[Spell] How to make an Aura/Passive Skill affect illusion?

[Defotants]

I want to create an Aura and passive skill that would affect Illusion. In DOTA, some passive skills and auras retain their benefit on hero's illusion while some other skills are not. How can I determine if a passive skill/aura would affect illusion or not?

 

[Radicool]

In "Gameplay Constants" scroll down and look for an option to toggle "Illusions bestow auras" or something like that. Simple fix to allow illusions to gain aura benefits.

 

[Defotants]

That option doesn't give illusion benefit from aura. It only allows illusion give it aura benefit to unit nearby.

maybe try the allowed targets part of each aura???

 

[Defotants]

The Allowed Target table does not have illusion in the list.
The weird thing is that some auras like Trueshot Aura show the bonus stat (but the illusion still does not gain any benefit from the aura), while Devotion Aura does not show any armor bonus on illusion.

If you want Trueshot Aura and Devotion Aura to work on illusions go to Gameplay Constants and set 'Gameplay - Illusions Get Attack Bonuses' and 'Gameplay - Illusions Get Defense Bonuses' to true that the word 'true' is in purple color.

Some Gameplay Constants show true or false but are the other value actually until you lock them.

Very helpful tip. WE is full of secret as always.

How about Thorn Aura and Lifesteal aura? Is there convenient way to let illusion benefit from these two aura, or they require extra trigger/coding to work around?

Vampiric Aura works on melee illusions but Im quite sure thorns aura wont work at all on illusions.

and oh, don't bother looking at the GP constants that has the acronym (NYI), because it means not yet implemented...
