Mind Control

Mind Control

recently i have been attempting to make a temporary mind control spell.... all attempts so far have failed...

one way i tried is to use charm, but it would not a) give a buff b) only be temporary

is there a way i can work around it being permanent or will i have to make a series of triggers?

ps. if this has something similar has already been posted, please tell me

1. Create a useless spell (mind controll)
2. create 2 variables: 1)player (for example: mind_controll_player) 2)Unit (example Mind_ controll_target
3. The trigger:

Trigger
A unit beginns the casting of a spell

condition
ability beiin cast = mind controll

Aktion
Change the owner of (target unit of spell) to owner of (triggering unit) Change color
Set Mind_controll_target = (target unit of spell)
Set Mind_controll_player = owner of (target unit of spell)
Wait "X" Seconds
Change the owner of Mind_controll_target to Mind_controll_player change color
Set Set Mind_controll_target = Nothing
Set Mind_controll_player = nothing

thanx

is there any way for me to have different duration times for different spell levels? eg. lv.1 20secs lv.2 40secs lv.3 indefinatley (?)

Wait "X" Seconds

Just make different triggers for the different levels and make it that when he upgrades the ability level have it stored in an Integer Variable.

Can someone please explain this more exactly?
I don't understand how to make it that a variable grows with an ability-level.
there is no trigger like "if hero raises ability-level"
I really need that spell with more levels, but I don't know how to make it >_<

Thx in advance

@ Ozo2: not a good solution, sry. just use:
wait(arithmetic(convertintegertoreal(level of ability "yourability" for unit casting unit/variablecaster))*e.g.15)

@ JunJee: Ozo2 meant sth. like the following:

event - unit learns ability
   condition - learned ability = "yourability"
   action: set          variable "integervar."  "integervar." + 1

this "integervar" could be used then in the wait action. but use the other solution without an extra var.

@ storm_mage: u should use casting unit instead of triggering unit

Try Raven's Seduce. It kinda does the job and it's good enough. Believe me...

Good enough? *Fakeing Shock* What's wrong with it?

Nothing... I just mentioned that it was good. perhaps I didn't say the best expression. My english is not excellent. Sorry for any incovenience. It was good enough to receive a Director's Award anyway...
