[Trigger] Summons

[vijju123]

Guys i want a trigger in which-
-A hero summons a unit
-the summon is also a hero
-the summon has attributes as-
- str of caster/2
-agi of cast/2
-int of caster/2
the hero isnt revivable and when he dies he is revived by casting the skill again

-A hero summons a unit

What do you mean by "summons"?

-the summon is also a hero

Make a new Unit object entry based on a hero entry like the human paladin and customize it however you want.

-the summon has attributes as-
- str of caster/2
-agi of cast/2
-int of caster/2

Simple integer division. You set the unit's stats to the stats of the hero divided by 2.

the hero isnt revivable and when he dies he is revived by casting the skill again

What skill? You have mentioned nothing about a skill before now.

Anyway you could probably implement the behaviour you want here using a conditional statement.

Do remember that multiple heroes will leach EXP unless you use a custom experience system or make it so that leaching heroes do not reduce the experience awarded.

sry.........................

A hero summons a unit means that a hero uses a skill to summon (like feral spirit summons 2 dire wolves)
the summon is a hero................................ i did till here

gimme the trigger for -
stats of unit as -
int(of summoning hero)/2
str/2
agi/2
and when this summon dies he cannto be revived by altar and can be revived by using the skill by which he was summoned

i think he means like the dark summoner on Curse of Time where when you summon its a hero and its stats are based on the main hero stats

 

[vijju123]

yeah something like that

 

[DsDarkMaster]

if i remember rightly it goes somthing like this

Event:
unit - unit begins casting an ability
Conditions
Ability - Ability being cast = [your ability]
Actions:
unit - create 1 [your summon] at the possition of TempLoc
unit - add a 30 second generic timer to last created unit
set - Stats = strength/2 (your formula here)
unit - set unit stats = stats

i think this is how it goes but i cant be sure till i get ome and check with world editor

 

[vijju123]

I want it permanently and if enemy kills him he can be summoned again by casting the skill again

and when this summon dies he cannto be revived by altar and can be revived by using the skill by which he was summoned

There is no way, as far as I remember, to retain a hero while making it un-revivable at an alter.

The script you are after using for a single unit looks somewhat like this.

// globals
unit summon = null

// body of code that you put into the function run when casting the ability
local unit caster = GetTriggerUnit()
if summon == null then
    // change 'H000' to the type of hero you want spawned
    set summon = CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(caster), 'H000', GetWidgetX(caster), GetWidgetY(caster), 0)
endif
call ReviveHero(summon, GetWidgetX(caster), GetWidgetY(caster), true)
call SetHeroStr(summon, GetHeroStr(caster, true)/2, true)
call SetHeroAgi(summon, GetHeroAgi(caster, true)/2, true)
call SetHeroInt(summon, GetHeroInt(caster, true)/2, true)

Ofcourse the global is placed where appropiate and the rest is placed inside the function that runs when the ability is cast. Not MUI and does not hanlde experience or revival problems.

Save all the relevant data in a hashtable when the summon dies, and then load the data from the hashtable when it is summoned again.

If the real hero can only have one such summon at a time, the hashtable key can be the real hero.

 

[noob]

Does not use hash table for so few data use instead arays it is faster.
