Ambush?

[Mmage]

This is MMage, and i am working on a marine map. Is there a way to have a active (you have to actually use it) ability that makes you and all other heros near you have a Shadowmeld invisability? (the reason i say have a shadowmeld ability is that when you move, shadowmeld wears off.) If so, is there a way to do this without giving the heros/units involved a shadowmeld ability?

If Shadow meld then it won't work on the day... And this is only what i got, sorry..

Events
 Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
Conditions
 (Ability being cast) Equal to [blah]
Actions
 Set VarUnitGroup = Units within [desired area] of Position of (Casting Unit) matching ((Matching Unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Casting Unit)))
 Unit - Pick every unit in VarUnitGroup and do Add [Shadowmeld] to (Picked Unit)
 Wait [5] seconds
 Unit - Remove (Shadowmeld) from (Picked Unit)
 Custom Script: call DestroyGroup(udg_VarUnitGroup)

Well i only said shadowmeld, the reason for that is becouse that when u mvoe shadowmeld is disabled. I need the thing to work on day also.

Add the unit ability Ghost to all the units, then add a trigger that tests if they are issued an order, and if so remove Ghost.

 

[waaaks!]

yeah a custom shadow meld with levels creates bug, you can use Permanent Invi and remove it when the unit moves like what gref said

Perment invis will stay forever until they move, thats good, but if they attack, they are still invis. That i was diffrent.

Oh i get it.

A Unit (moves/attacks/whatever)

remove (ghost) from unit

i get it now. I will check to see if that works.

I need to make sure that no unit can get through my "remove" trigger, so i added a few things. Can any1 make sure that no unit can get by this tigger without it affecting it?

I am sry for double post, but i thought of something! Could the guy use Big Bad Voodoo, but make all invis with a shadowmeld thing instead of invul, including himself?

Wow; that's inefficient. The "Triggering Unit" event response exists for a reason:
