z3ryu	Hi all! I have the following GUI related Questions: 1.I i use the "Damage Area" Trigger it also damages my own hero,allys and buildings. Can I avoid this? 2. I want an activatable Spell that activates Unholy Frenzy on the casting hero,so i create a trigger that creates a dummy unit. Now how can I order the unit to use the spell on my hero?

CommanderZ	1. I think you will have to use pick every unit in range... and add some conditions to the mix. 2. Use "Unit - Issue order targeting a unit" and choose Necromancer - Unholy Frenzy from the list.

z3ryu	To 1. I mean not the area but that it damage myself. It should only damage enemy heros/units to 2.: The problem is that i want a stronger one that i made myself =/

To 1. Damage Area deals damage to all units it ignores the owner, type, etc. you have to pick all unit in range and let the caster/hero/or whatever deal the damage to the picked unit.
To 2. Create the dummy unit and then order the last created unit to cast Necromancer - Unholy Frenzy on the casting unit (in this case the hero) and if you want to make a stronger just change the ability, don't really get what's your problem with this.

1st Trigger Example:

Actions

-------- or set it = the position of the trigger unit, but don't forget to clean up --------

Custom script: call MoveLocation(udg_tmp_point,GetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit()),GetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit()))

Set tmp_grp = (Units within 100.00 of tmp_point matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) equal True))

Unit group - Pick every unit in tmp_grp and do (Actions)

Loop - Actions

Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Picked unit), dealing 500.00 damage of attack type Spell and damage type Normal

Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_tmp_grp)

Actually, just Unit - Order unit to cast Necromancer - Unholy Frenzy at target
As long as you dont have two spells based on Unholy Frenzy on casting unit, you should be fine, IE: Summoner, in this map, most of the spells have the same base and it is very unpredictable when you summon...

z3ryu	Yeah but i want it to have have 4 levels and every level the dummy should cast a stronger buff

Captain Griffen	Just set the level of the ability for the dummy unit before ordering it to cast...

CommanderZ	The "Necromancer - Unholy Frenzy" simply sends textual order "unholyfrenzy" to the unit. The unit will attempt to cast ANY skill with that order string.

Dil999	People really need to take a look at triggers before asking a question :P

Hydrolisk	Necromancer - Unholy Frenzy represents "unholyfrenzy," the spell string/order ID. Set the level of your custom ability then order it to cast blahblah ID. KK?kk.
