Arrow Key Problem, Attack Function.

[RazorbladeRay]

Hello.

I'm trying to create a second person camera system + Arrow key movement.
I've been able to create the camera and the arrow movement system to such a level that they are functioning.

The one I'm trying to create now is just an unedited from scratch version which means that it is not a multi-player - yet, (I will edit it later and make it work for multi-player.)

Anyway I've tried with a spell but the arrow key system seems to be blocking out the ordinary attack function which means I'd have to create a spell or use a basic trigger function to make an attack function of my own.

My trigger for it would look like this:

• Attack
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) Equal to Attack (Neutral Hostile)
        • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player001[(Player number of (Owner of (Triggering unit)))]
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Creep001[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
        • Selection - Select Creep001[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))] for Player001[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
        • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units currently selected by (Owner of (Casting unit))) and do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Unit, 5)
            • Custom script: call SetUnitTimeScale(udg_Unit, udg_AnimationSpeed)
            • Sound - Play MetalHeavySliceFlesh1 <gen> at 100.00% volume, attached to (Target unit of ability being cast)
            • Unit - Cause (Casting unit) to damage Creep001[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))], dealing 12.00 damage of attack type Normal and damage type Normal
            • Wait 0.20 seconds
            • Unit - Wake up Creep001[(Player number of (Owner of (Casting unit)))]
      • Else - Actions

If anyone out there would have happened to make this kind of a function please share with me how you did! I would appreciate it.

Thank you!

Could it possibly be made by using a dummy unit? I was thinking something like creating a dummy unit and using it to attack while playing the characters "Attack" animation. Hard to do though. Going to try further.
