Reflection

[Heaven Editor]

I'm making a spell which creates a reflection of a targeted unit. Is there other alternative besides item illusion and unit - create unit. Unit - create unit is ugly if the targeted unit is a hero. hm. :\

I think that in GUI the best is too use Item Illusion; maybe in JASS there is a better way to do it.

Wait, can you tell me the downside of using Item Illusion ability ?
It works well, most of the time (most famous maps use this base ability, and it worked well, very well)

You can either give a dummy unit item or just order it to use the ability based on its Raw ID (I forgot the index)

Think about creating illusion of an enemy.

Its doable by the wand of illusion ability... as long as you set the targets right...

Oh I see. :vw_impressed:
I'm not good at non-trigger spell

What do you meant by this ?

Just give the item ability (Item Illusion) to the dummy, and use this action to target the enemy unit:

• Illusion Cast
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Illusionism
  • Actions
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set TargetLoc = (Position of Target)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at TargetLoc facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add a 0.50 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Create Wand of Illusion and give it to (Last created unit)
    • Hero - Order (Last created unit) to use (Item carried by (Last created unit) of type Wand of Illusion) on Target
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TargetLoc)

Hidden

    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)

    • Hero - Order (Last created unit) to use (Item carried by (Last created unit) of type Wand of Illusion) on Target
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TargetLoc)

lol Don't need to do that. Just use ability Wand of Illusion.
However, if you want a trigger to affect these illusion, just pick unit with illusion buff.

• Unit Group - Pick all unit in 250 of TempLoc matching (Matching unit has buff Illusion equal to true) and do action

 

[Heaven Editor]

The downside. Maybe none. I just want to add banish buff to the illusion. So,
When i use event - unit spawn summon. Then create a dummy to cast the buff to the illusion. the buff is abit delay.

 

[Adiktuz]

make sure the cast point, backswing etc of your dummy caster is zero...

and the event - Unit enters region might be faster...

 

[defskull]

lol Don't need to do that. Just use ability Wand of Illusion.

Have you ever seen one in the GUI action performing the ability ?
Unless you're talking about ordering it via custom script (Ability's Raw ID, it is possible)

I found a list of Raw ID

 

[Adiktuz]

and why use a dummy, if the ability that the hero has is already based on wand of illusion?

the only time that you need a dummy is if you want it to be a mass illusion... but on the case of that trigger, its totally unnecessary...
