[Trigger] Doppelwalk Spell

[indomitable1319]

Yes, Doppelwalk is a typo. Sorry.

I'm pretty sure some of you play DotA.
I'm trying to make a Dopplewalk-style spell.

Now, the problem is, when the dummy unit is created, it doesn't cast the illusion spell.
When I made the spell, I thought that there is no possible way to order a dummy to cast the Item Illusion abilty, since there is no command for that. I then tried changing the Order String - Activate and the Order String - Turn on to heal so when I needed to cast the spell, I could just order the cast by the Human Priest - Heal function.
Well, it didn't work. So now I'm wondering how I can do it.

Also, how do I refer to the illusion the Dopplewalk spawns? Using what function call?

Anyway, here's my trigger:

Trigger

• Doppelwalk 1
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • ((Ability being cast) Equal to Doppelwalk (1, 1 Position)) or ((Ability being cast) Equal to Doppelwalk (1, 2 Position))
  • Actions
    • Set DoppelwalkCaster = (Casting unit)
    • Set DoppelwalkPoint = (Position of DoppelwalkCaster)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Triggering player) at DoppelwalkPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_DoppelwalkPoint)
    • Set DoppelwalkDummy = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Doppelwalk (Dummy) to DoppelwalkDummy
    • Unit - Order DoppelwalkDummy to Human Priest - Heal DoppelwalkCaster
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to DoppelwalkDummy

I'm sure this was asked before...

I think its meant to be used with its order ID which is 852274

It was asked, yet I didn't find a proper solution. I searched.

this...

and I have seen that answer months ago too... though this one is from Nestharus' OrderID thread, which when I used the search button, was just about on the top... I hope that helps... ^_^

though you'll need to use Custom script for that...

^_^

Ah, I see.
I'm not too sure on how to use Custom Scripts for it, though.
How will I do that?

And still the problem remains on how I will refer to the illusion after it's been created,

 

[Adiktuz]

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(unit caster, integer orderID, widget targetWidget)

as for the illusion maybe you could make a trigger which detects when a unit enters map and check if its an illusion for a specific unit... then set it to a variable...

 

[indomitable1319]

Those fields inside the parentheses, what do I change there?
I know you change the integer orderID part into the 852274, but what about those other two?

But if I do that, it will set every illusion that enters the map into a variable.
I'll just add a Boolean to the first trigger, then set it to False in the next. Like:

• Set DopplewalkIsOn = True

Then at the start of the second trigger, I could do:

• Dopplewalk 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters (Playable map area)
  • Conditions
    • DopplewalkIsOn Equal to True
    • ((Entering unit) is an Illusion) Equal to True
    • Actions
      • Unit - ...

 

[Adiktuz]

unit caster is the unit to cast the illusion spell

widget target is the unit which is to be targeted by the spell

 

[indomitable1319]

So I just change them into the names of the variables?

 

[Adiktuz]

yup...
