From what I understand, in the original plan for TFT the crypt lord had some ultimate where he half-burrowed and preformed some ability. Something like it can be seen in the map Tides of Blood: http://www.tidesofblood.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3958 If you use the Crypt Lord Hero's ultimate you will see what I mean. I have been trying to figure out how to do something similar. All the I want is to have it half-burrow like that, and then unburrow on command. So, since it is half way burrowing I don't need it to be invisible. I also don't need it to have any abilities. I just want the most basic possible.

There is this thread here: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...-98/quick-question-burrow-mech-spider-194944/ where defskull posted a helpful map, but it's not quiet the same. I only need the very basic half-burrow, then unburrow.

There is also a map here: http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php/134346-why-the-Burrow-ability-wont-work-in-heroes Where you can see someone else making a worm burrow.

I have looked around google and HW a lot and haven't found too much help.


This is what I have right now:
A modified burrow ability with: the alternate form unit is a crypt lord with 0 movement speed and -200 ocular height
Required animation on regular CL filled with "Morph"
Required animation on burrowed CL filled with "Morph Defend"

But when I use this ability, the burrow animation plays, the crypt lord goes into the ground, and then appears above ground again with it's wings open like it was casting locust swarm. I click unburrow, and it again plays the burrowing animation and then appears above ground as a normal crypt lord.



Thanks for any help.
