Selecting Hero after using Resurrection

[kirinelf]

My Hero has a skill based off Resurrection, but every time he resurrects, it's annoying having to select him again. I tried making a simple trigger to reselect him after he revives:

• Resurrection
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Rebirth (Kurai)
  • Actions
    • Selection - Select (Triggering unit)

But it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I'm missing something, I'm just not sure what. Any tips?

Is the Resurrection spell a passive?

 

[kirinelf]

Yup. I figured that 'Starts the effect of an ability' includes Passive spells as well, but am I wrong?

 

[Komaqtion]

Yes, unfortunately, you are

For this passive to work, you have to have the event "A unit Dies", and then use a condition (I'm not sure if this works for dead units :S) check if the level of "Ressurection" is greater than 0

Note: Again, not sure if it works for dead units :S

make it selection for specified player number!

How would I get to the 'Ability level > 0' Condition check in the GUI?

I'm currently trying to throw a bit of JASS into the editor to see if it'll work and to learn more about it. This is what I have:

function Trig_Resurrection_Copy_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    if ( not ( GetUnitTypeId(GetTriggerUnit()) == 'E001' ) ) then
        return false
        if ( not ( GetUnitAbilityLevel(GetTriggerUnit(), 'A006') > 0 ) ) then
        return false
        endif
    endif
    return true
endfunction

function Trig_Resurrection_Copy_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    call CustomPolledWait( 4.50 )
    call SelectUnitForPlayerSingle( GetTriggerUnit(), GetOwningPlayer(GetTriggerUnit()) )
endfunction

//===========================================================================
function InitTrig_Resurrection_Copy takes nothing returns nothing
    set gg_trg_Resurrection_Copy = CreateTrigger(  )
    call TriggerRegisterAnyUnitEventBJ( gg_trg_Resurrection_Copy, EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_DEATH )
    call TriggerAddCondition( gg_trg_Resurrection_Copy, Condition( function Trig_Resurrection_Copy_Conditions ) )
    call TriggerAddAction( gg_trg_Resurrection_Copy, function Trig_Resurrection_Copy_Actions )
endfunction

It doesn't work.

I'm still looking forward to GUI answers as well, and this is my current non-working GUI trigger:

• Resurrection
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Fallen Angel
  • Actions
    • Wait 5.50 game-time seconds
    • Selection - Select (Triggering unit) for (Owner of (Triggering unit))

integer comparaison

• (Level of Banish for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1

so basically something like

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Level of Banish for (Triggering unit)) Greater than or equal to 1
      • Then - Actions
        • Wait 5.50 game-time seconds
        • Hero - Instantly revive (Reviving Hero) at (Center of (Playable map area)), Hide revival graphics
      • Else - Actions

with

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins reviving
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Footman
  • Actions
    • Selection - Select (Reviving Hero)

edit: sec i screwed up 2nd trigger

I'm quite sure that when a unit "dies" when it has ressurection, it doesn't count as a death since no exp/gold is recieved, so the "A Unit Dies" event would probably not detect it. You can try to use the event "<Your Unit>'s life becomes less than or equal to 0.4", and select the unit after an amount of time. Still may or may not work, since I didnt test it, but its worth a try. By the way, remember to use the trigger "Selection - Select <unit> for Player"

 

[kirinelf]

But would I have to assign the Hero to a variable? Because the "Unit's Life becomes less than or equal to <Real Number>" event needs me to target a specific unit, and I have a Hero Selection system so he may or may not be on the field.

Yoshii, with yours, should I completely disable the effect of Reincarnation?

ya;with my trigger you should be able to use any skill so using a passive or a skill that does nothing is best
