Copying Heroes

[Eaglendia]

I'm making a boss fight where the Heroes essentially fight bizzaro versions of themselves.

I need to "clone" a group of units; for every Hero (Each Hero has its own unit variable, and they are also in a unit group "Heroes"), I have to create a new unit with the same ability point allocations and same items. The World Editor doesn't have a "copy unit" function, sadly.

Also, I don't know JASS. I don't know how to code in it, or how to implement it.

How do I do this, if it's even possible?



Also, another question, just so I can ask and get it over with. What exactly is the "For Every Integer A from 1 to X" function for? o_o

Here's your trigger, took me a few seconds to figure out how to do the items, but I think it will work.

• Copy Hero
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Hero Mirror
  • Actions
    • Set TempLocC = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 300.00 of TempLocC matching ((((Matching unit) is A Hero) Equal to True) and ((((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True) and ((Matching unit) Not equal to (Casting unit))))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set Hero = (Picked unit)
        • Set TempLocA = (Position of Hero)
        • Set TempLocB = (TempLocA offset by 150.00 towards ((Facing of Hero) - 180.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of Hero) for Neutral Hostile at TempLocB facing ((Facing of Hero) - 180.00) degrees
        • Set TempUnitA = (Last created unit)
        • Hero - Set TempUnitA Hero-level to (Hero level of Hero), Hide level-up graphics
        • Hero - Modify Strength of TempUnitA: Set to (Strength of Hero (Exclude bonuses))
        • Hero - Modify Agility of TempUnitA: Set to (Agility of Hero (Exclude bonuses))
        • Hero - Modify Intelligence of TempUnitA: Set to (Intelligence of Hero (Exclude bonuses))
        • Set TempIntA = 0
        • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set TempIntA = (TempIntA + 1)
            • Hero - Create (Item-type of (Item carried by Hero in slot TempIntA)) and give it to TempUnitA
        • Set TempIntA = 0
        • Unit - Order TempUnitA to Attack Hero
        • Unit - Add a 20.00 second Generic expiration timer to TempUnitA
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocA)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocB)
        • Custom script: set udg_Hero = null
        • Custom script: set udg_TempUnitA = null
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLocC)

For each integer x from y to z is a loop.
It will repeat a specified action the number of times you set for y and z.
EX.
from 1 to 1 runs one time
from 1 to 50 runs 50 times etc..

Thanks for the help! It took a bit of modification, but the trigger seems to work perfectly; I haven't given it a full test yet, but I will when I get back to my home computer.
