Shared Altar System Possible?

[Regalus]

Hello fellow Hivers!

Is it possible to create an Altar system that is shared between players (and changes somehow) without resetting the heroes revive timer each time it changes? If not, I'll have to think of something to bypass this somehow.
Thanks in advance.

Explain what do you mean by "changes".

Your solution is probably...

Player selects the Altar. Deselect and have them select a dummy altar at the same position, let them order the revive. Now play the animation of the real Altar so it looks like it's actually working.

If the Player orders the cancel or it finishes reviving, turn off the animation on the real Altar.

Because the map contains 4~ heroes each team, I would like to change each time a player selects it like p0ke described.

@pOke: Hmm, I will take a look into that later. Also, how do I force the player to deselect/select the dummy altar?

I've attached a trigger to show how you would force the player to select the dummy altar when the player clicks on the real one. The only thing left to be done would be another trigger where you catch if the dummy altars are ordered to revive you need to play an animation on the RealAltar and when those finish or are canceled play the stand animation.
