Joker	How do you control illusions as in the illusions created by Mirror Image? I cant find any functions that allow me to.

Taur	What specifications do you need? Do you need to know which hero summoned it?

Joker	Yes, I need the illusions to form a circle with the summoning hero

MaD[Lion]	Depends when you watn this to happen... all the time circling with the hero or just at the momment after he mirror image? u cant before since the units arent created yet. But u can control any unit including mirror images by ordering them. But if u want them to form a circle then u should instantly move them using SetUnitX and SetUnitY

blu_da_noob	Please be more specific. Tell us exactly what you are trying to do, because mirror image might not even be the best option.

Trigger:

Events

A unit begins casting an ability

Conditions

Ability being cast = Mirror Image

Actions

set TempPoint = Position of Casting Unit/Target Unit of Ability being Cast //whichever you want

Wait .27 secs

Custom Script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true

Pick every unit in (units in (playable map area)) matching condition (Matching unit is An Illusion [[unit state or boolean, forget which]] = true)

Add Picked Unit to Illusion Group

Don't have WE in front of me right now, so I'm trying to remember. Of course tweak it to your needs.

blu_da_noob	What illusions? How do you want them to be created? Are you wanting to mirror image stuff (invulnerability, image spawn) or are you just wanting a circle of images around the caster?

MaD[Lion]	if u just want a circle of images then creating dummy units are easier to manipulate. BTw off topic: As i was thinking, enemies see mirror images with normal color, and allies see with blue tinted. Is it possible to do this effect with trigger using LocalPLayer without causing serversplit?

MaD[Lion]	wicked :D Ive not tested stuff with localplayer much. How do i know which functions i can perform without serversplit?

Alevice	Those that don't affect gameplay mechanics, for the most part, those that are just visual in nature.
