Problem with the Charm Spell

[evjhen]

Why it works on higher level creatures if they are not Neutral Hostile? If i put a knight and set his level to 10, the Charm spell still works and the knight gets stealed. I solved it by taking the Knight to the Neutral Faction instead of Human. There is a way to make this work but without having to change units to Neutral?

Sounds like a Reforged bug. Until it's fixed you can always trigger a Charm effect. Use Channel as the basis for the ability or some targeted ability that won't cause problems. Make sure it can't target Heroes.

• Events:
• A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions:
• Ability being cast equal to Your Ability
• Actions:
• Change owner of target unit of ability being cast to triggering player

And in order to cancel the ability if the target is too high level:

• Events:
• A unit begins casting an ability
• Conditions:
• Ability being cast equal to Your Ability
• Level of target unit of ability being cast greater than X
• Actions:
• Pause triggering unit
• Order triggering unit to Stop
• Unpause triggering unit

Note that I'm just typing these triggers off of memory, so they'll look slightly different in the editor.

Actually i am using the normal Warcraft 3 so it is kinda rare. I tried this and added some features and it actually works so thanks!

Nice, and by Reforged I mean the latest patches.

As far as I know, it has always been this way; the "Data - Max Creep Level" field that can be found in some abilities (Devour, Transmute, Possession) only works on creeps.
