[General] How do I control illusions via triggers ?

[Deleted member 242951]

Once again.. I am in probem and I hope some one can help me.
Well, I wanted to know if theres a way to control illusions via triggers like giving them an ability and then ordering them 2 cast it. Is it possible?

Illusions can't have additional abilities and use them. These must be semi real illusion and it's very tricky in my memory. Though I'm not expert in this case, so don't take my words too much.

Semi real illusions? Never heard of this. Can yu plz explain?

 

[Daffa]

Semi real illusion I meant are illusions that is based on a real unit, they're made in Object Editor and triggered in a way to make it look like an illusion.

So change Tint to Blue within Local Player via Trigger and Remove the Unit upon death and create the 'smoke' death effect of illusions. But how do you make the unit takes x % damage and deals y % damage?

@Shadow Flux, DDS. It's easier if we use different unit for illusion though.
Yeah, tinting with local players.
But this cause mess with heroes. I recall something around this when playing Eve of the Apocalypse (Soul Binder and that Spirit Girl, can't remember the name).

@daffa, so how do u make the illusions seem coloured 2 the enemies and tinted 2 the allies?

@Daffa, what about the Items held by the triggered illusions?
Example, player creates illusion and sold all its items, easy money. demon_slayer has to create dummy Items for each which cannot be dropped and sold?

You can make items undroppable and unsellable via triggers

Use GetLocalPlayer() there's a tutorial for it at Tutorial Section.

Maddeem explains it :

Last issue, illusions can use items.

Intercept use orders and stop them
