This means that if you created a spell based on (for ie. Storm bolt) you must order the dummy unit to cast storm bolt. You cant make 2 abilities from the same spell for a unit, or else, they will be casted randomly

i still dont get it so... if i have 2 abilitys based off of storm bolt it will randomly pick one of those?

 

[darkrider]

if they are on the same unit Yes

you can have as many abilities based on the same as you want. But if you give 2 or more abilies based on the same to the same unit, there you will have problems

try this, give muradin the firebolt ability and see what happens or give any hero 3 abilities based on holy light or storm bolt or any skill you want.

this wont happen if you make abilities based on Channel (channel is an ability made only to create dummy abilities, it does absolutely nothing). You can give a unit as many channel abilities as you desire, the only condition is for you to change the ability id to another one that you are not using in another channel ability given to the same hero

If you made an ability based on "Storm bolt"
you named it "Mind Blast" or something
you order the dummy to cast "Storm bolt"

ok.. so i have a passive ability (trigger ability) then i want it to cast doom ball (based off fireball) how do i make sure its that ability i want to be casted??

 

[darkrider]

you only give the dummy 1 ability based on fire bolt and you order the dummy to cast storm bolt on the target... yes, storm bolt

 

[Shendoo2]

ooooooooooooo I get it now it orders the dummy to cast the you added if its based off that ability thanks + rep all

 

[Shendoo2]

does it automaticly remove the ability after i remove the dummy caster?

 

[darkrider]

exactly ^^

you can do that with every kind of skill that is located under "order unit to bla bla"

remember that firebolt and storm bolt are the same (firebolt is a storm bolt modified )
