[Trigger] item ability

[Mage_Goo]

ok, i'm just want to ask one thing

how can i order unit to use item ability without order unit to use an item? (so it work on unit without inventory.)
How can i order unit to use Custom ability based on item ability?
e.x: I've an ability based on wand illusion make illusion, how can i order unit to use that ability?

Because item ability doesn't have order string i can't use "unit - issue order" function. and i don't want it giving unit item with that ability, then order it to use that item, because that doesn't work on unit that doesn't have inventory.

and change "stats - item ability" on object editor doesn't change it. it just change status so it can added to unit. doesn't add order strings.

that's all. hope someone answering this fast, because I'm very need it on my spell

change the spell order id to an id of a hero order, then order the unit to cast the spell using that order

e.g. change order id of items ability to entangling roots of keeper of the grove and order dummy to cast entangling roots - keeper of the groove

hope it helped

Other way is to make an item and order dummy unit to use it.

but he doesnt want wand item

I can't remember any other solution than this one which is practical and easy to use. Key is in giving item to dummy, not to unit he wants to target.

He should also make dummy death fix to remove item when dummy dies, like this:

• Item Drop Fix
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Dummy
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Item - Remove (Item carried by (Triggering unit) in slot (Integer A))

it just not working, I'm changed the "order string on/use", but it didn't use the ability. maybe because i use non-hero order? gonna change it.

hmm, I've tried it, but the dummy didn't use the ability on-time. when i order it to use, it need about 3-5 second to use it, dunno why it happen.

and sorry for late answer.

Make lower cast time on your illusions item. I have similar spell like yours and it work like I suggested you.

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(GetTriggerUnit() , 852274 , GetAttackingUnit())

This orderid is the ability of Wand of Illusion. Kinda quoted the rest from you.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

And, increase dummy units lifespan to at least 1 second. (timed life)

hmm, tryed it, but when i put cast time to 0, it not using the item anyway..

is order id same with other wand illusion based ability?

And, increase dummy units lifespan to at least 1 second. (timed life)

how can i add life span? expiration timer didn't kill unit, instead they remove it. any other way?

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

I am sure that expiration kills unit (so set it to 1 sec). You could add add Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) and the end of Item Drop fix trigger.

 

[spiwn]

is order id same with other wand illusion based ability?

Yes, it is the same. That is also true for other abilities.

Making the ability a unit ability, giving it to the dummy and ordering it to use it is way more simpler than giving it an item.

hmm, ok, i'm tried and work... just one questions, what event i could add to triggering when unit expiration timer's expired? it can't be the event "unit - is dies".

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

It is the event Unit - Dies... When expiration is over, unit dies
Just remember to set proper conditions

 

[Mage_Goo]

hmm? i set conditions to "unit type of (triggering unit) equal to (==) IS_Timer"
IS_Timer is unit type of dummy units.
and trigger didn't run.

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Weird... it works for me.
