[Trigger] Mass Illusion spell trigger

[icthenue]

Hey all

I want to make a hero's ultimate ability that creates an illusion of all nearby friendly units. I have tried to make triggers and make it work myself but I lack the knowledge in triggers to succeed.

I tried making a trigger that when a spell was cast (which was based on Fan of Knives) it chose randomly from your selected units and gave them a modified mirror image ability but I couldn't figure out how to make them cast it automatically.

I am relatively new to triggers (only made one so far that actually works the way I want it to) so any help would be appreciated.

Cheers.

You should order the units to cast Mirror Image as if the ability was the original one, using the action Unit - Issue order with no target.

just run through the group of everyone around you and create a dummy unit that casts a spell based off of wand of illusion

Okay so I tried using the Unit - Issue order with no target and it worked!
Thank you both for the feedback!

Cheers

When I tried that a short time ago I couldn't find out what's the order string for Wand of Illusion nor the unit ability (which I think doesn't exist)

Is it possible to order it to cast Wand of Illusion (without using items)?
