Gold income and dummy kill.

[Geshishouhu]

Hi all, here is my question: if a hero cast a spell that uses a dummy to cause damage, the hero cannot receive gold from that kill. So is there a way to fix this other than setting every units gold value then use a UNIT_DEATH trigger?

Thanks all.

Depends. For example if it's a map like a hero arena (where you control only your hero), then you can change the owner of dummy to triggering player, then when someone dies, you check if the killer is a dummy unit, who he belongs to and add gold to that player (unless you gain the gold when the dummy kills it automatically)

Thanks for the reply. But how do I know how much gold I should add to that player?

You don't need to add gold - if the dummy belongs to the same player as the caster of the ability, then the gold will be add automatically to that player upon kill.

Yea, but the problem is the unit is removed before the target dies. -_-

then you're in for quite a hard time really, because you cannot even detect who killed the targeted unit, if the killing unit is removed before the projectile hits the target.

Tbh I dunno what you want to do in the long run, but it may be better to have one generic dummy unit, which shoots these projectiles and when is paused (or moved somewhere) when unused. That way you will have for example 1 dummy per player who casts these spells and you can have easy time getting the bounty.

Ok, I will try that. Thanks for the help. +Rep
