Only One Summon at a Time

[Goober4473]

How can I make it so that if you use a summon ability, it ends the ability if it was used before? I think Summon Misha did that, didn't it? You couldn't summon two Mishas. When you used the ability, it removed the old one and summoend a new one.

 

[Squishy]

Couldn't you base the one you need to make off of Summon Misha then?

 

[ReGnerA]

base it off summon misha then

Feral spirit? As in the Far seer summon..

 

[darkRae]

Use Feral Spirit, Summon Bear, Summon Misha, or even Tornado.

If you use triggers, count the number of units of that type owned by the player, then remove it when a unit begins summoning.

 

[Goober4473]

The problem with detecting if the player has one already is that the summon isn't a unique hero ability. I need any given player to be able to have multiple summoners, each with their own summoned unit, limited to one summon at a time each, not overall.

But, aparently just using Summon Misha works, which is weird, since it's exactly like Summon Bear (which I used before), but with 4 levels and a differant unit.

feral spirit works well, just lower the number of summoned units at a time to 1, then make summon cooldown longer than the summon's lifetime. that way each summoner should be able to summon 1 unit at any given time.

That doesn't work for me,Infact that's why i've just joined this site.Whenever I use summon misha to base it off of ,or feral spirit for that matter,there's an animation glitch.I've got an item called a clay tablet, it summons clay golems,these clay golems are suped up clay golems,everytime i test the item with my palidan hero.The golems are summoned but there's an animation right in them(at the exact spot where they are standing) of mud golems,they stand there for a few seconds or if i move the clay golems they move with the clay golems still right on them and then go through the death animation a few seconds after the summoning.I've tried solving this problem but it seems i'd have to push ever button on the object editor:banghead:.I'm not sure where the problem is but I suspect it's at buffs.I read some threads and another guy had the same problem,as a matter of fact I think it was you ghoul lord, and they told him to switch the spell it's based off of to summon water golem,but my golems are permenent until killed or until the token is used again,it's a permenant summoning item.So if I do that I would be able to make an army of more powerful than normal mud golems,that would kill my campaign,unless the mision had a time limit I guess but i don't like those.I tried using a trigger to solve this but can't figure out how to get rid of the two old golems when I summon new ones,It's driving me nuts!:nuts:.If anybody could solve either problem I would be very very helpful,

[Rock Golem]

[Rock Golem]

[Rock Golem]

does the fact that it's not working have anything to do with the fact that it's an item?

WOW,that was good,it did work,but,now when I used the Item If any mud Golems of the Item bearer are still alive no other golems show up,my intent was for them to be replaced,much like feral spirit does,can this be fixed?If not I'll just put do not use while other mud golems are summoned to the field on the item

 

[Rock Golem]

never mind I think I've got this one!
