[Solved] Ground Attack

[sentrywiz]

I need help about this idea. I have an air unit and I want on cast on a no target, no area spell (like Berserk) to drop a bomb beneath it.

It doesn't have to simulate the drop of the bomb, just an explosion effect would be good. But I am not sure how triggers will do that. So let's say the unit has a flying height of 300. The explosion effect would need to appear on a point same as the flying unit, only -300 height.

Just create a dummy unit at the (Triggering unit)'s position, give it the current flying height of the Triggering unit and fire a trigger that will be decreasing the height of the dummy. When the height reaches an amount (HeightIncrement <= 0), then create the special effect of the explosion at the point it landed.

Hm, that would be a great dummy bomb unit.

What about just an explosion, can you let's say:

Point - Position of Triggering Unit (will that be at 0 height or 300 height) ?

Hope this helps

You could have just said yes lol

With that being said, you did go through some trouble to make this (not really, but let's say you did )

Thanks, that solves the question. Even though I wouldn't use the Fan of Knives, I'd just make it Mine Explodes, that way when it dies it explodes, both removing itself from the map and dealing the damage.
