Detecting Illusions

[pOke]

Well I'm trying to detect an illusion so I can add it to a unit group, the trouble is the event I'm using seems to "not be fast enough" or maybe its another issue I have not thought of.

The cooldown of the wand of illusion ability is 0.
A unit enters playable map area did not work at all.

Primary concern is DR Cast 2 and its interaction with DR Cast

Try using the item illusion as an ability (if it doesn't work on item use) and use the event a unit spawns a summoned unit.

EDIT: Make sure to use a dedicated variable for that trigger as it will interrupt the trigger firing it:

create dummy
add illusion ability
cast illusion
-> interrupt, any temp variables you're using will be overwritten if used on the spawn event trigger.
...
more actions

Oh wow...sad I didn't figure that. Thanks, still got some issues to work out but at least all the illusions are being properly added to the group!
