[Spell] Permanent Untargetable Pet

[BETABABY]

I have this passive spell which if learned will automatically summon an uncontrollable and untargetable hawk. Well the hawk lets you increases the hero's vision radius. The hawk follows the hero everywhere, the problem is I don't know how to make the hawk follow the hero.

The event Unit - Issue Order Targeting a Unit

There should be a follow unit there. You Can change follow distance in gameplay constants.

What if I want the hawk to attack enemy units within the hawk following what he attacked like most uncontrollable units do??

I made it for you, MUI. Goes up to three levels.

I'll just assume that dee boo made it the boring way and just order the pet to walk to the unit's position instead of making it wander around the unit, which is a bit of a visual waste.

I am certain there are quite a few pet systems that does this, my own pet system which I made years ago (still in the spell section, link in my sig) does it. I made another system called "Wander" as well, which just handles the visual, though you'd need jass to use it in your case so I wouldn't exactly recommend it.

 

[DEE-BOO]

Boring, but no periodic event. :|

 

[Chaosy]

Well, I can't really deny that a periodic trigger would be needed xD

I am on my path to became a detective at this rate.

 

[BETABABY]

Well.. I could use some eye-candy of the spell, like roaming randomly everywhere inside the perimeter of the hero... Plus it would be better if the hawk suddenly attacks an enemy in range with several second interval.

Much like Emerald Warden's 4th skill in HoN (Heroes of Newerth)

Add Locust to it ? However, you will not be able to see its health points then.

 

[BETABABY]

That's the whole idea.. Make a permanent pet which is untargetable and unkillable.. It attacks everything in sight with 7 second intervals

For just a unit that follows you around:

1) Add Locust or Ward type to the unit

# When you learn this ability, create a unit next to the hero. Afterwards:

2) Order it "Right Click, Move" on you
- If you added Ward type, you can still click and move it around but you won't see its command card.
- If you added Locust, it will be invulnerable and untargetable but it will still do things with you

If you want it to attack things with you, then instead order it "Patrol" on you

You could also give him a customized Phoenix fire ability.

I'll have to try that.

What will that ability do?

 

[DEE-BOO]

I'll have to try that.

I already made it for you, exactly like that.

What will that ability do?

The ability periodically fires projectiles at nearby enemies.

 

[BETABABY]

Oh... Phoenix fire's range can be set, right??

 

[DEE-BOO]

Oh... Phoenix fire's range can be set, right??

Yes.
