[Spell] Resurrecting Enemies?

[Metrohaha]

I have been thinking about making a spell that allows a hero to raise the dead units of an enemy and fully control them.

This sounds like Animate dead, but obviously that spell raises some different version of the dead units. Seems like they have some things like shadowmeld still in-tact, oddly, but nothing else.

So, I turn to changing Resurrection to be this spell, where it raises enemies instead, but of course I am running into the issue that when I resurrect an enemy they stay an enemy.

So I assume I need to turn to triggers to solve this, but I am not sure how to do so.

I tried using "Change Ownership of (Target unit of ability being cast)" but this does not work presumably because resurrection is not a castable spell.

I'm sure I'm missing something basic, so if anyone could help me make this happen I would be very much appreciative!

It's not that easy, but it's not any hard too.

You'll need dummy spell and dummy unit.

Then use something like this:

• res
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Thunder Clap (Dummy ability)
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set TempGroup = (Units within 900.00 of TempPoint matching (((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to False))
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If ((TempGroup is empty) Equal to True) then do (Skip remaining actions) else do (Do nothing)
        • Set TempUnit = (Random unit from TempGroup)
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of TempUnit)
        • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Triggering player) at TempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
        • Unit - Add Resurrection (unit) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Human Paladin - Resurrection
        • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Change ownership of TempUnit to (Triggering player) and Change color
        • Unit Group - Remove TempUnit from TempGroup

Keep in mind that triggers leak Things That Leak

Add to the bottom of the trigger:

• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

This isn't really convinient when we pick a random unit from the group, because we have to filter it beforehand.
