Is there any way to give an illusion or mirror image the same abilties as the Hero that it was spawned from? I need to create an illusion that takes triple damage; but is otherwise exactly the same as the summoner. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Illusions/images CAN'T cast spells no matter what, so I suggest using storm earth and fire or metamorph as a base.

Then comes the problem of making the new unit take three times normal damage. I've tried just making another csting unit and leveling it and such, but then it doesn't take the damage...

make a spell based on berserk , force the illusions to cast it

That's a good idea, Lord Vexorian. Thanks! Now, how do get it so when you create a new Hero, that the little icon on the side of the screen doesn't show up and it doesn't say "Our Hero has fallen" when it dies?

make the illusions other hero types and remove their Show Icon field, then make it so when they die you give them to neutral passive or remove them.

Or make them units and increase their stats with bonus mode

I thought about doing that, but I was hoping I could make it so any Hero could use it just by moving the triggers for the spell into another map and allow you to give the ability to different types of Heroes withpout object editing, but if there's no way to do so, I'll do it that way. I'd give you rep, but it says I have to spread it around more and I can't test your map again until you come out with a new version, so I'll just have to say thank you.
