Castable stationary invis

[Fundo!]

I have tried making this ability which is essentialy like a castable shadow meld during the day etc. The target unit of ability becomes invisible for X amt of time bt if the target moves attacks etc. the invisi buff is removed and cn be seen. So u cast the ability on an ally and they stand still and stay invisible then move when they want to and are not invisible. Seems simple like a shadowmeld bt during the day and castable in concept, but just a castable stationary invisibility. I cnt seem to do this , i tried basing it off of everythng frm frenzy to castable invisi and have used invisi potions, i cnt get it to work.PLs help

Iv tried making it so that when the target unit of the ability being cast leaves a region which is essentially a region around the caster it becomes visible again. bt i cnt do it!! this would also mean that the spell can not be cast on the caster which is ok, but this is just another deviation from my original plan. bt i cnt get this to work either. Either form of the ability is fine, pls help.

create an ability based on invisibility.
Then create a trigger that whenever a unit is issued an order targetting a point, and the order = move, you turn the unit visible again

make the ability hide work during day..

condition?

what would the condition be for the unit moving/attacking turn off buff trigger?

ok i found the strings move attack orders, hw do i relate the ordered unit to the target unit of the ability?

you create a new buff for your spell, and add it to your spell. Then you add the condition "unit has buff (Yourspellsbuff) equal to true" to your trigger and it should work... I think...

you need separate triggers:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to castable invisi
• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Target unit of ability being cast) to Stop

• Events
  • Unit - a unit is issued an order
• Conditions
  • Order - Issued order equal to order "move"
• Actions
  • ?

I'm not sure what to use as action in the last trigger, since I think solely removing the buff will only remove the little icon at your unit, and not the actual effect. What you could do is something like: unit - replace triggering unit by a triggering unit-type unit using the old HP/mana.

i didnt test it but shouldnt that work?

 

[Eleandor]

it might, but I wonder if the unit will still have the EFFECTS of hide when the ability is removed

 

[Just_Spectating]

it is still in effect till the abil is removed

 

[Fundo!]

where do i find this 'hide'?

 

[Just_Spectating]

o, no, its just shadowmeld. i called it hide. and you should make it work in morning
