Custom Ability Similar to Reincarnation

[l)emonStorm]

I am making a custom ability based off reincarnation. when a unit dies if the ability is cooled down, i want a ghost of the unit (i already made that) to appear at the players start location. The ghost can then move to the body of the dead unit (i created a permanent corpse) and ressurect it (i already made the ability). However, my trigger does not work, and i think it is because of the event. Any ideas? Here are my triggers: (i couldnt think of any way to do this without multiple triggers)

Why doesn't it work? What happends?

He just wont get summoned?

nothing happens... the hero isnt hidden, the corpse doesnt appear, and the ghost is not there. thats y i think the event in the 1st trigger is the problem.

You cant detect reincarnation with a simple ability event, yes there is ways to detect reincarnation but that is to long to explain here ^^.

An easier way may be something like this:

Use a timer to keep track on if the Reincarnation ability is cooled down or not.
This makes the ability not multi-instansable, only player-instansable (a player cannot have more than 1 unit with this ability).

Uses a Timer array (CooldownTimer)

    Events
        Unit - A unit Dies
    Conditions
        (Level of Reincarnation for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
        (Remaining time for CooldownTimer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]) Equal to 0.00
    Actions
        Countdown Timer - Start CooldownTimer[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))] as a One-shot timer that will expire in <Cooldown Time> seconds
        -------- Rest of the actions here, use triggering unit insteed of casting --------

Hopefully this helps
