You might need a saving method on that, I suggest Hashtable.
Each time illusion is created, increase IllusionCount by 1, and always perform check before making illusions, if it's greater than 10, do nothing (not to add this function, I mean just leave it blank)
Else, create the illusion and increase it by 1.
Remember to decrease the IllusionCount counter by 1 when illusion is found dead (make sure the illusion is from that spell casted, not any other illusion-based ability you have.
Put them in Unit Group or something to differentiate your Illusion is unique to other Illusion.

I've imported all triggers and variables but it didn't work. I want you to properly import those triggers you made and variables to work

And what do you mean by ''hacked''?

ofc it's my map. Do you think that because of the big init trigger? I made it first time when creating hero siege map and converted it in custom text and just copied it on this new map

It should work now. The problem was that illusions from mirror image messed up the counter. I also changed it so that it removes dummy units from the game.

You had only imported Illusions - trigger, probably because you can only copy one trigger/category at a time.

Edit: Removed attachment.
