Help with spell (it's a end of the world thing)

[Tau Empire]

Hello, I'm making a map and I need to know how to do this one spell.

I called my spell The World Shall Perise! basicly my hero is a bada** (kids could be reading this) necromancer who has the power to revive just every single corpse on the map. Now ofcourse he is going to channel this cause it would be cheap.

What I need:
Figure out how to make every corpses revived into a skeleton under the control of the necromancer (Teal).
How to change it into night time when he casts it.

EDIT: I've notice this is a trigger spell (I think) so I basicly placed this in the wrong section can a mod place this in Triggers&Scripts thread please.

Game - Set Time of day to 21:00
Game - Turn Day/Night cycle off

When you end the ability don't forget to set the Day/Night cycle on again.

Create a dummy unit that casts Change Time of Day?

 

[Mooglefrooglian]

Do what ido said, and also make a dummy unit, and have that dummy cast Raise Dead, a spell which you modified to have a huge range, on every corpse in the map.

Then make another trigger that triggers when he stops channeling, and kills all those skeletons, removes the dummy unit, and sets the night/day cycle on.

Ok so you mean I need to create a new Raise Dead ability, put Casting Range on 999999 or is it Area of Effect 9999999, sry im a bit newbish to this.

Base the system on the original unit's Channel ability.
Make a trigger that when the unit channels the ability, the time of day is set and a dummy unit is created. The dummy has the ability Animate Dead with the Area of Effect (AOE) set to 999999999, and it casts the ability right after it is created.
As said, you should also create another trigger that fires at the event "a unit stops channeling an ability", with matching conditions. This trigger will kill the units raised from this ability.
Some rules for you to know, in case you don't know:
-Dummy units have no model file or an invisible model file and have the ability Locust, which makes them invulnerable to attack, spell and selection, like the Locusts of the Crypt Lord's Locust Swarm ability.
-The Dummy unit will have an expiration timer of the casting time to it, to prevent memory and game leaking.
