reincarnation isn't really cast, it's a passive. That's like saing ability being cast == to critical strike. Reincarnation is a tricky thing, you could figure out how long it takes for reincarnation to work, then remove the ability after so much time.

I am at school and can't open WE, so i'll try my best

Event
A unit dies
Conditions
no conditions
Actions
wait (6 seconds) //or however many seconds it takes to revive
Remove (reincarnation) from (triggering unit)


that might work, but it's untested and could lead to trouble, assuming you have an error of a second and a unit dies immediatly after it revives, thus reviving again. The problem with revive spells is that you can't remove an ability from something that is dead.

i tried

Conditions
((Target unit of ability being cast) has buff Inner Fire Equal to false
Actions
Remove Reincarnation from (Target of ability being cast)

doesnt work either

The event is a timer; target unit of ability being cast is null.

Your gona need to set the unit to a variable. Otherwise the trigger loses track of Triggering unit after 10 seconds. I've got a spell that does something similar and I'll post it here, but its both incomplete and in VJass.

scope Resurrection initializer init

    globals
        private constant integer SPELLID = 'A005'
        private constant integer BOOKID = 'A012'

    endglobals

        unit r
    endstruct

        local timer t = GetExpiredTimer()
        local ss s = GetCSData(t)
        call UnitRemoveAbility(s.r, BOOKID)
    endfunction
    
    private function Duration takes integer lvl returns integer
        return 6 + (4 * lvl)
    endfunction

        set caster = u
        
        call GroupEnumUnitsInRange(g, x, y, 1000, Filter( function ishero))

            call TimerStart(t, I2R(Duration(lvl)), false, function timeout)

This is an area resurrection spell that gives all friendly hero's in range a single instance of reincarnation. I'm using an attached timer to keep track of the unit, each unit gets a timer. I'm at a loss to how you would replicate this in GUI though.

 

[Genkora]

off topic, sorry, but it loses track of triggering unit after 10 seconds? I wasn't aware of this.

Me neither, it seems I've used it longer than that without trouble.

I always thought when you say something like "triggering unit" it recording it for you, and that's why there is leaks.

 

[Prometheus]

Group all units, if they have buff and no timer then give timer. When timer expires you remove thing. If have timer then don't give timer. Shouldn't be too hard with an attachment system and PUI.

 

[Faust]

With reincarnation, the unit does not die. Use the event Unit - Life becomes 0 instead (or less than 1)

 

[Prometheus]

Death is hp @ 0.405 I believe.

ty that works.




everyone + rep

The game does tend to lose track of it after 10 seconds, yes. Although I've heard that Triggering Unit is kept in memory longer than the SPECIFIC ACTIONing Unit (target unit of ability being cast, attacking unit etc.)
