Buff on kill effect

[mullery1990]

Hey, i'm sorry if this has already been answered if so can someone just direct me to the right thread pleaes . Anyway i'm trying to create an ability that only takes effect when a unit1 kills anyunit, unit1 gains some kind off buff. Can i base this off some ability already or what triggers can i use? Also is it possible to let the buff stack a limited number of times or not stack? And (yes i know another ask) ensure the buff has a time limit.

Thanks

Try,
Event
A unit dies
Conditions
Type of killing unit = hero
actions
set temp loc = loc of killing unit
create dummy unit at temp loc
give dummy unit buff spell (last created)
add experation trigger to dummy unit (Last created)
order dummy unit to cast buff on killing unit


I think it'll work

ok ive done that and it works the only problem is that i cant get the dummy to cast a custom ability - how is that done?

in order to make custom spell you must already have original that you are coping/modifying.that original ability is in list in trigger editor.Make sure that dummy has your custom ability and tell him (in trigger)to cast original ability.

e.g.
custom spell is arcane bolt

original spell is firebolt

you give arcane bolt to the dummy

in trigger:
order lastcreatedunit to Neutral-Firebolt killingunit

I will explain better if you want me to

Why always all is using ''TempLoc'' ? It will work even without him. oO
