First post! Hi there.
I've been trying to make an ability using two channel abilities (the base order ID of the second has been changed so as not to create editor conflict) that will in effect cause the caster to undergo the mirror image 'blurry' effect, teleport to a target, attack, and repeat two more times in quick succession. (Essentially, assuming the target isn't moving, the caster would appear at different points around it, attacking before disappearing again.) Everything regarding that primary, triggered ability- activating the second, 'mirror image', ability, teleporting, attacking, and repeating- works perfectly. My work with the trigger editor is, I believe, complete.
The trouble I'm having is actually in making an ability that looks like Mirror Image but isn't. As far as I know, this has to be done using Channel, because I need the icon to be invisible (otherwise the unit would have a functionless, looks-like-mirror-image ability), but try as I might I simply can't get Channel to look like Mirror Image.
I've basically gone through and changed every value that Channel has similar to Mirror Image to be identical to it, yet all my little Arthas will do is raise his sword in anticipation of greater things. The only thing I can think of that it might be is 'Data - Animation Delay', which is .5 on Mirror Image and nonexistent on Channel, but it really doesn't seem like that would be the whole problem and in any case I've no idea how to go about fixing it.
Any possible fixes, general recommendations, or completely out-there ideas? My ability works, essentially, but I really wanted those extra style points.
Thanks a lot in advance for any help!
