mimic ability

[xvirus666]

in my loap map i making, im making these things called "mimics". now, their ability is to mimic any unit (and color of player)they choose. how can i do this? or is it even possible?

Ditto! I am thinking the exact same thing for my Hero Arena

replace hero with hero and retain their level?

not sure if you need to do this but dont forget to change the owner and change the color 2

Only thing i got..

Best thing I can think of is a nice and long complecated trigger Ok I wont write it down because I really dont know much on triggers but here is my explanation: Create a ability with no effect just a icon then create trigger saying when you click the spell on target that it makes a 100% full damge mirror image and gives that mirror to you (I know this part is possible Ive seen it done on a Heroline war) (ill email u it if u give me ur email) anyway that is best I think of...I dont think you can create a copy that has same detail it gonna have to be mirror.

something like this?

Mimic
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to mimic
    Actions
        Set Mimiced = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        Unit - Replace (Casting unit) with a (Unit-type of Mimiced) using The old unit's relative life and mana
        Set Replaced = (Last replaced unit)
        Unit - Change ownership of Replaced to Player 1 (Red) and Change color

mimiced is a unit, and replaced is a unit. im not sure this works but it might...

Yes it should work fine except you change ownership thing at the end. You want it too retain color and change it too owned of casting unit.

Unit - Change ownership of Replaced to Player 1 (Red) and Change color
--Change to--
Unit - Change color of (Replaced) to (Color of (Owner of Target unit of ability being cast))

ok, i did all that, now, i made the ability and when i try to target something, it says 'must target enemy heroes'. so i target an enemy hero and IT STILL SAYS THAT!!! mayb i should base the ability off of one that is real simple to edit...
