Charge Ability help

[PajdomanMokri]

I need an ability that would target a unit, then the caster would get 522 movement speed and charge into the target. Upon impact, all enemies surrounding the caster would get a debuff that makes them miss attacks.

If you tried to make the ability and it didn't work, please show us the triggers so we can see where did you go wrong. If you wan't someone to make the ability for you, make a request at the request section. If you have no exp at custom spells, see some tutrials on this site.

I created my own charge spell, though it doesn't place the debuff on nearby enemies and is not MUI. But it should be easy enough to add those effects there yourself

Click

• Charge Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Your_Ability
  • Actions
    • -------- set up variables --------
    • Set Caster = Blademaster 0002 <gen>
    • Set TargetPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Unit - Make Caster face TargetPoint over 0.00 seconds
    • Unit - Pause Caster
    • Animation - Change Caster's animation speed to 150.00% of its original speed
    • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
    • -------- a custom script, the number there is the index number of "walk" animation (this differs per unit) --------
    • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster, 6)
    • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
    • Trigger - Turn on Charge Loop <gen>

"Caster" is a unit variable
"TargetPoint" is point variable

A very important part is the "call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_Caster, 6)" custom script. Through this script I play "walk" animation, so the caster runs when he charges. The number 6 is index number of "walk" animation, however that is for Blademaster unit... walk animation of other units may have different index number. If more than 1 model uses this spell, then you will need an If/Then/Else.

And this other trigger which periodically moves the Caster unit.

• Charge Loop
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time

        • -------- It is not close enough, so we offset caster a little bit towards TargetPoint --------
        • Set p2 = (p1 offset by 10.44 towards (Angle from p1 to TargetPoint) degrees)
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------

        • -------- We find X and Y coordiantes of p2 --------
        • Set x = (X of p2)
        • Set y = (Y of p2)
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- This moves the caster, it moves Caster through any pathing, so you will "run" up/down cliffs, over deep water, etc. but you will also not be blocked by other units --------

        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- We find X and Y coordinates of TargetPoint and move Caster there --------
        • Set x = (X of TargetPoint)
        • Set y = (Y of TargetPoint)
        • Custom script: call SetUnitX( udg_Caster, udg_x)

        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------

        • Animation - Reset Caster's animation
        • Animation - Change Caster's animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at TargetPoint using Abilities\Spells\Human\Thunderclap\ThunderClapCaster.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- Stops Caster to null his current order and unpauses him --------
        • Unit - Order Caster to Stop
        • Unit - Unpause Caster
        • Set Caster = No unit
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- ------------------------------------------------------- --------
        • -------- Removes leaks --------
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TargetPoint)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p1)
        • Set Caster = No unit

We move Caster by 11.44 every 0,02 second, which is effectively 522 every second, so the movement speed should be correct.

x and y are real variables, p1 and p2 are point variables.

Thank you for help, I made the spell, added debuff and triggered it.
