UNIT with attributes

[uro]

i'm trying to make a hero with the ability to summon creatures which have for example 30% of the heroes str and dmg, but its hard to create since the units dont have any attributes, is there any way to fix this? I could make each unit a "hero" but it wouldnt look good with the portraits in the left corner

In the object editor, Heroes have an option to turn off the icon and death message. However, I think the units still exist after dying, so you need to remove the unit to prevent leaks. Also, the heroes will not leave corpses, so any reanimate on spells would have to be triggered.

The problem about this is that the unit is still a "hero", so he will re-spawn like a regular and upon death, my announcement of hero death will include this unit

If it is just the damage you are trying to copy you can make an ability to increase damage and give it to the unit that is summoned.

Hiding the death message is another option in the object editor. I don't have the World Editor in front of me right now, but I'm pretty sure you can turn off the revival via triggers.

you could give him "hidden" stats, for example a variable for each kind:
integer VarStrength = 5
integer VarAgi = 3
integer VarInt = 4
and if the unit casts the ability, you can call the stat you want

Yeah yeah, the regular one, but ive made one (like dota, "pwned (playername)'s head") kind of thing, and this one triggers when a hero dies, and my respawn system is also built on the fact the dying unit is a hero

How does this even work? Where can i apply the stats? since i cant edit the hp or dmg from trigger through the unit class
