A simple Q

i made a spell, which is casting a Ward with a Roar ability.
The ward must cast it automatically each 5 seconds.

Must i use the event 'unit spawns a summoned unit'? (to refer to the ward)
and which trigger do i use to let the ward cast the CUSTOM Roar ability?

EDIT: I want to ask this to, what is the path name of the Pentagram that is created under the caster and target when you cast 'Dark Summoning'?

If you want to cast a custom roar, you still use the same order: "unit - issue order with no target - order your unit to (Night Elf Druid of the Claw - roar)". It works for the original and all other versions.

To get the roar cast every five seconds, you would need a unit group variable and the following triggers:

Code:
Events:
  generic unit event - a unit spawns a summoned unit
Conditions:
  unit type comparison - unit type of (summoned unit) equal to Roaring ward
Actions:
  unit group - add (summoned unit) to RoarGroup

Code:
Events:
  time - periodic event - every 5 seconds of game time
Conditions:
Actions:
  Pick every unit in RoarGroup and do actions
    loop - actions:
      If - then - else multiple functions:
        if - conditions:
          boolean comparison - (picked unit is alive) equal to true
        then - actions:
          unit - issue order to (picked unit) to (Night Elf Druid of the Claw - Roar)
        else - Actions:
          unit group - remove picked unit from RoarGroup

Yes it will, just change the order string and the abillity.It will work for almost any abillity.
