Help on a new Jass Ability - Complex
Alright, so I'm trying to make a new ability based on a suggestion from a friend:
This is his description:
ultimate: Drop your sac and run from the cops. Goes invisibile, leaving a mirror image of himself which is actually a ward that basically does the beastmaster ultimate, but instead of dinosaurs or w/e, they are pigs.
To break it down, in order to make this ability I'll first start with mirror image, and that's where I get lost.
I'm not too sure how to continue from here; I'll just post a few possible situations:
Prefered Option:
I could make the image created uncontrollable, thus forcing him to stay still, attach a trigger that triggers upon his death or unsummoning, having a caster unit cast the "stampede", forcing him to stop when it died, meanwhile, giving the hero a form of windwalk [doesn't have to happen, optional].
Problem:
I don't know how to make the unit unable to be controlled, I also do not know how to how to trigger a caster to cast a channeling spell [nor the direction of it], nor how to make it stop upon his death. I also am stumped on the windwalk part.
Alternate Option 2:
Make it a summoning spell. Have it cast immediately after being summoned, in a random [or not so] direction. Have the hero windwalk afterwards.
Problem:
I could base this one off of windwalk, and use jass to force him to summon a spell. I'm still kinda new at Jass, so this is troublesome to me. I also don't know how to make a unit cast a spell when being summoned, or do an action, I've seen it with casters, but i'm not so sure about units.
Alternate Option 3:
Your choice ^^
Anyways, I hope that you can help me out with this ability, I'd appreciate it very much.
