for some reason the flying height wont change, can anyone propose why?

 

[Just_Spectating]

Crow Form not Storm Crow Form. i think theres a difference.

 

[PrisonLove]

it doesnt make a difference, i just tested it. any other reason this wouldnt work?

 

[Just_Spectating]

its not casting the right ability? or the ability never gets finished casted?

 

[YO_MA_MA]

try "begins the effect of an ability"

EDIT: "Starts the effect of an ability" i was close (wasnt looking). thanks Just_Spectating

 

[Just_Spectating]

"Starts the effect of an ability"

 

[Newuser]

"Finishes casting an ability" only works on things such as channeling spells, spells have an actual casting time or lag time(flame strike, blink, and maybe wind walk), otherwise it doesn't detect the spell.

 

[Zack1996]

I thought you need to remove crow form/storm crow form for it to work.
And finishes casting an ability sucks, barely works.

 

[Need_O2]

You dont even need Crow Form if units moment type is flying

 

[redscores]

Maybe because you set the flying height to 0 at 500, change the 0 to 500.

 

[Avator]

The 'nuke dummy unit' needs to have movement type Flying and a minimum movement speed of 1.

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the

• Unit - Add Storm Crow Form to (Last created unit)

command only causes the unit to have the ability available for use. If you want to give any purpose to that command, you need to create a

• Unit - Issue Order ...'

to activate the Storm Crow Form ability.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Avator, what you said makes no sense and is not true. You do not need the nuke dummy to have flying movement type, neithor does it have to have a minimum speed of 1. Also you have to add and remove the ability for the trick to work, not issue any orders.

You have to add and remove the crow form ability and then change the flying height.

Also note that you are moving it from its current height to a height of 0 at the rate of 500 Z units a second. Thus if it's height is 0 it will not appear to move.

 

[Avator]

That's pretty strange, because my units can only change flying height when they have movement type Flying, have 1 or more movement speed and a trigger or ability forces them to change flying height.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Then obviously you are not using the trick correctly. It is a tried and tested fool proof way, read the tutorial about it somewhere on this site.

 

[Avator]

I've read the tutorial. And my trick works just as good as yours. You get the same results with the same effort.

I don't really get the point of this discussion if they both work fine. And yes, they both do.

 

[Dr Super Good]

Well, next to your trick means the unit can walk over barriers while the normal one retains the unit's pathing while making it look like it is flying.

Also if the movement type is flying, the unit automatically can change height without any trick.

 

[Avator]

It's a dummy unit for 2 seconds to activate 1 ability. What do you think people can do with that? Cause oblivion?
And if I'm not mistaken, a flying unit is supposed to walk over barriers. Both can be used in this case. In some cases you can only use your suggestion, and in some cases, you can only use mine.

So to me this is just a big discussion about nearly nothing.
