Ey man, could you make a tutorial on how to revive a unit? As in

Event - A unit dies
Condition - Unit type is equal to ---
Action - (method on reviving unit)

I've tried about everythin I could think of. I hope you can figure it out

Sure can do that, you just want to revive a unit of that type right? If this unit is a hero, possibly with items it will take more work. So is it just a normal unit or a hero?

 

[mjllonir]

Normal unit please, it's for my map and I'm really desperate lol . Of course, credits will be given and +rep

 

[Beider]

I will do a video tutorial later, sadly no time for a few days.

However I made a working trigger, if you use "unit dies" event then put all the information about the unit into variables right away. Because if you have any "Wait" command the unit will be removed from memory before it is executed.

Respawn
Events
Unit - Any Unit dies
Local Variables
PositionOfOldUnit = (Position of (Triggering unit)) <Point>
OwnerOfDyingUnit = (Owner of (Triggering unit)) <Integer>
UnitTypeOfDyingUnit = (Unit type of (Triggering unit)) <Game Link - Unit>
Conditions
Actions
General - Wait 2.0 Game Time seconds
Unit - Create 1 UnitTypeOfDyingUnit for player OwnerOfDyingUnit at PositionOfOldUnit using default facing (No Options)

[PurgeandFire]

Nice videos. Very helpful. =)

~Approved. I guess I'll put this in General Mapping.

 

[Lordthom]

can you make an tutorial (if you havent made it already) how to make an campaign with cinematics and quests?

thanks

 

[Xato13]

Hi i was wondering if you know ways to get the campaign units into your own map?

I have tried to copy but then only a part of the unit gets copied so doesn't work to well

 

[Beider]

You need to add the campaign as a dependency, just look under "File" on the menu and hit dependency then find the campaign files. If you add that you can use all the units from the campaign.

I dont know how to even change a units model, its way to easy only true masters can you it, and honestly i dont see how they can even figure it out X.x
