Revive - Raise Dead

[Lyle.]

Is their a built in skill that Revives a dead unit?

Something like Raise Dead except it revives the unit that died instead of the same unit regardless of the corpse. I'm not looking for Animate Dead, I don't want AoE.

I can't think of anything built in but I figured I would ask...

What? Seems like the same stuff to me. The last ability learned by the paladin?

Raise Dead "targets" a corpse.

Animate Dead and Resurrection are AoE spells.

I would like a spell that "targets" a corpse and raises the unit as it was. As apposed to Raise Dead which always creates a specific unit, default is one or many skeletons.

There is not, as far as I can tell. However, you could trigger it pretty easily:

• Revive
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Raise Dead
  • Actions
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Target unit of ability being cast)) for (Owner of (Casting unit)) at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) facing Default building facing degrees

Tested to work perfectly. (because I was curious)

You'll probably want to edit the Raise Dead spell so that it won't also create skeletons, but other than that the above trigger is all that's needed.

^ Nice job.

Just edit the Raise Dead spell to raise a unit that has... no model file, no sound set, no food, 1 second duration.

The Player won't know he raised this unit.

Or you can change the ressurection spell to only revive 1 unit instead of default 6?

OR you can just tell it to summon 0 units...

You'll have to add the special effect and sound yourself if you want them to stay there, though.

Yep. You can't target the corpse, but then again neither can you with raise dead, so I suppose that's moot. You can't set it to auto-cast either, but eh.

Your best bet, if you triggered it, would be to find a spell that targets a corpse. Channel might be able to be set to do that, not sure.

Thanks Agent that will work, +rep

'Load Corpse' of the Meat Wagon might be the perfect fit for you. But alas, I am not 100% sure. It even supports 'autocastability'.

It's not a unit target ability IIRC.
So it won't work for this situation.
