Help needed with spells!

Hi! i want to make new kind of spells, but i dont know how to do this(maybe i'm just noob :)). Ok! How can i do target cursor, after writing in-game chat name of spell. For example. i type "lighting" and lighting hit the target of my spell. AND i dont want to use the hero ability!

This actually would be pretty hard because you can't target a unit except with a spell. You would have to use a player typed string as an event, but I have no idea what to do for actions.

Thx. :( But can someone tell me how to use a hero ability by trigger?? i cannot find it!

You want to USE an ability? It doesn't matter if it's a hero ability or not, just use this action in the trigger editor:

unit - issue order targeting a point/targeting a unit/with no target

Anitar. That commands will hit a unit/place before chosen. i want to be able to chose where it hits.

I dont really know what u mean but i made an example map for you. I dont know if its right. If you have questions ask them.

Here's my vision:
1. i write -swarm
2. Then the cursor changes into red cross.
3. Target spell.
4. swarm is going out. (without dummies abilities)

BladeKiller. No offence, but firstly targeting unit by using ability of targeting is without sense. i'rather use normal spells.

This might work, but I'm not sure:

Event: A player types -Swarm as an exact match
A unit is selected
Condition: ?maybe make it so it detects the mana of the unit
Action: Create one Caster(dummy unit) for owner of triggering player.
Add Swarm to last created unit
Order last created unit to Dreadlord - Carrion Swarm position of selected unit.


Probably won't work, but give it a shot. I was thinking of making a system like this too. Kind of like Tibia.

dummies are the best way to solve ordered commands, but like Me and another guy (look in the trigger repository forum) and many skills are not found in "order X Unit to XXXXXX the XX"
