Stats while unit is alive

[Xzere]

Hello folks, i have an idea of a spell, but i dont know how to execute it, the spell should be based of "Feral Spirit", and the idea is: If [This] unt is alive, then set the attributes of the casting hero to X.
Been trying around for a while now but cant seem to make it work.

Any idea on how to make this?

Event
Unit starts the effect of the ability

Condition
[Ability] Ability being cast is equal to Feral Wolf ability
• You don't really need [Boolean] YourHero is alive Equal to True here since dead units cannot cast abilities.

Action
(Hero - Set Attributes)
Hero - Set Strength of YourHero to 5
Hero - Set Agility of YourHero to 5
Hero - Set Intelligence of YourHero to 5

@Xzere Do you want the stats to be removed once the feral spirit dies?

Yeah exactly, bonus stats to the hero if the unit is alive, but if it's dead, the stats are back to normal

It's not what you asked for, but I would recomend giving your unit bonus stats instead of equating them to some value.
It can be done in a more natural way.

1. Create a custom ability that improves stats. It can have several levels if your spell does have several levels.

2. When "Feral Spirit" is used, add this custom ability to (Triggering unit). And set appropriate level.

3. When the summoned unit dies, remove the ability.
The only thing that can go wrong is: when the hero uses the ability the previously summoned unit dies.
And this death is registred after "unit start effect of an ability" is registred.
So, you need to make sure the summoned unit died not due to self-kill.
In order to acheve that one can compare (Killing unit) and (No unit)/null.

You can give the hero tomes of power that gives Positive/Negative attributes.
Now as for the summoning thing : You could add them to a unit group when they spawn and then make a trigger that checks when they die to subtract the stats. Something like this :

A unit dies

Dying unit is in Unit Group Equal to True

Decrease hero stats

Well it was what i asked for. I manage to make my triggers work till i want the stats to be removed if the summoned unit is dead. I guess i have to use if, then, else, but with what condition?
"If ((Summoned unit) is dead) Equal to True" does not seem to work. :/

"If ((Summoned unit) is dead) Equal to True" does not seem to work. :/

That's becouse (Summoned unit) is the new summoned unit.
Catch "A unit dies" event and compare (Killing unit) and (No unit)/null.

Hmm, how do you mean exactly?
