Casting ability or buff with trigger?

[asm k7]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. As well as the World Editor itself. But I'm practicing myself. I've improved a lot. But still, I have some question. Please help me:
1. How to cast an ability or buff by trigger. Like:
When we use Metamorphosis, all enemy units near me are stunned.
And I know we should use a trigger for this, shouldn't we?
But I can't figure what trigger to use.
2. How to make a spell like DotA - Yurnero's omnislash?
3. How to create a hero's image when we use a trigger to instantly moves our
hero from one place to another?
Example : We have our hero at position A, and we use trigger to moves it to
position B. When moved, it leaves an image of itself at position A for a short
amount of time. Can we?

Thanks...

1. Detect when the ability is being used, create a dummy, add Warstomp ability to it and order it to cast.

2. http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...00b-161947/?prev=search=omnislash&d=list&r=20

3. Use the ability from the item "Wand of Illusions", detect when the ability is cast and create a dummy, add the ability and order it to cast.

1 and 3: can they work even if we have our skill full? (no slots left)?

You create a dummy unit, its a unit that has no model "or the invisible elevator one" and have it cast the spell for you.

ok. I understand now. Now I'm practicing on modeling. In modeling, can we change a unit's attack/run motion? or we have to completely create a new unit with GMAX?

But you didn't downloaded map how can you understand code (first time) without checking map?

Yes you can do that but this isn't place for asking things like that ^^

-Kobas-, you need to make many calculations to make a custom illusion. You need to a) add the items carried by the original hero to the new one, you need to make him tinted as blue in the allies' eyes, you need to disable items from being used, you need to make him receive x damage of the original hero and deal y damage, you need to add the Ward classification so that the abilities are invisible, you need to make the illusion special effect, when an illusion dies and so on.

To make an illusion:

• Unit - Add Wand of Illusions to (Last created unit)
• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById (GetLastCreatedUnit(), 852274, GetTriggerUnit())

But he just want that effect created when Magina use Blink in Dota ^^
Simple image that don't attack, use spells, can be attacked or anything else

 

[asm k7]

yes. for now. I just want to make a simple shadow. Just like Mr.Kobas said. But I appreciate Mr.Pharaoh's idea. And it'll be useful when I completely make my map.

I'm having trouble with trigger ability. I'm making a double cast spell chance with trigger. I know I must use a dummy ability, give it the same ability for the double cast.
But the problem, whenever I use the ability, the dummy doesn't show up and not even cast an ability.

My ability based on shockwave.

The trigger is the same as Stunning Metaporph.
