I have one unit in a map im making that has the Roar ability. There is another unit on the same team that has an ability based off Roar, but the 2nd ability can only be cast on self. Both spells work on the 2nd unit but not at the same time. If he has one, its cancelled when he starts the other. Do these spells need to be made MUI or is it something else. If you can give me an example of any kind i would be grateful.


Another problem i need some direction in is how do you make charged item work on decoy when theyre empty? Is it to make them an artifact when theyre empty?


Last problem im having is with a spell based off priest's heal but with a negative value for amount healed, and castable on enemies only. It doesnt give exp or gold for kills. Is the easiest way to fix this to make a dummy unit to kill the target if its targeted with enough hp to die?

:pal:

#1, the roar spell needs to be based off something else. you cant have two of the same type.

#2, dunno

#3, I would say use a modified Death Coil, and make it target all races.

Or you could get WEU and use this.
  • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Triggering unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spells and damage type Normal
Ok you can't base two spells off the same spell and expect them to work independently with a single unit. This is because they both have the same orderid. So when you press one it tries to use both. No you can't change the orderid. Even if you do, it will still have the same one. The exception to this is the ability 'channel.' There is no way to fix such an ability. MUI is for triggers only.

To make a charged item have an infinite amount of charges modify the item stats. Change the field 'Charges' to 0. This will give an infinite amount of charges.

For #3 use a dummy spell and use the above function (You need WEU) to do the damage. It does give XP/Gold/Kill credit

I will have to download and try WEU I was unaware that it had more options like that.

I could fix the Roar issue but with roar and the spell based off roar you just click the button and it activates you dont have to select yourself. I cant figure out another ability that works in RoC that you could make Roar out of. I am remaking an old map and it was done in the map not sure how but its possible.

I am trying to make an empty charged item work on a mirror image decoy, not make a charged item have infinte charges ;p

The reason the last spell (the on based of priest's heal) is like that is because 1. it wont target units with full life
2 its autocasting
I will try to rm it based off searing but i dont think it will work right even if i trigger it to not work on full health units.

Thanks for the suggestions i will try them in my attempt to fix these problems.
