Easy self cast (frost armor)

[The newbie]

I was wondering if there is an easy way to make (in this case) Frost armor cast on one self without having to press and then point at the same hero casting it. And also without dummy/triggering spells.

If not, how can I do is with triggers simply?

 

[takethat]

for trigger,

make a ability, frost armor base on any self casting ability, eg: beserk, divine shield...

change duration to 0.01

make a dummy skill base on frost amor.

trigger:
a unit begin casting a spell
casting ability = Frost armor (the 1st 1)
Action
set TempPoint = position of trg unit
Create a 1 dummy for (owner of trg unit) at TempPoint
Order last create unit to Undead Lich - Frost Armor trg unit
gives 1second expiration timer for last created unit
Custome Script : RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

yep you need a dummy

Hate dummy units xD

Can't I place a buff on a target WITHOUT a unit xD?

Also, right now Im using Roar, is it important to use 0.01 and not 0.00 duration?

Oh, and when I do this? How does levels come into play?

Ice Armor
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Ice Armor (Fake)
    Actions
        "set TempPoint = position of trg unit
Create a 1 dummy for (owner of trg unit) at TempPoint
Order last create unit to Undead Lich - Frost Armor trg unit
gives 1second expiration timer for last created unit
Custome Script : RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint) "

I can't seem to find anything that defines what lvl the ability is, coz obviously I need it to cast a different "ability/buff" depending on what lvl it's "fake" Ice Armor is.

In most things, World Editor treats 0.00 as INFINITE. Meaning the buff from Roar would last forever. Instead of that use 0.01 as the shortest possible duration for a buff. Also You can use in Targets of roar "None" so no unit will get a buff anyway.

You dont have to use a title all the time

No.
Dummies are very important.

• (Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) 0

0=doesnt have

• (Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to (>=) 1

means he has it but at any level

• (Level of Bash for (Triggering unit)) Equal to (==) 1

means specific level checking
