Ok roughly what i'm aiming for is this
Hero Summons Clone
Clone attacks and casts skills on the same target as the hero
hope you understand what i'm saying
PS there can be up to 10 of the same hero on my map if you can put that into the trigger to if possible

That trigger looks ok, make sure that you can only use this once you have enough lvls to have all other abilities. Then you need to make a trigger that makes the clone cast the same spell when the hero casts a spell. I would also suggest to have some sort of boolean to tell when the spell is active so you know when to make the clone try to ast the spell so it doesnt try if there isnt a clone.

You might want to add the clones to a unit-group so that you can order all units of that unit group to cast a certain spell, you should make a trigger like this:

  • Jaina Casts fireball and orders clones to imitate her
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    • Conditions
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Jaina_Clone_Group and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Neutral - Firebolt (Target unit of ability being cast))
You will have to make a trigger for each spell as they are based on different abilities and some require a unit and some require a point.

Ah yea, you wanted it to be usable for multiple heroes on a multiplayer map so you might want to add a array to the unit group, also for the blizzard you should use the exact same thing, but instead of "unit - issue order targeting a unit" you should use "unit - issue order targeting a point". Oh and might add a condition to each trigger checking what spell is being cast as it might cause issued on each ability cast.


Here are the triggers just to be clear:

  • Jaina casts fireball
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Fireball
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Clone_Unit_Group[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Mountain King - Storm Bolt (Target unit of ability being cast))
  • Jaina casts Blizzard
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Blizzard
    • Actions
      • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Clone_Unit_Group[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] and do (Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Human Archmage - Blizzard (Target point of ability being cast))
