Problem

[Beanut]

Okay, so im trying to create a spell, which is basically windwalk that leaves multiple illusions behind..
You cast the ability - so there will be a very short duration windwalk.
casting the windwalk creates a dummy unit that is supposed to cast something based on "item illusions", and thats where the problem comes- i do not know how to make a unit cast a custom ability by triggering. If it is possible afterall.
Please help!

Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Orc Blademaster - Mirror Image

1. Create 1 dummy hero
2. Create item illusion and give it to dummy hero
3. Order dummy Hero to use item

OR

See my spell >>> http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-v1-0-a-186426/?prev=d=list&r=20&u=mckill2009, it will give you an idea how to do it..

You can make it more cooler if you set each correspond illusion to be at their respective place
I just put the illusion location to behind of the casting unit, that's all
It doesn't look orderly arranged
But you can arrange it, just modify my variable BehindLocation and create 3 of them
And set 1 of them accordingly to your needs

wow, thanks for the help! +rep
I edited it a bit, so it doesn't create all the illusions at once- now it creates 5 illusions over 2,5 seconds, the arrange, i guess isn't needed.
Amazing work anyway..^^

I hope you're not using "Wait", right... ?

 

[Beanut]

oh yeah.. about that i heard, im supposed to use timer or what? And why may i not use "wait"?

 

[mckill2009]

use another trigger called 'loops' but if you're a beginner, then 'wait' is fine...wait sucks in spell making...

 

[Beanut]

Well, this got too complicated for me, so i will just make it a 1 illusion.. can always change stuff later.
Anyway, thanks to everyone who cared to help.

You CAN use Wait, if that spell is ONLY 1 unit can own that ability in that game at a time
If there is more than 1 unit that has that ability, you MUST not use Wait

 

[mckill2009]

you can use waits using by using custom scripts and input local variables...
the problem with locals is that you can only use it inside the trigger you are using...
