Suggestion for spell to use

Model/Spell Request

Edited this post to something else I needed ^^

So I am making a spell which summons a Holy Spirit over a targeted ally which lasts for 8 seconds.
Every 2 sec, the spirit heals the target of the spell.

Now, what I need is a yellow (holyish) wisp model which would work as a buff at atachment "overhead). Does only need stand and death animation.

Or, if anyone knows how to create a dummy of a wisp (with team color yellow) which can follow a unit around then that also works.

It should not be a unit put on follow as there is some delay before it moves after the unit. Must be moving with him

Thanks for any help on this

Create a Dummy Unit and make following triggers:

Cast

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Holy Spirit
• Actions
  • Set target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Unit- Create 1 Holy Spirit for Neutral Passive at (Position of target) facing Default building facing degrees
  • Set wisp = (Last created unit)

Loop

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Unit - Move wisp instantly to (Position of target)

Adjust the dummy's Flying Height so it fits the targeted unit.
I suppose you will use some spell that will actually heal, but if not, I suppose you know how to trigger healing. If not even that, just say and I will post you another trigger.

This should help you. LocZ to get proper height for wisp (depending on position of target of the given spell)

• init
  • Events
    • Map Initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set LocZ = Point(0.00,0.00)

Preparing dummy: create standart dummy using wisp model (disable attack, abilities: immunity, locust, disable shadows) and fill field Art - Allow Custom Team Color to Yellow.

            • Custom script: set udg_Height = (GetLocationZ(udg_LocZ) + 100)
            • Animation - Change HSdummy[Key] flying height to Height over 0.00 seconds
            • Set Reali[Key] = Reali[Key] - 0.05
            • Custom script: if (Reali[Key] <= 0) then
            • <healing stuff -> you choose how it should be done>
            • Set Reali[Key] = 2.00

Trigger uses Unit Indexer, thanks to Bride for this amazing tool.
Fill healing actions within 'if' function.
Reald - duration of spell, Reali - interval of healing.

Cool, thanks to both of you, I will try tomorrow and return if I cant get it to work but I'm sure there wont be any problems

 

[Peacehagen]

I have only one problem, I have changed so that the dummys custom colour is for player 5 yellow, but when created it is still red :/ any ideas on this?

 

[GangSpear]

You can use this?

• Unit - Change ownership of (Triggering unit) to Player 5 (Yellow) and Change color

or your add wrong triggers?

 

[Peacehagen]

It worked creating it for player 5, then changing ownership to owner of triggering unit but retain color ^^

Thanks
