[Trigger] Ghost posses dead unit.

[DarkRanger2]

Hello.
I am making a new map with Forsaken units, what I want here is the unit to be able to resurrect herself.
Only that it doesn't work here. What should I do ?


First Trigger -

Secon trigger -

You can't use waits like that. (Casting Unit) will not remain the original casting unit after a wait. You need to use local variables or timers.

What do you mean ?
How ?

(Casting Unit) is not a variable, it is a function call. When you see (Casting Unit) it actually asks for the "current casting unit", and by the time seconds have passed, (Casting Unit) returns some other unit, or none. Search "Local variables in GUI" or something for more information.

The problem you are trying to solve requires more knowledge than you have, so invest in learning jass or how to use locals in GUI.

How should I name that unit ?

There is an other error: you used (Dying Unit) in the second trigger, but this function can't call the dying unit of an other trigger. You have to replace (Position of (Dying Unit)) by your variable DRR.

You have to create a Unit variable and set this variable equal to (Casting Unit) before the Wait. And you just have to call this variable in place of (Casting Unit) after the Wait.

Wait, what ? I don't think I understood something here ... XD

 

[Zephyrius2412]

In the second trigger, at the end, you put that:

Unit - Remove (Casting unit) from the game
Wait 1.89 seconds
Unit - Create 1 Dark ranger for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at DRR facing (Random point in (Entire map))

replace that by:

Unit - Remove (Casting unit) from the game
Set <A unit variable> = (Casting unit)
Wait 1.89 seconds
Unit - Create 1 Dark ranger for (Owner of <Your unit variable>) at DRR facing (Random point in (Entire map))

I didn't find name for the variable so...

 

[DarkRanger2]

And that would fix everything ?

It will fix the effect, for the rest I don't know what is the problem, because you didn't gave me a problem...

The ghost move to the Body but nothing happens.
It's not Solved.

Oh oh oh... --'

"Dark Ranger" is a variable or the unit ? Because if "Dark Ranger" has no initial value it is equal to NOTHING.

Else the variable "Dark Ranger" is useless because you have condition which check the dying unit is a dark danger, and after you set "Dark Ranger" to unit type of dying unit, it's a bit stupid

I do not understand ...

 

[Shar Dundred]

You're not using Reincarnation ability because...?

 

[Zephyrius2412]

[DarkRanger2]

You're not using Reincarnation ability because...?

Because I want the Ability to be casted manually.
Plus, the ghost would not have 250 Mana when spawned, while the Ability required 250 of Mana... And I want the ghost to be able to move around, doing whatever it wants, and then going back to the Dark ranger corpse after they are full mana.

These Dark Rangers...

Is it possible that at any given point there will be more than 1 of them on the map?

I'm asking, because if the answer is yes then even if you fix this trigger, the ability won't work for more than 1 unit at once. This can totally be done, but it will require a significantly different triggering than what you have right now.

It is a unit, so yes.
