I want to create a forester in my map; and because of that I need to know if it's possible to make an ability which makes that a forester plants trees...like the worker who cut the trees...and get wood

Hmmmph..... I did this one quickly:

Trigger:

Forester

Events

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equals to Ability

Actions

Destructible - Resurrect (Target destructible of ability being cast) with (Max life of (Last created destructible)) life and Show birth animation

That will only work with a single tree. Also, don't forget to put your dummy ability instead of "Ability".

Murder1833	This will work on any destructable tho, you'd have to make it not do that. And when he said plant trees, I thought he meant create new ones. If that is the case, you'd have to make it target a point and create a tree with birth animations bla bla bla u get my point eh? If not I shall make it for you! Mwahahahahahhaha!!! cough, choke, die

Time_Waster	Hm well I mean that the forester "plant" (make new) trees in a area and get wood for doing that...Is this clear? And I'm sorry but what is a "dummy" skill

A dummy skill is a skill that does absolutely nothing. It's simply a placeholder. When the unit uses this ability, a trigger is called to produce the effect.

Trigger:

Forester

Events

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

Conditions

(Ability being cast) Equals to Ability

Actions

Destructible - Create a Summer Tree Wall at (Target point of ability being cast) facing (Random angle) with scale 1.00 and variation 0

That should do...

Don't forget to put your dummy skill instead of Ability!

Blade.dk	I think it would be better to use a unit starts the effects of an ability, the other event can be abused.

Time_Waster	Ähm sorry but do you know a dummy skill, which I can change?

You can almost use any ground-targeting abilities as a dummy for this spell (like shockwave but remember to set 0 to damage, and remove the sp.effect)

Another thing to think about is how the unit is going to use this skill. A harves wod ability is automated, while this skill would have to be used over and over again by the player.

What you need is a trigger that makes the unit cast the ability again with a random offset when the cooldown is done. This can easy be made by adding a "wait" equal to the cooldown and the issue an order to do that again....(ohh...and you need to loop the prosses)

Time_Waster	Thanks , but are you able to change the Trigger ? Sothat it does what you mean?
