revive ability

[Aslit]

i was looking a way to make an ability that target a unit and revive it in the place i targeted it under the control of the player that own that unit (like a resser in wow)

 

[Lordthom]

okay, i try something

 

[Chewii]

Just do like this

• Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Revive
• Actions
  • Hero - Instantly revive (Target unit of ability being cast) at (Position of (Casting unit)), Show revival graphics

And the ability base it on holy light then you do targets allowed(air ground freind dead)

This is like a resser in wow

i tried something but i cant target the dead unit, and it is only for hero's.

Well, you can make a Channel-based ability, which will not actually target a unit, but it will revive a unit in a small radius of the spell's target location, since dead units cannot be targeted.

• Trigger
• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Revive
• Actions
  • Set Point1 = (Target point of ability being cast)
  • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
  • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 1 units from (Units within 128.00 of (Point1) matching (((Matching unit) is dead) Equal to True) and ((Matching unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to True and do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Set Point2 = (Position of (Picked unit))
      • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Picked unit)) for (Owner of (Picked unit)) at Point2 facing default building degrees
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point2)
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Point1)

you cant target a corpse when its dead so u need to make a grave or something if the unit dies so you can target that

 

[Chewii]

yupp as pharaoh said you need a small radius sry for the other post. I didn't test the trigger^^

But he wanted the ressing unit to spawn next to the caster mb set point 2 position of caster?

or you can create new unit, grave to possition of dying hero

now you can use res spell on the grave, and have trigger like when that is cast on that then create hero[playernumberofthat] to position of that.

i tried

• Events
• unit start the efect of an ability
• Conditions
• ability equals to revive
• Actions
• instantly revive hero (target of ability being cast) at (point of an ability being cast)

using flamestrike as base, but it doenst work


i see paraho's trigger but i think it woudnt bringn the hero with it's level an abilities back, and the owner of the hero might resurrect it on his altar or whatever having other unit more :S

And why didn't you follow the trigger I suggested?
You can't have both Target Unit of Ability being cast and Target point of ability being cast at the same time. The Flame Strike is a point-target ability, so it will respond to a point of ability being cast event. If you had a Lightning Strike spell for example, that would get a Target unit of ability being cast event response.

cuz as i said, ur trigger would created a new unit without the lvl and abilities of the revived hero, plus the owner of the unit would still be able of ressurecting the hero via clasic way, so there would be 2 heroes.
This is the only thing that last for the map.

 

[Super-Sheep]

use revive hero action :l

e: with pharaoh's method

 

[Aslit]

i tried, it doesnt work :S

 

[Chewii]

you mb can use hashtabels and save the dying unit?

 

[skamigo]

i tried, it doesnt work :S

post the trigger so we can check for any mistakes you might've made

I invented following system long ago, and using it in my ORPG:
When hero dies, he becomes being stored in variable and dying location goes to variables as well. Grave is spawned there. Grave is invulnerable and can be target of some Resurrection spell. After doing that, use 'remove grave from the game' and 'revive (previously stored hero) at (previously stored location)'. Prob could be hard to understand, but fairly easy to use. Ask if you need more exact trigger. Dont forget about clearing leaks!

Bonus suggestion: Also, in my ORPG, grave has the ability which allows the dead hero instantly respawn at the city. Use it.

>Actually, dead units can be targeted if you have a special unit created when that unit dies, and have that spec unit controlled by the player who lost the unit, with a >custom value on the unit set for the unit type to be rezed.
I/E: If Unit type of dying unit is equal to:____ - set custom value of unit type:____ within:____ distance of dying unit to:_____
NOTE: unit custom values are sorted as variables in the map editor!!!
>Then just have the spell only target that specific unit type or have that unit type set as "ward" and have the spell target "wards"
>Then you would have to use more triggers like what i am showing:
I/E: Unit casts spell - Spell type equal to:____ - If custom value of targeted unit is equal to:[number value] - Create unit of type:____ for player:[owner of spell target]
>Repeat as necessary and enjoy!!!

could be, x-hero die, create grave1, destroy grave1, resurrect x-hero ?
