[bio-zombie]

hello, need help with another ability again

is this possible? i want to make an aoe ability that damges enemy, then after a while this spell can cast again without me (the hero).

Ye.. ull have to use dummy units though...

 

[bio-zombie]

hmmm....never create dummy unit before....

is it the trigger that create an unit facing default degree or something?

I'd love to help but i'm not sure, His idea sounds the most logical, but i dont konw how to make a dummy unit...acually he helps me alot with random things thanks again

yeah just have a trigger detect an ability ending, and check if its your ability, then have a wait for however long and make a dummy unit (you need to make the unit, object editor) at the location and have it cast the ability over the same place.

 

[bio-zombie]

ok one more question... say i want to cast again after the dummy is done casting after a while... what trigger should i do? :banghead:

 

[AgentPaper]

well after you have the dummy cast just have another wait and another dummy cast, you can repeat as many times as you want.

 

[xPheRe]

The trigger will run every time you cast the ability, so a new dummy will be created every time.
And that's the way it has to be!
But be sure you remove your dummy units from game a little seconds after it casts the spell.
Otherwise your map will be filled with (maybe hidden) many many dummies.

And no one wants something like this happening in it's own map

does the dummy have to be a different one? can i repeat the dummy over and over again?

oh one more thing... im making a hero traven map with creep spawn and there are two side. i can make the creep move from both side, but i dont know how to make them attack eachother... :banghead:

Yes you can, but it is much easier to create one new dummy for each cast.

oh one more thing... im making a hero traven map with creep spawn and there are two side. i can make the creep move from both side, but i dont know how to make them attack eachother... :banghead:

Two possibilities:
1. You use "Order Move to Point" isnteed use "Order Attack-Move to Point" (it is the same trigger just another order)

2. You are using order attack-move but the spawn isnt enemies with each other.
