Help please

[vladimirac]

When i press an item it should create a new unit with same inventory, same spell cooldowns and same health percentage. I need the new unit for a spell i have. The new unit should face the same direction as the other unit before. Please help me

First this doesn't belong in the requests forum...

but to answer the question just use Create Unit when you use the item, via a trigger which has the event, A unit uses an item... But you will not be able to transfer the cooldown values...

I think i didn't make myself clear. I tried to do that but my map crashed every time i ran it. So i need some help from good map makers and i hope you can help me. I need a system when you click on a item you spawn a new unit that has same HP percentage and same items as the original one and he is on the same position as the triggering unit. Please help me since when i tried it crashed every time.

[vladimirac]

[Adiktuz]

just a bit info this is my first map and i'm a 12 year old

This line - [Point - Remove TempPoint] --> what is that, how do you even manage to put that into a trigger??? I think it should be giving you a syntax error...

Unit - Create 1 |cFFFF0000 Survivor with knife |r for (Owner of TempUnit) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing (Facing of TempUnit) degrees

--> Unit - Create 1 |cFFFF0000 Survivor with knife |r for (Owner of TempUnit) at (TempPoint)) facing (Facing of TempUnit) degrees

[Point - Remove TempPoint]

--> Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

[Adiktuz]

When i use the item nothing happens

 

[Adiktuz]

I don't see anything wrong here...

Oh, make sure your item has an active ability, I think the event uses an item doesn't fire if the item don't have an active ability...

 

[Blazing_Legion]

I think you could also use when a unit starts an effect of an ability generic unit event and put ability being cast(items ability) as a condition that is normally what i do

 

[vladimirac]

Thank you, both of you since i was missing an active ability and i used Blazing_Legion's triggers.

 

[Adiktuz]

There are item abilities that cannot be picked up by the Ability trigger so you might want to keep the item event in mind... ^_^

 

[vladimirac]

Well actually i changed my mind and i do use "uses an item" event just because i don't want to create more abilities since I'm going to do more than just 1 "transformation" since I'm adding machine gun/Rifle/SMG etc...

 

[Adiktuz]

You'd be better off finding or requesting a model which could support melee and gun animations... then just add the weapons as attachments...

that way you'd limit the units to at least two (one for the melee, one ranged)...
