Hero revival item

[Erkki2]

I want to make an item that revives any hero it's used on. Here's my problem: How to target a dead hero?

 

[HL.Clockwork]

use Ankh ?

else u could drop an item upon death and save last carrier.

It is not possible to detect a dead unit. This stuff is very complicated, try search function..

how about making a trigger to mark the spot a hero died
then cast the item ability on the spot?
make a hero-ghost dummy unit on its spot, which 'dissipate' after awhile

I don't know if that would work since player can have many heroes... And by the way, if it makes things any easier, it's a single player map.

adjust a creep respawn trigger to do it like the conditions would be
owner of (dying unit) = Player 1
(dying unit) = Hero

Change a Hero's Combat - Death Type to Can raise, Does not decay. In that way the Hero's corpse will remain.

If you create an AoE-like item spell and use a trigger like;

Revive You!!
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        ((Target unit of ability being cast) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Set TempPoint = (Position of (Casting unit))
        Hero - Instantly revive (Target unit of ability being cast) at TempPoint, Show revival graphics
        Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

EDIT; you could base the spell of Dispel Magic.

I tried that but it decays anyway.
