    In my RPG necro has a skill that takes a dead unit and summons a Skeleton (the w3 classic skill).The problem is that the old unit does not revive.
    How can i fix it or how can i make a custom spell like this?

    Unit does not revive? since when does Raise Skeletons revive units? anyway you could pick a random dead unit within the area and replace it, change owner and add a timer

    What do you mean by "the old unit does not revive"?

    If you want to make corpses not disappear, there is probably an option in the Gameplay Constants (in Advanced). If not, then in the Object Editor.

    Becuase raise dead destroys the corpse, making it un-usable. You might wanna look at your revive system better, unless you wanna trigger raise dead.

    I'd say that triggering raise dead is your only answer. Create a duplicate of the corpse, leaving the old one where it is... you could even set it to 100% transparency, so it looks gone (just make your revive system set transparency to 0% when it revives). After you've "revived" just give it the raise dead buff. Just make sure you set "raised units" in your ability to 0, or the unit will be raised anyways. :thumbs_up:
