Does anyone know why this abilty wont spawn units, It does not show any errors problem is somewhere here...

function spawn( keys )

local caster = keys.caster

local spellName = keys.SpellName

Timers:CreateTimer(5, function() if caster:HasAbility(spawner7) then local unit = CreateUnitByName("miligun", position, true, caster , caster , caster:GetTeamNumber()) end return 1.0
end) end

DankBud

you must be getting errors with that code. spawner7 is undefined, it needs to be a string.

caster:HasAbility("spawner7") 

position is also undefined.

you should really read the tutorials https://moddota.com/forums/discussion/135/beginners-guide-to-dota-scripting

I read that many times look:

function spfootman( event )

local target = event.target

local spellName = event.SpellName

local repeat_interval = 2 -- Rerun this timer every *repeat_interval* game-time seconds

local start_after = 1 -- Start this timer *start_after* game-time seconds later


    --if    target:HasAbility(spellName) then
    Timers:CreateTimer(start_after, function()
    SpawnCreeps()
    return repeat_interval
end)
--end

end

function SpawnCreeps()

    local point = Entities:FindByName( nil, "spawner22"):GetAbsOrigin()
    local unit = CreateUnitByName("footman", point, true, nil, nil, DOTA_TEAM_NEUTRALS)
end     

this is working normaly, but if i remove '--' on 'if' and 'end' as u can see then it wont work and yeah i did define ability ;

"RunScript"

{ "ScriptFile" "spawn_footman.lua" "Function" "spfootman" "SpellName" "spawn_footman" }
