Any way to make Storm, Earth, and Fire NOT kill the hero?

08-15-2006, 10:28 PM

We are all aware that when the Panderan Brewmaster uses Storm, Earth, and Fire, he becomes 3 units. If those 3 die, then the Hero dies. Is there any way to prevent this from happening?
Also.
If I save a hero to a variable, remove him, then bring him back again, will the hero be 100% like he was before he was removed? (abilites learned, XP, items, bonuses, etc.) Becuase if so, then I will use this method to stop the ability from killing my hero, should I be unable to cancel the death as stated above.

st33m	Erm, well. I think the way it works is that he IS all 3 units. If they all die he dies. Also, if you save him like that, when would you save him? Right before he dies? Then yes, he would be the same as before that. On the other hand, if you save him before he casts, he would lose all the XP he gained in Storm, Earth, and Fire mode. I think.

Captain Griffen	You could resurrect him if he dies while under the influence. Since the spell cannot be dispelled, I cannot see any problem. PS: Sorry for the appalling word play.

You would have to make it move to where you want the hero to come back. IE at the positon of one of the Pandas.

Tiki	Yes but if they all die, then he will come back at the point of were the target was cast.

You don't seem to understand how handles work. If you remove a hero, he is gone. You can't 'bring him back'.

Wait 1.00 game-time seconds

Custom script: call RemoveLocation(UnitLoc)

Custom script: set udg_Caster = null

Custom script: set UnitLoc= null

Its a guess, but that should work.
