Attempting an arcing knockback..

[Cormag]

Ok, so when I use the skill, the unit knocksback all fine, but I want it to fly into the air.

• Knockback
  • Events
    • Unit - Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Knockback
  • Actions
    • Set Caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set Target = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Add Storm Crow Form to Target
    • Unit - Remove Storm Crow Form from Target
    • Trigger - Turn on Skill <gen>
    • Animation - Change Target flying height to 300.00 at 1200.00
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Animation - Change Target flying height to 0.00 at 600.00
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Skill <gen>

I used Paskovich's knockback tutorial for the initial trigger. So, How does this not work? The unit flies into the air, but doesn't have the pathing of a flying unit. I've tried just using the Storm Crow Form, and just normal Crow Form, but nothing happens.. it still collides with cliffs and won't fly up them. Could I remove collision and turn it off before the unit lands so he doesn't get stuck..? I'm confused.

use Turn (off) Pathing for (Unit). (may have a diff name, can't exactly remember it)

Is there any way I can make it fly so I can maybe I can use flying pathing blockers so the units don't get stuck in places?

Yes, replace the unit with the same unit with flying pathing.

Or you could make a dummy unit which is flying and move that and just have the unit folow (via use of triggers and not the patrole order) the dummy unit.

How would I replace the unit with flying pathing? This should work on heroes.. does it? Does it keep their skills and levels and stats, ect.?

Could you show me an example please? :emote_grin:

You were meant to choose option 2.

Moving a dummy unit (no model) with flying pathing and then moving the hero with collison off to its position, unefficent but will treat it as air pathing and will work.

Oh, great! Thanks :emote_grin:
