Raise Dead spell

[Herod]

I´m trying make some diferents maps to Warcraft 1: Orcs n Humans mode.
Need to know if is possible make the raise dead spell like this:

Raise 1 skeleton from 1 corpse, but this have various diferent skins.
For ex: Raise 1 skeleton from 1 corpse, but this raised minion has 50% chance be a skeleton warrior, or 50% chance be a Skeletal archer.

This is possible??

There's no percent chance on the ability itself on the Object Editor, but you can simulate this with triggers.

• Random Skeleton
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to Skeleton Warrior
    • (Random integer number between 1 and 100) Less than or equal to 50
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Summoned unit))
    • Unit - Remove (Summoned unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 Skeleton Archer for (Owner of (Summoned unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s birth animation
    • Unit - Add a 45.00 second Raise Dead expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add classification of Summoned to (Last created unit)

ty, there´s no way, to do without triggers?? Cause i´m trying do this in a custom campaign (warcraft 1). Summons 2 diferents skins with same propeties? 1 skeleton warrior, 1 orc skeletal ramdomly??

Or how I do that trigger in a custom campaign?

ty, there´s no way, to do without triggers??

I don't think so.

And if you want a skeletal orc, then you just make a second unit that looks like it and change it to the trigger instead of that Skeleton Archer. And I haven't really ever made custom campaigns, but I guess triggers work just the same there?

 

[Herod]

OK ty, i´ve tried this and worked nice. But there´s a custom campaign that this is not working, that a trigger, makes a area near a necromancer, "replace" corpses to skeletons, like raise dead. How I do with 4 kinds of skeletons?

You remove the "Random integer number..." from the conditions, and instead put it into the trigger actions.

Set RandomInt = Random integer number between 1 and 100
If - then - else
if RandomInt = less than or equal to 25
then
Create 1 Skeleton Archer
In - then - else
if RandomInt = greater than 25 and less than or equal to 50
then
Create 1 Skeleton Grunt
In - then - else
if RandomInt = greater than 50 and less than or equal to 75
then
Create 1 Skeletal Orc
If - then - else
if RandomInt = greater than 75
then
Create 1 Skeletal Warrior

After that you can make put all the same actions outside the if's.

Simpler to do things with array variables:

• Events
  • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.50 seconds //don't use the map init event, it can crash the init thread
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set SkelVariants = SkelVariants + 1
  • Set SkelUnit[SkelVariants] = Skeleton Archer
  • Set SkelVariants = SkelVariants + 1
  • Set SkelUnit[SkelVariants] = Skeleton Grunt
  • Set SkelVariants = SkelVariants + 1
  • Set SkelUnit[SkelVariants] = Skeletal Orc
  • Set SkelVariants = SkelVariants + 1
  • Set SkelUnit[SkelVariants] = Skeletal Warrior

Sabe's trigger will sort of fail because it checks for the owning player after the unit has been removed. That is fixed below:

• Random Skeleton
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Spawns a summoned unit
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Summoned unit)) Equal to SOME_DUMMY_UNIT_WITH_NO_MODEL_YOU_USE_FOR_ONLY_THIS_SPELL
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Summoned unit))
    • Unit - Remove (Summoned unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 SkelVariants[(Random integer between 1 and SkelVariants)] for (Owner of (Triggering Unit)) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Animation - Play (Last created unit)'s birth animation
    • Unit - Add a 45.00 second Raise Dead expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add classification of Summoned to (Last created unit)

@Herod still working on this one? Enhanced Raise Dead (Different Corpse, Different Skeleton)
also, if you want as simple as requested in OP, you can make multiple levels and change the level randomly everytime it is cast.
check out my trigger in the link above for the (Enhanced Exhumed Corpses)
you can do similar idea, change level randomly
lvl1 for warrior
lvl2 for archer

but anyway, I think the spell pack is more reasonable for you.
