[vJASS] Spell - Passively Increase Movement Speed

[Mr_Bean]

Hi guys,

I am making a spell which involves passively increasing the hero's movement speed when the skill is learned. What is the best way to do this? Use a movement speed library?

I tried basing an ability off Item Move Speed Bonus and adding it by code, but as you may know, the ability doesn't stack (so if the unit buys Boots of Speed, there will be an issue).

Any solutions?

Thanks!

What about an aura?

speeds cant pass 522, so it's best to use this http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells-569/movespeedx-gui-v1-0-0-1-a-207607/ will greatly help...

I don't want to increase past 522. I just want to passively increase the hero's movespeed by 10/15/20/25 when they learn the spell.

Engineering Upgrade increase movement speed. So you can do this without any triggers.

Uhm... what is wrong with SetUnitMoveSpeed?

just do:

call SetUnitMoveSpeed(YourUnit, GetUnitMoveSpeed(yourUnit)+bonus*level)

What about making the movement speed ability have 4 levels eh?

Uhm... what is wrong with SetUnitMoveSpeed?

just do:

call SetUnitMoveSpeed(YourUnit, GetUnitMoveSpeed(yourUnit)+bonus*level)

Taht function is buggy as hell with items and bonus auras. Ability solutions are the best in this case.

 

[Mr_Bean]

What is the best best ability then?

 

[Adiktuz]

Try to use the movement speed bonus ability as a base then make it a hero skill with 4 levels...

Or... if you need a buff over it, you can base it on endurance aura, set targets to self only, set the damage rate increase to 0 and edit the aura effects as needed. Voila

Why not Engineering Upgrade?

Why not Engineering Upgrade?

This one can be useful too, there's several options. But the ability usage is the most recommended solution.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Engineering Upgrade is an ability. It is one of the hero abilities of the Goblin Tinker hero.

because he might want to use EU for some other ability of that unit... EU has lots of other uses aside from increasing movespeed so its better to use abilities which only give movement speed bonus rather than wasting the potential of EU...

• EU was already suggested both by DSG and me (REQUIRE NOTHING).
• SetUnitMoveSpeed can work just fine if you increase unit default movement speed (REQUIRE TRIGGER and DUMMY ABILITY ICON).
• Spellbook + Item Movement Speed bonus ability (REQUIRE TRIGGER, 2 ABILITIES and DUMMY ABILITY ICON).
• Anything else is useless really.

Thanks for the help guys. SetUnitMoveSpeed seems to work fine as I am only adjusting base movement speed and it is a permanent bonus.

SOLVED!
