[Trigger] Request/Help: WoW style Revival trigger(s)

[theoutsider38]

Im looking to create a trigger(s) that enable a WoW style of revival.

A hero dies

A marker (body/grave) is placed at location of dying unt
A ghost is created at nearest Graveyard

A ghost comes within a certain distance of grave, give ghost dummy ability revive

A ghost leaves a certain distance of grave, remove dummy ability revive

ghost casts revive, revive hero at location of ghost


The only problem im having im really having is adding/removing the ability from the ghost, the rest is fairly stright forward. The "comes within range" function requires a definate unit and will not function with a variable and has no "unit leaves range" counterpart. I tried using moving regions but that gets confusing and regions dont really like to be moved.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Use the Trigger - Add Event Function to add a unit by variable to the function.
Edit: Upon looking over my post I realized I don't even know what I just said.

• Trigger - Add to (your_trigger) the event (Unit - A unit comes within range of your_unit)

And umm what do you mean about trouble adding/removing? Like trouble with the function, or where to put the action in the trigger itself. Postings of your problem areas really help.

ok so far i have...

• Create Grave
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player4
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player5
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player6
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player7
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player8
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player9
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player10
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player11
        • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player12
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Hero Grave for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Player4Grave = (Last created unit)

• Create Ghost
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Becomes revivable
  • Conditions
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player4
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player5
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player6
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player7
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player8
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player9
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player10
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player11
    • (Triggering unit) Equal to Player12
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Ghost for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at (Center of (Playable map area)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set Player4Ghost = (Last created unit)

• Cast Res
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Res
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Remove Player4Ghost from the game
        • Unit - Remove Player4Grave from the game
        • Hero - Instantly revive Player4 at (Position of (Triggering unit)), Show revival graphics
      • Else - Actions

Player 4-12 are Variables for the player heros. All im missing is 2 triggers, one to add the ability "res" to units that come within range and one to remove it from units leaving range.

Try this.

• Unknown
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set GhostLocation[4] = (Position of Player4Ghost)

• Unknown
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.50 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units within 256.00 of GhostLocation[4] matching ((Owner of (Picked unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple))) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If ((Picked unit) Equal to Player4Grave) then do (Unit - Add Acid Bomb to Player4Grave) else do (Do nothing)
        • If ((Picked unit) Equal to No unit) then do (Unit - Remove Acid Bomb from Player4Grave) else do (Do nothing)

This is the trigger/hard way.
You could much easily and less buggy use a aura skill.
When unit has the aura buff - add him skill.

• Unknown
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.30 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If ((Player4Grave has buff Revive) Equal to True) then do (Unit - Add Revive_Skill to Player4Grave) else do (Unit - Remove Revive_Skill from Player4Grave)
