after trail

[Cup2fun]

Can anyone tell me how to make an after trail for a unit? like i have a charge ability and i would like to know how to make an after trail as it is moving.

Work a little bit on your question, please (it wouldn't hurt to take a screenshot of how you would like it, or a little drawing, or describe it more precisely).

Trigger

• Trail
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.20 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of [Unit with Trail])
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TempLoc using [Special Effect]
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)

Of course, the time event can be different for several special effects, the bigger the special effect (e.g.: war stomp), the higher the time will be.
Probably "Mirror Image" would be a good option

When the ability is cast, turn on this trigger, when the ability ends, turn it off.

There you go, this is the result:

well i was working on footprint manipulation but it's a pain to edit and nobody else who is more expert in that sort of thing is really interested in it...i've had a lot of jass learning to do too, i still have a long way to go in that so i have considered that to be a minor thing. i was indeed trying eventually to do something like what you're trying to do. if i ever figure it out, i'll let you know. you can pm me or post here if you want me to try to get you some notes on some stuff i found out about it. you could also do search on the forum or google for "footprint manipulation" and look for my posts.

i might be wrong though, you might be talking about something else, but i think that's what you meant...
