ability problem (trigger)

[MicroSheep]

okay so im not very new to maps making, i been doing it for a while now.

Im currently making an angel arena, and doing Naruto as a character.

Now i figured that you had to create a dummy and make it use wand of illusion on the main unit to create more then the maximum 9 clones, however for some reason, the number of illusions varies from the amount of dummies to no illusions made at all.

thanks

Except that last part this should severely clean up your trigger, and probably make it work. What does the last part do?

since its an angel arena and your versing other players, i didnt base the move off mirror image so i wanted the main unit to be swapped with a clone to confused the enemy,

Edited the post above, see if it works now ^^

And sorry, it's a freehand edit, no wc3 >.<

I have 2 siggestions to make this trigger better:
1. Instead of giving the item to a dummy, isnt it better to add the unit the Wand of illusion ability from object editor?
2. Why dont you use Starts the effect of an ability instead of Starts casting the ability? The event you use can be cheated by clicking the ability, then issuing move or whatever, and this way you can get infinite amounts of illusions.
