[General] Flying Height Rate questions

[jonhysone]

in this trigger:

• Animation - Change Noob Unit flying height to 400 at 0 rate

I know that 0 rate means that the flying height will immediately change
But If I make a bigger number what happens? How can I calculate it?
And What about putting a negative number?
What does rate refer to ? And how is it calculated? And What is it's relationship with flying hate ?!

Thank you

It is units per second last I tried. So 100 would mean a change of 400 units takes 4 seconds. A change from 300 to 400 will only take 1 second as that is a change of 100 units.

^ Confirmed. The rate is X units per sec.

Negative numbers do not have any effect (they don't change the unit's flying height at all).

Sorry but what is the relationship of these units with the flying height of 1 unit ? I didn't understand :S

How far can a siege weapon fire, normally? 1000/1150 units. The word 'unit' does not always point to what's a unit in WarCraft. How about units of measurement?

It's the unit of distance in warcraft 3.
All magic casters got 600 range. That's nearly the half of a siege weapon.
A ranged dps has around 450-550.
Tower around 700.
