Hero Revival Issues

[Brashnard]

I'm having a couple of issues with my hero revival system.

1. I can't get my tavern to actually ~Revive~ heroes. No matter what I try, whenever the hero dies, he's gone for good. I want to use the ordinary ressurection method because I believe that's the only way to get it to display the gold cost and level of the hero in the tooltip while reviving. [Dota has this]

2. I would use a dummy ability for the job, but I've seen in other threads in this site that you can't call on a variable in a tooltip, which would be how I would display the gold cost and level of reviving the hero.

3. Is a dummy unit for the revival a good option? I figure it would have that annoying [1] at the bottom right hand corner that would degrade the look and feel of the map.

Thank you in advance.




Okay, I figured out the problem with #1, it was a trigger I made earlier in my map that I keep forgetting about.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Change ownership of (triggering unit) to Neutral Passive and Retain Color

Now I made this because I couldn't figure out how to make corpses not count as units in some other triggers I made to take over buildings

• Events
  • Unit - A unit enters region <gen>
• Conditions
  • (number of units in (Units in region <gen> owned by (Owner of building 0001 <gen>))) Equal to 1
• Actions
  • Wait 20.00 seconds
  • If ((((Entering unit) belongs to an enemy of (Building 0001 <gen>)) Equal to True) and ((number of units in (Units in region <gen> owned by (owner of building 0001 <gen>))) Equal to 1)) then do (Unit - Change ownership of Building 0001 <gen> to (Owner of (Entering unit)) and change color) else do (do nothing)

I made this so that if the player owns only one building in the region and no other units, that the attacking player takes control of the building.

I could make it work without the neutral death trigger, if there was a Units in Region Owned by Player Matching Condition function, which I failed to find [if there is one].

So what I need to know, is...

1. How do I make the hero in the tavern be ressurectable by any player controlling the building or..
2. Add a Boolean Unit matching hero = false condition to the first trigger or...
3. Make corpses not count as units for the second trigger without taking away decay times, because I like bones and whatnot on the battlefield.

--------------------------------------

Ahhh! I was looking through gameplay Constants and found this...

Decay Time (sec) Bones - 88
Decay Time (sec) Hero dissipation - 3

Does this mean that after 3 secnods the hero counts as fully decayed and no longer a unit in a region? If so this would pretty much clear up everything.

in your tavern did you put the ability revive hero instantly?

have you tried using triggering Unit instead of entering unit, i'm not sure if "entering Unit" gets lost after a wait

The coding works, but the change is not supposed to happen if the owner of the building has an allied unit in the area. This unfortunately includes spawns. If there's a way to code something like...

• Actions
  • ((number of units in (Units in region <gen> owned by (owner of building 0001 <gen>) matching (matching unit is alive equal to true)) Equal to 1)) then do (Unit - Change ownership of Building 0001 <gen> to (Owner of (Entering unit)) and change color) else do (do nothing)

This would make it work perfectly. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to do that one.

Entering unit does not get lost after a wait. It return Triggering Unit. But Triggering Unit is faster so use it anyways.
