Flying Height

[GIMLI_2]

Hi guys,

I've got a problem with changing the flying height via trigger.
You should know that the unit is basicly flying (no need to add Storm Crow ability) and i'm using Bribe's Unit Indexer.
The ability should work like that: The casting unit (flying) drops a bomb (dummy/flying) that falls down and explodes on the ground. But the flying height stays the same :/

    • Set ExplosiveBarrels_Unit = (Last created unit)
    • Set ExplosiveBarrels_Index = (Custom value of ExplosiveBarrels_Unit)
    • Set ExplosiveBarrels_Height[ExplosiveBarrels_Index] = 230.00
    • Unit Group - Add ExplosiveBarrels_Unit to ExplosiveBarrels_Group
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_ExplosiveBarrels_Point)

        • Set ExplosiveBarrels_Height[ExplosiveBarrels_Index] = (ExplosiveBarrels_Height[ExplosiveBarrels_Index] - 3.00)
        • Animation - Change ExplosiveBarrels_Unit flying height to ExplosiveBarrels_Height[ExplosiveBarrels_Index] at 0.00
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • 'IF'-Conditions

The trigger seems to be ok. What happens if you modify the flying heigh of a unit of that type with another trigger? Are you sure the movement type is fly?

You could post the map.

By the way, you might not need the looping trigger. Set the flying height to 230 at 0, then to 0 at 60. The 60 comes from 3/0.05. And give the unit 230/60 = 3,83 second expiration timer.

What actually happens when you run the trigger?

check the dummy's minimum height...

• Animation - Change ExplosiveBarrels_Unit flying height to ExplosiveBarrels_Height[ExplosiveBarrels_Index] at 0.00

Make rate = 300 or sth.

Do you use something with Aloc or similiar methodes to make barrel unselectable?.. This would make barrel unpickable... and nothing would happen in your periodic event

He adds the units to the group manually through "Unit Group - Add unit", so 'Aloc' shouldn't matter.

Yes you're right it doesnt matter.. my fault

But now i think you've just forgotten to set custom value of barrel after creation?
