Need a ability like "silence"

[Herod]

Hi everyone how are you, Im fine thank you and you? My necromancer can raise skeleton warrior and skeletons mages, but without the autocast ability. For this Im using a dummy that cast raise dead and carrion beetles. But I need 2 abilities (or other way that you can suggest me) that target the corpses then the dummy will raises the skeletons. Cya!

Channel comes to mind for me

 

[Herod]

Yes but srry didnt tell you, but channel I will use on Projectile missile system in "bone spear", I ve tried blizzard, force of nature, etc, no result

If you are using dummy units, then the base ability actually matters little and now the bigger question is "show us your trigger", since you said only silence work but those abilities you mentioned are also AOE, even Channel can be made for different purposes and not limited to one use.

Some abilities like Force of Nature needs trees to allow targeting last I remember.

Blizzard works, but makes the sound and appears 1 ice falling from the sky

• RaiseSkeleton Warrior Dummy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to HeroVariable
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Silence
  • Actions

    • Unit - Add Raise Dead to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Raise Dead for (Last created unit) to (Level of Silence for HeroVariable)
    • Wait 0.24 seconds
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Undead Necromancer - Raise Dead.

And why not a custom channel again? This is definitely something that a custom channel ability targeting set to Point, Area of Effect for radius, with Visible + Targeting Image can do after all.

Projectile and Missile Systems have no need for abilities last I remember

But I can has 2 channel abilities in same hero ?

Yes you can. This is why Channel is the go to ability for Spell Section.

Make sure they use different Order ID, and they can with no issue

EDIT:

I think this might help: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z17FTnhyfVL87tJgLmwWks3Low6TuQ0tjfKHXBELWpo/edit?usp=sharing

 

[Herod]

ok i will test here then i will give you feedback

 

[Daffa]

If you need reference, you can check resources like Yuri Drewes Spell Pack v1.0 on how to have multiple Channel abilities in one unit/hero

EDIT:
In that spell pack, both Firestorm and Round Spark are targeting point abilities both based on Channel

Yes but srry didnt tell you, but channel I will use on Projectile missile system in "bone spear", I ve tried blizzard, force of nature, etc, no result have its base

Channel can have its base order changed in the OE. Not the order string fields, the base order field.

Use an order that matches the targeting type you want (point targeted). Such flexibility means a unit could have and use a hundred different Channel-based custom abilities as long as they all have a unique base order.

You need to change some of the settings in Object Editor for Channel to work right.
