Hi everyone,
I am trying to figure out the best way to make a leakless ability for the Cloud Portals (a flying unit, to be clear) in my map.
The idea is to have an ability that ultimately allows the Cloud Portal to escort one's units/army from one location to another, with a single use of an ability, using a combo of the strings from Farsight, Blink, and Dark Summoning, or just the strings from Blink and Dark Summoning.
The way it would work: Cloud Portal is hovering over your army that is in danger of being wiped out, then player uses either Farsight on some far off location, then the Cloud Portal automatically blinks there, then uses Dark Summoning on the army. Alternately I would settle for just linking up Blink and Dark Summoning to keep it simple.
What would be the best way to pull this off?
So far the only way I can think of is to have a trigger that detects whenever any Cloud Portal is selected and link its location with a variable, then have a trigger to detect whenever a Cloud Portal uses Blink, and then have it Dark Summoning the variable, so then you would have to position correctly. Is there a better way of doing this?
Any ideas are appreciated, thanks.
