I'm not sure if you want this, but you could try:

• MoveUnits
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Set up your conditions --------
    • -------- You have to add Dark Summoning ability based on channel to your unit --------
    • -------- Channel must be set to point target --------
    • -------- This trigger moves all selected units to target point --------
    • Set TempGroup = (Units currently selected by (Owner of (Triggering unit)))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • -------- First, adding move out special effect --------
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportTo.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • -------- Now, every selected unit will be moved --------
        • Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
        • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to TempPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
        • -------- We could also add move in effect --------
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Picked unit) using Abilities\Spells\Human\MassTeleport\MassTeleportTarget.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup)

looks good, but i need some help making a base spell, now i took ; Channel, but how to modify it

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

My compiler doesn't complain about it. You may copied "Custom script:" into custom script too. Check it

 

[Huntsman]

i got it now, i changed my post hehe, Problem now is when i learn my spell; Channel teleport (just copied channel) it dissapears on my spell log, i cant select it or anything. And it still says; Undclared Variable ; /

You should set these fields:
Art - Duration to 0 (its better to make your own effect, most of the times )
Data - Follow Through Time to 0
Data - Options to Visible
Data - Target Type to Unit or Point target

Other fields are just like ones in standard spells.

alright alright thank you child of bodom for talking me trough this, im almost there, now ingame when i cast channel on a unit, it only teleports my self to the center of playable map area, although i have all ure triggers ,Temppoint etc.
Also, i cant select a area, just 1 unit to cast it on, i think it has to do with my conditions.. or i dont know

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

Replace the event with Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability. It worked for me.

 

[Huntsman]

i did, now when i cast channel it jumps me to the place i picked, i appreciete ure help and i hope u help me to the end

this is what i have. it doesent matter if the condition is abbility=Channel or its Dark summmoning

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

You have to make variables TempGroup and TempPoint in correct case (not temppoint and tempgroup). Also, put Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_TempGroup) after Unit Group functions block else it won't work. And, always clear the point variables right after you use it. So move Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint) just below Move Unit func.

 

[Huntsman]

This is what i have now ,. but im still jumping around like a little ***,

 

[Child_0f_Bodom]

In the second effect, the unit should be Picked Unit, not Triggering Unit.

 

[Huntsman]

doesent matter, i removed the entire second effect, and still it aint working. did u tryed it ureself? ps, check ure PM

Pause unit before move, then unpause. Buggs terribly when unpaused.
