Resurrection - Revive Heroes?

[RBC La Vaca]

I've been trying to get the 'Resurrection' skill to raise dead heroes, but I can't seem to get it to work correctly. Can anyone help me out?

Try...

Events:
A Unit Begins Channeling an ability
Conditions:
Ability equal to Ressurection
Unit is dead.
Unit Equal to *your Hero*
Action:
Instanly Revive Hero at Postion of Triggering unit.

Thats just a base trigger, just to really get ideas from. I don't think there is the condition: Unit is dead, but I think there may be.

Hope that helped,

I wonder how a dead unit will be able to cast any spell or ability.
Are you using the Resurrection skill from Neutral units?
The one that when the creep dies, waits a little seconds with a light all over the corpse and then the creep comes back to life.
I didn't know if it works in others than creeps...

resurrection skill may be a bit abusing if you are making a aos, arena or any kind of this maps couse people wait nearby the death hero and kill it continuesly.

You dont need triggers just give all heros resurrection skill with no cooldown and in my opinion a hero casting resurrection skill will not be defined as death unit so it will not revive with codes.

Thanks for the starter, it helped eventually. ^_^; The ability revives the hero now, but now the cooldown time I have set for it doesn't work. After I cast the spell, it let's me cast it again immediately after. The cooldown for each level is as follows: Level 1 - 300, Level 2 - 255, Level 3 - 210, Level 4 - 165, Level 5 - 120. Any idea why it's not using the cooldown times?

I'm making an RPG so no worries there. I just don't like Ankhs of Resurrection.

Cairne's Reincarnation ability from the Durotar campaign may be a good base ability to play with. I haven't actually timed whether the cooldown is faster with the 2nd level however.

It's not that the cooldown doesn't change, it's that there's no cooldown at all. The values are in the right fields and everything, but it doesn't initiate the cooldown.

I think that cooldown means how long the hero shall wait between his death and his resurrection, not the ability cooldown (between casts)

 

[Husky]

Yeah he other thing I waas thinking of was like:

If a unit dies and has ability Ressurrection, grant that unit a Ankth of Reincarnation and use it instantly (thus reviving the hero).

Obviously there are flaws in that, but you could use timer windows, for a cooldown.
