[JASS] Trying to rez a unit

[Teelo]

Heres what I've got for killing it:

private function killUnit takes nothing returns nothing
        call KillUnit(GetEnumUnit())
    endfunction

The unit died, but the corpse seems to vanish quickly. Its a peasant, and it dies in shallow water.

Heres what I have for rezzing it:

if (playersWorker[i] != null and GetUnitState(playersWorker[i], UNIT_STATE_LIFE) <= 0) then
                call ReviveHero(playersWorker[i], GetUnitX(playersWorker[i]), GetUnitY(playersWorker[i]), true)
            endif

I want it to rez the peasant and show that animation you see when your hero rezzes at an altar/tavern. The unit isn't rezzing at all though.

ReviveHero only works on heroes, because the two are registered by the game in different ways.

Edit: I think the way to go is to have a dummy unit cast "resurrection" on the corpse.

 

[TriggerHappy]

Units cannot be revived, only heroes can. IIRC.
You're going to have to re-create the unit with all the same attributes all over again.

Or just hide the unit then show it upon "revive".

 

[Teelo]

Hmm. Ok well if I were to recreate the unit, how would I go about showing that revive animation over it?

 

[Bribe]

Get the path of the special effect you want to use, then

call DestroyEffect( AddSpecialEffectTarget(pathYouWantToUse, bj_lastCreatedUnit, "origin" ))

 

[Teelo]

Well.. I've looked all through the mpqs and can't find the revive art. Anyone know where it is?

 

[Bribe]

... you looked through the mpq's???? That's like emptying an entire bottle of RAID on just one ant.

Open Object Editor, go to the abilities tab, view "Resurrection" (as an example, depending on what effect you want to use to revive) and view the "target-art". It should be human//spells//resurrecttarget.mdl or something. Just copy that and put it in the code I gave you as "Human//Spells//ResurrectTarget.mdl" (make sure, whatever it is, that it is in "quotes")

"Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\Awaken\\Awaken.mdl"

?

Eh? I want the resurrection art that shows when a hero is rezzed at an altar/tavern, not the one used by pallys resurrection. I dunno what it would be called :|

"Abilities\\Spells\\Other\\Awaken\\Awaken.mdl"

Thats the one, thanks!
