Ghost Scepter

[myronbeg]

Hi, I have a problem making the DotA's Ghost Scepter ability. When they gives the ability something like:

Ghost Form
Makes you unable to attack or be attacked, but take 40% extra damage from spells
Ends if you become magic immune, and will have no effect if you are already magic immune
Lasts 4 seconds and has a 30 second cooldown


So I believe it was actually an Ethereal Form. But where to find this ability? I can't even find the ability in the Spirit Walkers (Ethereal form) where they cannot be attack but only magic attackers ans casters.

It a self banish.

You get a dummy unit, you get it to banish your hero.
Done.

Its true that the ability of Ghost Scepter is the combination of Banish and Ethereal Form ability?

 

[axleion]

no... its just cast Banish on your Hero, nothing else.

Im sorry but I'm a bit fussy about this ability of Ghost Scepter. But I want it such that when the icon of that item is clicked, then you don't have to target yourself to become Banished, meaning just click the item, then you will be instantly banish for 4 seconds. Anyone has suggestion for this?

I just told you.

You need a dumy unit to cast banish on your hero.

So how am I suppose to make a trigger to activate this ghost scepter ability if based on a dummy unit?

Your unit will use the Ghost Scepter, then you create a dummy caster, add banish to it, then make it cast the banish ability on the caster...

Well, basically:
+Make a dummy spell (instant cast) like Thunder clap and set that dummy spell to no-harm spell
+Make a dummy unit which have the "Banish" ability (remember to set ability's mana cost to 0)
+Make a trigger run when a unit start effect of "Thunder clap" ability
+Create dummy and set its expiration time after that order that dummy to cast Banish to caster
Done, now caster will be able to run around without fear in taking physical damage

You can also add the ability "Ethereal" to the unit and remove it when a timer expires.

@Striker - its more advisable to just use one universal dummy caster on the OE and just add the ability via triggers... ^_^

A simple test map to appease your favor.

ROFL.
You don't banish yourself because 'Ghost Scepter' does not slow your Hero.

It adds the ability 'Eternal Form' which turns you look like being banish.

PS: There are 2 abilities, one is passive and other active. I let you decide which one is used.

 

[Adiktuz]

the slow of banish is configurable... you can remove it...
