Simple MUI Help

[Peacehagen]

So I have started exploring some MUI triggering but still have much to learn. Something I dont know how to do is this simple spell (which probably is very simple and I will facepalm myself when seeing how to do it).

When a Hero casts an ability he gets a passive ability for 5 seconds, which is removed after the duration.

It should not replace any spell, just add a new one for 5 seconds. And ofcourse be MUI so several players with the same Hero can cast it and still work.

Thanks for any help on this.

local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()
call UnitAddAbility(u, 'A000')
call TriggerSleepAction(5)
call UnitRemoveAbility(u, 'A000')
set u = null

All in custom scripts. The A000 should be replaced with the raw code of the ability.

Or create a timer for the hero when the ability is cast. Start it, register the expiration for a trigger. When the timer expires, remove the ability. There's no need to destroy the timer, since it is likely that it will be used again. So check whether the timer exists or not before creating one. You can "attach" the unit to the timer by saving the handle id of the unit for the timer into a hashtable.

Got error on every custom script when using those texts :/ changed the A000 to the right value. What is the "u"? a variable?

 

[Maker]

What error? They should look like this:

• Custom script: local unit u = GetTriggerUnit()

I will show you in a picture

The must not be any actions above locals. Locals must be at the top.

 

[Peacehagen]

ok, so how do i add in the damage of the ability?

 

[Maker]

Perhaps...move the damage line after the locals?

 

[Peacehagen]

yeah that worked

@Maker
Even if you don't set it as local variable, Triggering Unit will work MUI regardless of how many Waits.

I think you know this, but missed the point
