Thank you to those who read this. Okay, let's hop to the point. I just need to know how to have a unit to leave it's corpse for permanent when they die? The corpse will only be removed when someone uses animate dead or skeletal spawn or any other spell that has to do with corpses. As for hero, they leave behind their corpse until they are revive. If anyone here knows how, do tell me :wink:.
A free +rep for anyone who tries XD.

  • Stay corpse
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Decays
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Animation - Change (Triggering unit)'s animation speed to 0.01% of its original speed
EDIT :
Also, you need to modify the decaying time in Game Constant
The bone seems to is limited so they will be removed when the bones are reached the limit.

Kinda funny that now my only problem is that when a unit dies and if you weren't watching him, the corpse freezes the moment he died and you'll have a standing corpse lol.

Maybe Advaned--> Gameplay Constants--> Decay Time(sec) flesh 99999
+ Maker's trigger about the decay corpses thatr rise???

For this, it's quite good but it leaves behind skeletons instead which i didn't want :/

It is because Warcraft III has a hard-coded mechanics which will only plays animation when the area is covered by Player's vision.

Else, it won't play animation.

This is something Blizzard implement to boost efficiency of the program.

What does Every 0.00 indicates ?

Suspend corpse decay doesn't work if the unit is not decaying. That is why a small delay is needed between the event triggering and suspending the decay.

I didn't want to use a timer, so I used a 0.00 period instead. When the trigger is turned on, it runs after 0.00 seconds which is almost instant, but not quite. The trigger turns itself off when it runs.
