I suggest you to allow something like:

[ljass]function SetIllusionTimedLife takes unit illusion returns nothing[/ljass]

Noone want a illusion with infinity time

True, updated the system

 

[Dirac]

Updated.
-Now the system takes RegisterPlayerUnitEvent as a requirement
-Changed some of the code for it to work with the new version of Dummy

 

[codart]

Good job, man, i'm truly need it

 

[Dirac]

Updated:
-Removed the external block (the user should create it's own illusion ability)
-Changed the API

 

[Laiev]

The old is better IMO

You just need one ability to generate any type of illusion

Also, this function as a CreateIllusionEx should be good if people change the damage values of illusion.

 

[Dirac]

The thing is that the damage / duration of the illusions can't be changed through triggers and the default one doesn't always fit the user's needs, thats why i removed the default illusion ability
