===Wand Of Illusion (Item Illusion)===

[defskull]

Well, I want to create a triggered illusion ability
Where X% chance of the time, the unit will create the illusion of itself
Better understanding for people who plays DotA: This spell is like Phantom Lancer's Juxtapose
Okay here's the thing
I already got its base ability (Item Illusion)
But HOW do I order my dummy to USE that particular spell ?
I mean, I searched through "Unit - Issue Order Targeting A Unit" until "Unit - Issue Order With No Target" but to no avail, I didn't found this so-called "Wand of illusion" ability to be triggered with
So, I want this ability to copy (illusion the caster) for X% chance of a time
Thank you =~D

Item abilities usually have no order string. So you have to use the ById-functions, which go by the numeric order id.

You can obtain this id via a simple trigger:

• Events
  • Einheit - A unit Is Issued an Order targeting an Object
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(I2S(GetIssuedOrderId()))

Result is 852274 for this ability.

call IssueTargetOrderById(<caster>, 852274, <target>)

Another possibility would be to use the ability through an item and order use by

• Hero - Use Item On A Unit

 

[defskull]

For the "Hero - Use Item On A Unit" action...
We must FIRST add the ability to the unit first, before firing it, yes ?
If we use that action, the item must appear at the Inventory LOL
What will happen if my inventory is full at the moment ?

 

[WaterKnight]

The unit must have the item in inventory first. The item has the ability in object editor. Your dummy unit's inventory is full? You can create a fresh one or temporarily replace the items. Of course, it must have some storage place for the item, like in normal game.

 

[defskull]

Oh...
I get it...
My dummy unit MUST HAS the Inventory ability, eh ?
Then, add the item to the dummy
Trigger it from there, right ?
But my dummy is NOT a Hero
But the action says otherwise ?
"HERO - Use Item On A Unit" ?

Why not drop the item out of the whole thing:

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 *dummy* for *player* at *location* facing *facing*
    • Set unit = (Last created unit)
    • Set unit2 = *target*
    • Unit - Add Item Illusions to unit
    • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById( udg_unit , 852274 , udg_unit2 )

It's because I hate custom scripts =) (JASS)
But can't say hate, JASS has more efficiency, gotta admit that..

 

[WaterKnight]

But my dummy is NOT a Hero
But the action says otherwise ?
"HERO - Use Item On A Unit" ?

It also works for non-hero units. But back in the days, there were no unit inventories and maybe you also could not give them the hero one, at least not via normal editor. It was uncommon, anyway.

 

[defskull]

I had to use Hero as dummy-based unit
Cause' even if I add Unit Inventory to the dummy (normal unit), it still doesn't show up in UI, the 6-slot ability
So, I had to use Hero-type dummy
And Hide it =D
Thanks for the solution WaterKnight !
And you too Maker =D

 

[Maker]

You can add Inventory (Hero) ability to the non-hero dummy to give it inventory slots. Then you don't need to use hero.

 

[defskull]

No, I tested it out
Turns out, no inventory is showed ?
(Or maybe I did something wrong...)

EDIT:
Okay, I made a second test, it WORKS !
Don't know what's wrong with my previous method...
Thanks for pointing that out =D

Ah...Do something like array-viable on item and use this item from the dummy unit
