Illusion problem

[BloodDrunk]

How do I (when I use a spell creates illusion) select the specific illusion without adding buff?
Or do I have to use spell which creates buff.

I think that illusion responds to the "A unit is summoned" event.
In that case, you can use "Event response - Summoned unit" as the illusion.

Yeah, I thought so. Thinking more about it, I'd have more problems with that "summons unit", because it creates illusion with another spell, so I just went with creating it.

Thanks for you time.

Same thing. It would still cause me problems. If only there was a way to select specific illusion...

Triggering Unit is the illusion, which is a local varianble. What do you mean by selecting a specific illusion? When 2 illusions are created you want to select one? is that what you want?

 

[BloodDrunk]

Yes, that is what I desire.

You just need to give a signal when one of illusion abilities are used.

• Detect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to YOUR_HERO
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to ILUS_ABILITY_1
      • Then - Actions
        • Set IllusionAbility = 1
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to ILUS_ABILITY_2
      • Then - Actions
        • Set IllusionAbility = 2
      • Else - Actions

• Spawn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Summoning unit)) Equal to YOUR_HERO
    • ((Summoned unit) is an illusion) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • IllusionAbility Equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Illusion is created via first ability --------
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • IllusionAbility Equal to 2
      • Then - Actions
        • -------- Illusion is created via second ability --------
      • Else - Actions
    • -------- It is good to reset this value for some cases.---
    • Set IllusionAbility = 0

From what I understand, you want to select a certain illusion after a unit has used an illusion ability when there are more than 1 illusion is created. If that's the case, try this. (in this example im gonna make player 1 selects the illusion)
1. You need a boolean variable (e.g. name selectIllusion).
2. When a unit uses the illusion ability, set the boolean variable to true (selectIllusion = true)
3. When a unit enters playable map area and is an illusion and selectIllusion is equal to true, then use

• Selection - Select Triggering Unit for Player 1 (Red)

and set selectIllusion = false. That way, when the next illusion is created, selectIllusion is already false and the trigger will not run.

There you go, one of the illusion created is selected by player 1.

Wow, this actually makes sense!
I might apply this thing after all, since this way it won't collide with another illusion creating spell.

No problem ol' chap

Have not tested it but it looks like it should work.
