[Spell] need help with a summoning spell

[lynhbn]

Hey guys I recently created a skill such that:

- My hero summons a monster
- If each one of two die, the another will die together

( this skill works like the skill of Hero Meepo in DotA )

I've tried to deal with but still unsuccessful

Can anyone help me?

Did you created a trigger? If yes, post it please.
How many units can cast this spell? All, 1 per player, or just 1?

1st you need to trigger the summonig spell. Store the... hm... what follows depends on the answer of this question:

How many units can cast this spell? All, 1 per player, or just 1?

[defskull]

Have you ever heard of a term: MUI ?
Yeah, your trigger is not MUI (the way you presented it).

 

[Chaosy]

Dude, if we got 4 units and 4 summoned units and then one of them dies your trigger will kill them all

 

[Maker]

Defskull, if you wanted to cut down the amount of function calls, you should have used a variable for the handle id, not for the caster unit.

 

[defskull]

LOL yeah what am I thinking =.="
That will reduce more function call, instead of calling HandleID to retrieve Integer, right ?

 

[Maker]

Yes.
