Doppelganger Spell

[Mythes]

Actually I think I know the problem..
The item must be "Dropping on death" !!!!
I didn't check that..
Will check this now!
And if I remove the item, it must be before the units death...

You don't need to give an item to the dummy caster, give the dummy caster the ability Item Illusions and order the dummy caster to cast the said ability to the real caster. Since the ability Item Illusions has no orderstring, you need to use its orderid, all abilities have orderid's.

• Item Illusions
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Wind Walk
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Footman for Player 1 (Red) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Set dummy = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Hide dummy
    • Unit - Add Item Illusions to dummy
    • -------- This custom script orders the dummy to cast the Item illusions ability choosing a target. --------
    • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_dummy,852274,GetTriggerUnit())
    • -------- This isn't relevant to the topic, just used it to make the unit explode on death. --------
    • Custom script: call SetUnitExploded(udg_dummy,true)
    • Unit - Add a 2.00 second Generic expiration timer to dummy

Please consider this solution as it is much simpler than what your doing right now. I already mentioned this, seems you didn't read what I wrote.

chobibo...
I read what you wrote and replied...
I tried to add an ability ID to it (acidbomb) and make dummy cast acidbomb on the buffed unit (because this skill is a buffing ability)..
I will test your trigger and give you feedback soon...
Sry if you felt ignored...

chobibo,

If I edit the ability (Item Illusions), will the orderstring ID be the same?
I don't think it's working with an Item Illu. based off ability...
Actually, it's not working even with Item Illu normal ability

• Doppel Strike Copy
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • ((Attacking unit) has buff Doppelganger ) Equal to True
    • DoppelBoolean Equal to False
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Attacking unit)) at ((Position of (Attacking unit)) offset by (0.00, 0.00)) facing (Facing of (Attacking unit)) degrees
    • Set DoppelUnit = (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Add Item Illusions to DoppelUnit
    • Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_DoppelUnit,852274,GetTriggerUnit())
    • Set DoppelBoolean = True
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Unit - Kill DoppelUnit

Make sure the unit can actually cast the ability.

 

[Mythes]

It doesn't have mana cost, nor techtree requirements, because it's a Item Ability.
Maybe I have to make it a Non-Hero, Non-Item ability?

Make it a unit ability

 

[chobibo]

You don't need to make it a unit ability. The only modification it needs is the duration of the illusions. I'll post a test map just wait.

EDIT:
I now know why your trigger isn't working, it's because your making the dummy caster for the attacking unit, instead of the unit being attacked. The dummy caster owned by the attacker cannot cast the item illusions ability on enemy units. You have to edit the Item Illusions ability to be able to target enemy units.

[del]If you still need a testmap just tell me here, I'll be checking.[/del]

Added the map just in case.

 

[Mythes]

But my point is, I don't want it to cast on enemy units, but on my own units..
Then again... Enemy units really sounds interesting....
Thanks for the idea..
But what must I change for it to cast on the ATTACKING unit? (the unit that is buffed with doppel. buff is the attacking unit)

 

[chobibo]

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_DoppelUnit,852274,GetTriggerUnit())

change to:

• Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_DoppelUnit,852274,GetAttacker())

 

[Mythes]

And does the order ID 852274 work with an abillity BASE OFF Item Illusions (that is, a custom ability) ?

Edit:
Nvm, it works..
Btw, where did you find the order ID ?

 

[chobibo]

I used a trigger to detect whenever a unit is ordered to target a unit, printed out the order Id by using the debugmsg function.

 

[Mythes]

debugmsg?
And where do I find that?
*Don't "google it" me*

 

[chobibo]

In GUI it's the GAME TEXT MESSAGE something, I can't remember exactly but it's the one you use to display messages.

off-topic: what's with the "google it" shit, I never answered with something like that, I don't post anything if I don't know what the fuck the thing is about. I'm actually annoyed...

 

[Mythes]

I'll try looking for it... Thanks..

Off:
Because many, many members troll other users when they ask newb-considered questions..
Thankfully you're not one of those guys...
Sorry if I annoyed you...
