to make a "dummy unit cast modified curse on it"? I'm not so good at triggers, but I learn more and more xD

 

[xXMephistoXx]

You couldn't just use Curse as a base ability..?

 

[Element of Water]

A desync is when a player "desynchronises" with the host - in other words, the game on the player's computer is at a different point to the game on the host's computer. This can cause "game splits" - where there are effectively 2 games running at once - or disconnection.

And how to make a dummy unit cast modified curse on it? Well...

1. Go into the object editor and create a custom ability based off curse. Reduce the mana cost to 0 and change the chance to miss to 100%. Also make it have 3 levels with different durations - 5.00, 7.50 and 10.00.

2. Create your dummy unit - this is basically a unit with a tiny scale size. Add your new curse ability to it, and also add the ability "locust" so it can't be selected.

3. In your trigger, create a dummy unit at the position of the target.

4. Set the level of your curse ability for the dummy equal to the level of the spell for the caster.

5. Order the dummy to Undead Banshee - Curse the target of the spell.

6. Add an expiration timer to the dummy unit with a duration of 0.5 seconds.

EDIT:
Ah, Mephisto, I do believe you have an easier option... ignore the above instructions, just make the base ability for your spell curse with 100% miss chance
