[Trigger] Conflagration Dummy level up problem

[BETABABY]

I need help.. I want my dummy ability to have the same level as the main ability, however I do not know how to make that happen.

Here's the main trigger: This works just fine.

• Conflagration Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Conflagration
  • Actions
    • Set con_casterloc = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Create 1 DummyCaster 1 for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at con_casterloc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add conflagration dummy (Initial) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of conflagration dummy (Initial) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Conflagration for (Triggering unit))
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Parasite (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_con_casterloc)

Here's the trigger where the effect spreads when the enemy unit dies: This is where I have problems leveling the dummy ability.

• Conflagration Spread
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to Conflagration Dummy
  • Actions
    • Set con_summonloc = (Position of (Summoned unit))
    • Set con_owner = (Owner of (Summoned unit))
    • Unit - Remove (Summoned unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 Conflagration Dummy for con_owner at con_summonloc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add conflagration dummy (Secondary) to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add a 1.00 second Water Elemental expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Set con_unitgroup = (Units within 250.00 of con_summonloc matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of con_owner) Equal to True))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in con_unitgroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set level of conflagration dummy (Secondary) for (Last created unit) to (Level of Conflagration for (Triggering unit))
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Parasite (Picked unit)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_con_summonloc)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_con_unitgroup)

Make three different dummies, Level 1, Level 2, Level 3.
Then go, if unit type of dummy is equal to Level 1, set level of ability to level 1, etc. This requires no extra variables.

 

[BETABABY]

so basically like this:

• Actions
  • If - Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Summoned Unit)) is equal to Conflagration Dummy 1
  • Then - Actions
    • Unit - Set level of conflagration dummy to 1
  • Else - Actions

etc.

One question tho.. How do I detect the level of the ability in order for me to create the dummy equivalent to the level? Like what triggers for the trigger to spawn the dummy 1.?

Make the level of each dummy unit correspond to their name (in object editor). Dummy 1 = Stats - Level 1, etc.

Still not working. Ill just post my trigger here.

Well, I have two abilities based on parasite.. The 1st one is the initial ability which shoots after the hero has casted. The second ability is the one that takes effect after the affected unit dies. I made the first one's damage per second a lot stronger than the second ability.

Updated version than the first one.

Create the dummy unit inside the loop, since you're going to need as many dummies as there are units in the target unit group.

I'd also suggest making an integer variable for (Level of (Summoned unit)) to not make lots of function calls in the loop.
