How to make a unit fly?

[NoNZealot]

Hello, I want to know how to make a unit fly while a person casts a spell. It has to do with crow form or something but how exactly? At the end of the spell, the unit must land.

PS: I think I've posted this in the wrong thread. Could someone (if i posted wrong) move this?

well it depends on if you have only one unit that should be flying or more then one, i have a solution for one unit:

store the unit in a variable, i called it <flyer> and create a unit which is excactly the same as the flyer, but change its movement type to flying and set a flying height

• Events
  • a unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • ability equal to <your ability>
• Actions
  • replace <flyer> with <changed unit>
  • set <flyer> = last created unit

• Events
  • a Unit stops casting an ability (or ends the effect of an ability, not quite sure)
• Conditions
  • ability being cast equal to your ability
  • replace <flyer> with <unchanged unit>
  • set <flyer> last created Unit

is not MUI

if you have more then one unit don't use the variables, but pick every unit of type ... and do replace action instead

Give the unit that is going to fly the Crow Form ability and then remove it. Use the "Animation - Change (unit)'s flying height to (height) at (rate)" action to change its flying height. However, make sure the Crow Form ability is removed. You dont want your unit to transform into a Storm Crow for no reason.

To return the unit to its initial flying height, use the "Animation - Change (unit)'s flying height to (height) at (rate)" action again. Put height to 0, assuming that it is a land unit.

And make sure to remove the tech-tree requirements. It wont work unless you do. I didnt figure out what I was doing wrong for a long time when I was trying to make a jump trigger.
