[Spell] Orb Effects on Dummies

[Griffith]

Just a small question: how can I apply orb effects to a dummy unit? Like, I want to create a simple spell based upon necromancer-cripple but also add a reduced healing effect from the orb of fire. I tried to add it to the dummy upon creating it, but still nothing happens. The dummy attacks, yes, but it will not apply the effect.

Perhaps having the ability on an item and giving the item to the dummy + hero inventory? That's a bit annoying to do but heh. It's weird that the ability doesn't work, can you show what values you have for these fields?

 

[Griffith]

The dummy is not a hero unit; it's a normal dummy, and I actually add it to another normal unit like a footman, and it effectively works. I think that the problem is with the dummy unit, but I can't figure it out.

 

[Chaosium]

You can add the hero inventory to normal units regardless, but anyway there must be something wrong in the attack data of your dummy, perhaps the attack type?

Does the dummy attack actually hit before it disappears?
