    Make destructible/doodad COMPLETELY block vision?

    Detect unit visibility?

    I have a trigger that says if an enemy unit is within a certain range of a hero, then order the enemy to attack the hero. However, I don't want to enemy to be able to attack the hero if trees are blocking the enemy's vision of the hero. Is there anyway to check if a computer-controlled player...

    Question about unit orders

    Is there anyway to differentiate between orders given to a unit by the player, versus automatic orders issued by the computer AI. For example, if I select a unit and right click on a spot to move him, that's me giving him an order. But when he auto-attacks a unit, that's the computer giving...

    Create an effect visible to only one team?

    What I am trying to do is create a special effect over a unit that is only visible to one team of players, and not the opponent team. It can't just be an invisible dummy unit because the opponents will sometimes have true sight. It doesn't even have to be an effect, it can be a dummy unit...

    Abilities/Items sharing cooldown - Possible?

    If you can triggerize all the abilities, then you might be able to do something like this. Have the abilities do absolutely nothing on their own, but when one is cast, have a trigger like this trigger 1: Event - Spell 1 is cast Action - Do spell 1 effects, then wait .01 sec, order the...

    Units go straight for hero

    How are you controlling the mobs? What orders do you give them? If you just give them the attack-move order on a point, they should just move to that point and attack whatever is infront of them along the way.
