Ressurecting units and changing their owner

[The_Legacy]

I want to make it so that when my Hero uses Ressurection the units Ressurected change ownership to the owner of casting unit.
I have tried and tried and have had no luck, suggestions would be appreciated.

You need to detect when the resurrection is finished and then check which units have changed from dead to alive.

and i would do this how?

 

[Dr Super Good]

By experimenting till you find a reliable way to do it.

You can simply detect whenever a unit BEGINS casting Resurrection, create a UnitGroup of dead units aroud the caster, then detect when a unit FINISHES casting this spell, run through the group and pick all units that are alive now.

No wonder you're called super good.

Well I do not have a full proof method out of hand how to do it as I never have had to.

It probably involves detecting dead units as you cast the spell and checking if any of them change to alive (if it resurrects them and does not just make new units). If it does make new units that complicates things a lot as you then need to detect the new units as well by seing which units are most likly to be resurrected units.

• Conditions
• (Ability Being Cast) Equal to Ressurection (Custom)
• Actions
• Unit Group - Pick Every Unit in (Units within 600.00 of (Target Point of ability Being Cast)) and do (Actions)
  • Loop - Actions
    • If ((Picked Unit) Equal to (Decaying Unit)) then do (Unit Group - Add (Picked Unit) to UnitGroup) else Do Nothing

Well, I told you before you could change the Units starts the effect of an abillity to "Unit starts casting an abillity". But meh, you said it didn't work so I can't help you. :/

By the way, HEYA CASEY!

Heya Michael
and yes i already tried that and it failed too...
i have tried many alterations on this trigger already, all have failed,
i think i need a new trigger, any help?

 

[M0RT]

I tried using these two triggers, and it worked:

• Ressurection change owner
  • Events
    • Unit - a unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) equals to Resurrection
  • Actions
    • Set RessGroup = ( Units within 900 of (Position of Casting unit) matching ( Life of Matching unit Equals to 0) )

• Ressurection cast
  • Events
    • Unit - a unit Starts the effects of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) equals to Resurrection
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in RessGroup
      • If ... then .... else
        • Conditions
          • (Picked unit is Alive) equals to true
        • Actions
          • Unit - Change ownership of (Picked unit) to (Owner of Casting unit)

It worked for me with the standard Paladin Resurrection.
