[General] Custom Ability to Teleport on a unit

[halleylight]

Hi everyone !

The title says itself. I want to create a custom item that functions like Boots of Travel in DotA. It makes the user being able to target either an organic unit, a building or the ground as the teleport destination, and the teleportation only affects the user, not an area of nearby units. Can anyone tell me how to make this happen ?

Thank you very much !

Read this first.

So... like Blink, but then with a unit-target as well? You could use "Channel" (Neutral Hostile/Hero) as a base ability. In Data - Options, check "Visible"; Data - Target Type should be "Unit and point target"; Data - Disable other abilities should usually be false; Stats - Target Allowed is Ground/Organic (maybe?).
A teleportation-trigger is very simple, but I'm just going to wait for further information first.

Thanks for replying !

I thought I explained everything there, but if there's something unclear for you, I can explain again.

This ability only does one thing, which is to teleport the user to a position he/she clicks at. The way it functions should be exactly like normal scrolls of town portal, only with more targets allowed (organic units + buildings + ground instead of just Town Hall) and the ability only teleports the user, not any nearby friendly units.

I hope this is a bit more specific and can help you understand what I was trying to make. I will try to base the ability on Channel, but I'm still not sure about how to write a teleportation trigger. Can you show me an example ?

Thanks in advance !

Use Mass Teleport and set the Number of Units Teleported to 0. That way, only the caster is teleported and no need for Teleportation triggers.

Edit: And by the way, I didn't know Boots of Travel can target plain empty ground. In that case, set the Targets Allowed to Terrain. I think that fixes that.

1 more thing is taht the skill wont interupt the movement or action of the target that it cast on (meaning when u target the tower, the tower will continue what it is doing, not like the Scroll of Town Portal.). I cant figure out how to do it to help him >.<.

Oops forgot that. It's one thing that DotA doesn't fix either. Once you travel to an ally the ally will stop until killed by the enemy.
Just use timer to pause and unpause unit while casting(or set Casting Delay to 0.01 to have no pause at all)

Casting Delay is just above the number of units teleported.

Uninterrupted teleporting needs to be done through triggers.
You can do normal teleport to any unit/structure though.

Thank you all for suggestions ! Somehow I got the ability to work just fine by creating a custom trigger for teleportation. ^^
