How do I make the duration of the Ghost's Cloaking duration time dependent instead of energy dependent?
Desired result: User press cloak button, Ghost cloaks. After Cloaking the ability does not drain energy, but once 15 seconds have passed the ghost decloaks.
This is just my opinion on Dead Eye's powers when I played through on easy and normal.
Dead Eye power break down:
Glaives: Great at the beginning for its AoE and Damage. Around wave 6 players will be able to deal more damage with their basic attack then with the glaive unless they put a lot of cash into upgrading it.
TNC: Not really worth using since the shot causes him to stop attacking for a small amount of time as he aims. When I am dealing over 500*2*3 (damage, number of attacks, number of targets) damage per basic attack, I find the pause to be really noticeable.
Phase Shift: Amazing, it is an escape and a damage buff. If a player focuses on basic attacks and maxing phase shift's buff duration amazing things can happen. Players should be able to handle most waves single handily since they will be dealing an additional 200 damage to their base damage. This power is what I often base build on, and I find the safest in pub games.
Repulsion Emitter: This is one of reason I started picking Dead Eye; in order to prevent people from using this power. I could see it being this being useful on harder difficulties since it would grant players breathing space. In pub games I find this to be rather disruptive to the gameplay and to my sense. The knockback makes targeting with AoEs much harder, since targets move around significantly when this is active. The sound and the visual effect are aversive due to their brightness and volume.
I find Dead Eye to be a really fun character for his damage output, maneuverability and griefing powers. Phase shift is great for bonus damage and the ability escape/steal depending on the situation. He levels rather well when players focus on buffing the basic attack and phase shift.
Description:
Any time I use the listed code below, the most recently created unit in a unit group (such as Lairs) that the code applies to spawns a unit that just stands there.
Desire result:
All units that are spawned would follow orders.
Example
1 lair. every 15 seconds it spawns an infestor that just stand there.
2 lairs. each spawn an infestor, but the most recently placed lair on the map spawns an infestor that just stand there.
Notes:
Location of the pointer does not seem effect unit movement behavior. I can place it right next to the building and the unit still won't move.
Unit spawned does not seem effect unit movement behavior.
Spawn point does not seem effect unit movement behavior.

Thank you fr0d0b0ls0n and Yaos01 you both helped me get this power working. I am listing below what I did just to clarify.
All of these changes were done to the behavior under the behavior tab.
1. Added a duration to the behavior by setting the duration 15
Stats - Duration 15.0000
2. Removed the energy drain by changing the Energy regeneration bonus under unit in the Behavior - Modification field.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
