Bladestorm Fix or Improve

[xyzier_24]

Hi guys. I'm trying to make a Bladestorm for those people who are dreaming of making their unit spin similar to a Blademaster's animation. But I'm having a problem with it. Whenever I set the BS_Speed variable to more than 6.00, the spin looks weird that sometimes the caster reverse-rotates for a short time and the speed doesn't really increase its spin speed. Also, help me improve this spell for those who wants to. Thanks

There's a hardcoded limit to how fast a unit can change its facing angle. The only way to my knowledge to bypass this limit is remove and recreate the unit. But I understand that's painful.

You may try to use the action Animation - Change Unit Turn Speed. That should help if you set it to 0.10 for example.

The spin looks fine up to 6.00 speed.

I think it's not good to create a unit every 0.02/0.03 secs.

Tried doing it, still the same tho
