Dummy Tutorial

• RedQ
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Far Sight Item
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Hero manipulating item)) at (Position of (Hero manipulating item)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Predator to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Monsoon (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Trigger - Remove (This trigger) from the trigger queue

Ok I I know this doesn't work, because, if it worked I wouldn't be here
Anyway, It's an item, the item itself reveals a part of the map chosen by the user of the item. I also want a wave of monsoon to be cast in this area, (which I created and named predator, yes based off "Monsoon")
But I can't get it to trigger because item usage doesn't trigger the "Ability being cast" and if I use "Uses an item" then I cant use "point of ability being cast so I cant pick a place for the monsoon to cast.
(Its only Position of Hero manipulating cuz I used to have it on Uses an item)

Found it ^_^

Having trouble though
Im trying to do it with an item and, I cant use ability being cast because its really Item being used.

does the item have an ability based on Far Sight?
is Predator based on Monsoon?
don't forget to add expiration timer to that dummy unit
you leak a point
change (Owner of (Hero manipulating item) to (Owner of (Triggering Unit)); there is no item being manipulated!

i believe A unit uses an item is talking about charges, and potions and such..
when you use an ability based on an item, it's still an ability and you should use triggering unit and ability comparison

does the item have an ability based on Far Sight?
does the dummy have an ability based on Monsoon?

yes, the item's ability is a custom ability based on "Far Sight" where all I did was change hero ability to Item ability.
And yes, i mention "Predator" is based on Monsoon
And yea, Timer's easy but.. my issue is the Monsoon doesn't show up.

i think the issue is the dummy is not being created!

Well i gave my hero the monsoons kill I amde to try it out and... it doesnt kill them. I dont really know how to make it so that it will kill everything in the AoE. monsoon's cahnneling and i put damage to 9999 but it sometimes does... nothing
