Requesting an illusion spell

[FallenAngel1999]

Hi! I'm currently working on an ability that is similar to Spectre's Ultimate in DotA 2. What it does is creating an illusion for each enemy hero on the map at their location. My problem is everytime more than one unit cast a spell at the same time (i'm trying to make it MUI), illusions don't get moved accordingly to their supposed position.

Let me explain further: I have 5 enemy heroes in my map and 2 units casting the ability. If worked, it is supposed that each enemy hero has 2 illusions. However, everytime the 2 units cast the ability, some heroes have 3 illusions, some have 2 and some don't even have any.

So can anyone make me a GUI/MUI version of the spell I need? Thanks and +rep for your help.

EDIT 1: The number of illusions created is still correct (5 for each enemy hero per cast), just their positions are incorrect.

You can use GUI Custom Illusion v1.1 to create some illusions at your desired location.

Just alter the demo trigger to something like this.

• Illusion
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to YourAbility
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
            • ((Picked unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • -------- set base unit --------
            • Set CI_IllusionUnit = (Picked unit)
            • -------- set the facing angle, etc. --------
            • Set CI_IllusionFacing = (Facing of (Picked unit))
            • Set CI_IllusionOwner = (Owner of (Triggering unit))
            • -------- no need to remove this location afterwards --------
            • Set Cl_IllusionLocation = (Position of (Picked unit))
            • -------- This means the image will deals full damage --------
            • Set CI__DealtDmgFactor = 1.00
            • -------- This means the image will takes 4x of original damage --------
            • Set CI__TakenDmgFactor = 4.00
            • -------- create the illusion based on variables above --------
            • Custom script: call ExecuteFunc("CI__Copy")
          • Else - Actions

I tried, but for some reasons it bugged: For the first cast, no illusions were created. For the following casts, illusions were created but also tons of my casters were created at the Center of Playable area and didn't dissapear afterwards. Also, can I edit the duration of the illusions, as I just want them to exist for a short time, not permanently

Post triggers, just don't say that it isn't working.
