i can't firespreadunit_1 it doesn't give me that option

sounds like you want create an item that already exist, why dont you just use the fireburn item ability? o_O

Why don't you just base your item on cloak of flames?

i agree to the posts above, use the item-immoultion ability, but if you really wanna do like that you'll have to add the event through actions

there is a action, under the trigger section i think, which will allow you to add a event with (in this case) unit vars.

nope you see i don't want the green fire.... i want the model fire (the doodad) which i've already triggered and works fine.... now i want the immotion type effect or buff

You can modify the immolation ability (or the buff) to not show the green fire. Just change the art in the object editor. Then you can use what you have already triggered, and for the damage, just use the item ability with no art.

hey i haven't been around lately but thanks a ton... and i would give rep but apparantly the features are gone =x?

i will post as soon as i try it out

nope.. not working. I deleted my triggers and made Fire Shield (the spell) into an item ability made it only 1 level and made new buffs

fire shield (for illmoltion)
fire shield caster (for illmoltion caster)

then i went to fire orb (the item i want to use the ability with) and added fire shield (the spell) as an ability to fire orb. Now what i want to happen is for the art to appear on my caster. (I changed the Buff's art to:

Art-Target Fire &lt;Base&gt;

)

Why does this not work? =(
