[Trigger] HELP: Creating Images

[Deuterium]

well... OK i know that you can make images by using the Wand of Illusion...

however, i want to know if there's a way through which u create images but be able of controlling them through the trigger (let's say i want to order the image itself to move from on place to another)

thank you all in advance!

You would have to have a trigger that can re-create everything an illusion does.

For example, creating the unit, settings its transparency to 80%, making it blue.

Thats if, you want to do it via triggers.

 

[Deuterium]

i thought about that previously... but i was also thinking... wat would look blue to me (the triggering unit) wouldn't look blue to the enemy?
unless there's a way to make a unit look as something to the triggering unit and something else to the enemies

• Set udg_Player = Player 1
• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer == udg_Player then
• You can do your actions here, it will only work for udg_Player
• Custom script: endif

 

[Deuterium]

• Set Player = Get Owner of (GetTriggeringUnit)

 

[Deuterium]

• Set Player = (Owner of (Triggering unit))

still gives the same problem

GetLocalPlayer()

 

[TriggerHappy]

ah yes, can't believe I forget the argument parenthesis..

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == udg_Player then

And why don't you do this:

Set T_G = (Units in (Playable Map Area) matching (((Matching unit) is an Illusion) Equal to True)
Unit Group - Pick up every unit in T_G and do (Actions)
Loop - Actions
Unit - Order (Picked unit) to X
Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_T_G)

If you want it for specific unit type of Illusions, do: "Set Picked = (Picked unit)", If/Then/Else > If (Unit-type of (Picked)) Equal to X)

well i'll try that during the weekend... thanks!
