CHance to cast

[Allione]

Hello there,

I wish to know if there is a way how can I make a hero cast spell he don't have.

I am trying to create a spell using triggers, that has a chance to land a critical strike (I borrowed the original one) and via triggers I'm trying to somehow make that hero cast another spell to the target he landed that crit.

Also, is there a way to create via trigger a unit that has limited durability?
(like ghost wolves or Water elementals)

thank you for your advice in advance

i think you should put the skill you want on spellbook. In trigger add spellbook on unit you want then disable the spellbook.

For limited durability, you can just add "Expiration Timer" to the wanted unit.
You can simulate hero casting spells he doesn't have using Dummy Units as casters.

Thank you very much.

I stumbled across another problem I would be greatful to hear answer to;
is there a way I can add a specific buff to a unit using trigger?

Using a dummy unit and spell on the unit to add a specific buff/effect could work

I do not know how to make a unit cast a spell via triggers :/

okay i give you a sample.
Even i using my phone

Event: unit start effect of ability
Condition: ability being cast = inner fire
Action:
Set caster= triggering unit
create 1 dummy for owner of caster at position of caster
Set dummy caster = last created unit
Add inner fire to dummy caster
Add generic timer to caster dummy = 1 second
Order caster dummy to human priest inner fire caster.

Note: in object editor change mana of inner fire to 0 and change every their to 0 to dont get the effect of inner fire to your caster.

Event: generic unit dies
Condition: unit type of triggering unit is equal to dummy
Action: remove triggering unit from the game

Thank you, it's not exactly the solution (mostly because I didn't know what I've wanted at the time being) but with your help and knowledge I've been able to find what I've been looking for. Once again I'm grateful for your cooperation.

Units don't leak.. locations do. Cache the caster's location into a variable then remove it after use.

Note that Inner Fire with 0.00 duration will remain eternal; use 0.01.
