Dark Ritual that targets non-undead units?

[Marshmalo]

Hi does anyone know how I can make the Dark Ritual spell in the object editor target non-undead friendly units?

At the moment it only seems to work on friendly undead units.

Try adding Enemy in Targets allowed in Object Editor.

I think it stick to Undead class units, try use channel and trigger it, unless there's another solution, that's the best you can do to make non undead friendly unit targetable.

He doesn't want enemy to become targets.

Would Unit - Add Classification work? I was going to try this with Dark Conversion until I realized it checks for Race instead of classification so I never got to know.

it might u have to try it. some of the abilities are hard coded in wc3. that means the only way u can change it is to make a new spell from channel and trigger the whole spell.

Well,then I agree on sniper, making all units have the undead classification will make them be able to target with Dark Ritual.

But making Holy Light and Death Coil troubled.

I would recommend that you trigger this. You can create a dummy spell that (using triggers) kills the targeted unit, and do a short equation to add the mana to the casting unit.

Just trigger it... Use channel as the base spell and let triggers do the rest...

I'll even be nice about it and post the trigger for it. For whatever reason when I added the affects to the ability for caster and target, they wouldn't work so I just put them in the trigger.

Dark Ritual

• Dark Ritual
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Dummy Spell
  • Actions
    • Set TempUnit[0] = (Casting unit)
    • Set TempUnit[1] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set Replenish = ((0.33 x (Real((Level of Dummy Spell for TempUnit[0])))) x (Life of TempUnit[1]))
    • Unit - Kill TempUnit[1]
    • Unit - Set mana of TempUnit[0] to ((Mana of TempUnit[0]) + Replenish)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of TempUnit[0] using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of TempUnit[1] using Abilities\Spells\Undead\DarkRitual\DarkRitualTarget.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

All you have to do now is make the spell do nothing other than have a cooldown.

EDIT: Also you want to have the 'Targets Allowed' field to have these as allowable targets; Air, Friendly, Ground, Organic.

^ use starts the effect...

Begins casting is abusable...

Also, creating an array when only using two indexes is not a good idea... arrays are slower than normal variables...

 

[deathismyfriend]

never use casting unit use triggering unit.
