Juxtapose: How Do You Create Images?

What up, dudes? 8) So, I was playing DotA yesterday with Phantom Lancer, and I got interested in the Juxtapose skill. For those of you who don't know how it works, I'll describe it to ya:

Gives a % chance that the Phantom Lancer will create an illusion of himself while attacking. (3%/6%/9%/12% chance)

Can someone give me some tips how to make this spell, cuz I already tried to do something with Order dummy to Human Priest - Inner Fire Attacking Unit, but it didn't work.
( I set the Illusion string to Inner Fire :? .)

make the illusion spell on an item, and give Inventory ( Hero ) to the dummy.

now, create that item for the dummy ( Create Item for Hero ) and order the dummy to use Last Created Item on Attacking Unit ( the unit w/ the abil )

:o Weird... I never thought of that before... anyway, thanks! :D I'll check it out...

There is another thing I have to ask: When I chance the Caster Animation Art of Thunder Clap, it shows nothing. I mean, it shows the original animation, if unchanged, but when I replace it with Special - Naga Building death art, it doesn't appear! Why does that happen? Is it a bug of some sorts?

(Anyway, I found a way to replace this, but I'm still only asking. :oops: )

umm... i dunno

maybe the Special Naga Death Art ( or w/e that big water boom is called ) doesnt have the right attachment points?

Actualy dota took much spells from wc3sear, or used idea's. (The only thing he forgot was to give the people credits :roll: ).

Well the spell u are searching for is based on this Night slayer

hehe.

Man i was pritty suprised when i saw how simple that is. They made an intem with no model that has same attributes as powerups and it creates an illusion. U set event to if unit is attacked, cond. to u know... and finally u set action to create item for attacking unit (item type of illusion summoning power up). It would have much better effect if u would make it create illusions from hero ability than from item ability (though item ability is used in DotA). Simple as that :P

The creators didn't only take the spells from wc3sear.ch, also alot of spells from Wanderers of Sorciera.

And making illusion of self shouldn't be too hard, the way PurpleRoot suggested is ok.

Make it so that you only run the actions if a condition is satisfied. You'll probably want a Condition like "If Math - Random Number from 1 to 10 = 1", then do actions. In this case, your actions will have a 10% chance of occuring.
