No gold earned when dummy kills... (problem)

[AceLegend90]

Hi, thanks for reading my problem!

I just have a slight problem. The dummies that I create for hero spells does not give the player gold when they kill units. How do I fix that so that when a dummy kills a unit, it gives the owning player gold?

That usually only happens when the dummy dies before the target.
With spells like Entangling Roots for example.

Is your dummy still around by the time the target unit dies?


Do you get any bounty at all from that player?

 

[AceLegend90]

The player receives bounty when he kills a unit with his personal attacks. However, based on my example, a dummy is created to cast a storm bolt on a unit and the unit dies, no money is received.

So, I think you've answered my question that the dummy IS in fact removed right after he casts storm bolt. What's the most efficient way of delaying the removal of the dummy unit? Give it a short expiration timer? What's the general timer for expiration timers on dummies?

i think an expiration timer of 2 - 4 seconds is enough for you.

Did you trigger a bounty system? Otherwise if the dummy has the same owner as the caster you should get bounty for the kill.
