Resurrection Spell

[Omniferous]

I'm working on a map that gives a unit the ability to resurrect a friendly unit owned by the player when it dies (as long as there is a corpse within range that is not the unit itself). The problem I'm running into is that there's no good method (from what I've seen) to resurrect a unit (not hero) based on triggers.

Here's what I've got so far.

• Redemption
• Events
  • Unit - A unit dies.
• Conditions
  • Unit - type of (dying unit) equal to Dark Paladin.
• Actions
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (units within range of 600.0) and do (actions):
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Picked unit) is not equal to (dying unit).
        • (Owner of (picked unit)) is equal to (owner of (dying unit)).
        • ((Picked Unit) is dead) equal to true.
      • Then - Actions
        • //Resurrect picked unit.
        • Special Effect - Attach special effect Resurrection (target) to (picked unit).
        • Skip Remaining Actions
      • Else - Actions

If I can't find a resolution, I may have to just create a unit of the picked unit's type on top of the corpse and remove the picked unit, or just make a dummy unit spawn on top of the dead unit, cast resurrection, and remove itself.

Is there anything more efficient than what I suggested?

SO if the Dark Paladin die, you want resurrect units.
1) Only 1 unit? Or all units in range?
2) The units of the owner of dying unit or all friendly units of the owner of dieing unit?

Just use the trigger above and create a dummy on the position of the dying unit and order it to cast 'Ressurection'.

Other than that, you can make a group of nearby dead units owned by the player which paladin dies, and then create the same unit type for him, removing the corpse.

As noted in the code I included with my post, it should only resurrect one unit, and as represented in the code and the bit I included before it, it should only resurrect units owned by the player who owns the dying unit, and only if they are in a range of 600.

I actually mentioned both of these solutions in my original post.

I wanted to know if there was a way to resurrect a unit solely with code, rather than using a dummy unit or creating a new unit.

Basically, there's no other ressurection than the mass ressurection from the paladin. Both ways mentioned will work fine. If you want to just ressurect a unit separately, just edit so the 'ressurection' ability has 150 AOE and make a dummy on the unit's corpse and order it to cast it.

Yeah, use a dummy casting Resurrection, set number of targets to 1 and in targets allowed, untick Friend and tick Player Units.
