Death system

Hey guys im trying to make a death system kinda like WoW but if your hero dies, a shade spawns where u corpse lays, then you need to get to a graveyard and once your there your shade gets removed then your hero that died gets revived. I got this so far:

Code:

Death
    Events
        Unit - A unit owned by Player 1 (Red) Dies
    Conditions
        ((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
    Actions
        Unit - Create 1 Shade for (Picked player) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
        Cinematic - Fade out over 2.00 seconds using texture Dream and color (18.00%, 0.00%, 50.00%) with 60.00% transparency
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Use brightness Bright and color Simple - Gold and color this text: You have died, get to a graveyard to revie yourself.)

and then this is the revive part:

Code:

Revive
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters Graveyard1 <gen>
    Conditions
        (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Shade
    Actions
        Hero - Instantly revive (Dying unit) at (Center of Graveyard1 <gen>), Show revival graphics
        Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Use brightness Very Bright and color Simple - Gold and color this text: You have been granted another change in life.)

not sure what i need to do.

Ok, I can pick it out right away:
Bold colors should be altered.

Quote:

Death
Events
Unit - A unit - Dies <Change this so any player can have their unit die>
Conditions
((Triggering unit) is A Hero) Equal to True
Actions
Set TriggerDeath[(Player Number of (Triggering Player))] = Dying unit
Unit - Create 1 Shade for (Triggering Player) at (Position of (Dying unit)) facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
Cinematic - Fade out over 2.00 seconds using texture Dream and color (18.00%, 0.00%, 50.00%) with 60.00% transparency
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Use brightness Bright and color Simple - Gold and color this text: A Player has died, revival is possible at a graveyard.)

Quote:

Revive
Events
Unit - A unit enters Graveyard1 <gen>
Conditions
(Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Shade
Actions
Hero - Instantly revive TriggerDeath[(Player Number of (Triggering Player))] at (Center of Graveyard1 <gen>), Show revival graphics
Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Use brightness Very Bright and color Simple - Gold and color this text: A Player has been granted another chance in life.)

I hope that helps, it should work.

Moose-Head_Man	the problem is in the 2nd trigger, you use Dying Unit, when there is no dying unit in the 2nd trigger! you need to set it when a hero dies, to a variable, then in the 2nd trigger do, revive (Variable0

Dead-Inside	Also, you might want to use "(Player(PlayerName)) has died... and has been granted another chance" or something like that. Makes it more personal and more professional looking.

Phyvo	Or you could reduce clutter and just display the text to the player who dies, using "Owner of (Entering Unit)" instead of (All players). I mean, it makes more sense to just tell the person who dies rather then everyone...

What I was going to say.

Also, replace (Triggering Player) with (Owner of (Triggering Unit)). A unit is triggering the trigger, not a player. I've had things not work on me like that.

P.S. Whats that coloring, you using an advanced editor? I always thought |c was easier.
