Im am creating a spell called Invisibility totem. It is a 15 level hero spell. What it does is creates a ward like unit on the ground that will cast invisibility on friendly units nearby. The order in which it casts invisibilty on units around the totem should not be random but go in the order of 1. Hero 2. Unit 3. Summon I dont know where to begin on this trigger because all my attempts have been to no avail. |

Create a trigger that picks every unit belonging to the caster and add them to a unit group. Then do another action the picks every unit in that unit group matching the condition that it is a Hero and cast invisibility on it. Then remove the unit from the unit group. Next do the same as above except after the condition should be is a Hero equal to false. Underneath this, make an If\Then\Else with a condition of "Is summoned equal to false" and then do the same actions. Finally, just selsct every unit remaining in the group (as you should have removed the other ones by now) and cast invisiblilty on them. Hope this helps! |

why not just give i an auto casting spell??? so it just casts it? keep it simple.. you can make a dummy autocast spell and then use a trigger to support the spell... like unit gets targeted with a spell. give casting unit invisibility, make casting unit cast inivisbility on targeted unit, then remove the ability... |

I hope you will understand this. I don't know for sure you can check if a unit is summoned, but you can always make a workaround for that. It should look like this. Trigger 1 Code:
Events: A unit enters playable map area Conditions: Unit type of entering unit equals to <your unit> Actions: Run <trigger 2> ignoring conditions Trigger 2 Code:
Events: A unit finishes casting an ability Conditions: Unit type of casting unit equals to <your unit> Actions: Add units within 600 range of casting unit matching unit is a hero equal to true and unit belongs to an ally of owner of casting unit equals to true to temp_group<a group variable> If the number of units in temp_group equals then 0 then do actions: Add units within 600 range of casting unit matching unit is a summoned unit equal to false and unit belongs to an ally of owner of casting unit equals to true to temp_group<a group variable> Else do nothing If the number of units in temp_group equals then 0 then do actions: Add units within 600 range of casting unit matching unit is a summoned unit equal to true and unit belongs to an ally of owner of casting unit equals to true to temp_group<a group variable> Else do nothing Order casting unit to night elf- feary fire random unit form temp_group. |

i think your going for a bit of an overkill... making it to complex... who care is it select hero or what ever. |

kamux: i tested your code and it worked for the heroes, then i hit a glitch, it wouldnt cast on anything but the heroes. however, i didnt have time to totally check it, and i think i might have copied it across badly. it seemed to work pretty well tho, ill test it more tonight.lookin good |
