Try downloading a similar system and check out it's triggers

 

[00m9]

u see i want to be original, i dont want to steazl other peoples ideas. when i say original i dont mean spell idea, i mean triggers. but the only way to learn i guess is from oter people. ill try your advice.

There's not many ways to make a jump spell..so you'd have to do sumthing thats already been done

 

[BlazeLancer]

Don't you have to add the
"Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to XXX at XXX"
To actually get the unit off the ground?
Think you add it just after the movement trigger turns on

 

[paskovich]

BlazeLancer is right. Also a note: The Crow Form ability remains on the unit for 3 seconds in your trigger... It can be clicked, and the unit will morph into a nice shiny crow. Just add the ability to the unit, then remove it instantly:
event respone-unit casts ability
condition-ability being cast is lunge of faith
action-
add crow form to casting unit
remove crow form from casting unit
turn on <lunge move>
wait:3 seconds
turn off lunge move

And one thing: Do you store the casting unit into a variable?? You MUST store it, and in the periodic trigger, move the stored unit, and not Casting Unit.
Also use Triggering Unit instead of casting unit. It's the same, but better. Trust me!

im trying to polish up my spell making for dark night, im helping create some spells in his map. Its really cool u guys should play it once its finished. Its one of the most original maps ive ever seen, it combines like rpg survival into 1. Pretty cool.

Woops forgot to list the flying height thing in there. Well itsthere ju not in post.
Change units flying height to 700 at rate of 350
then it waits till all the stuff turns off
Change units flying height to 0 at a rate of 350

 

[1)ark_NiTe]

oh dude I had no idea you were asking these questions for my map. There's no need to create abilities without first talking to me about them. I'd like to know your ideas before you start loading them into my map. Lets talk about what you're thinking about creating before you go any further. -NiTe

p.s. thanks for that compliment on my map

 

[HappyTauren]

USE EDIT BUTTON PLEASE!!! DONT DOUBLE/TRIPLE/QUANDUPLE YOUR POST!!!

anyway, i think "crow form" doesnt give you button. its separate ability, that lets you change flying height.

 

[paskovich]

Yes it does! It's an ability that morphs the unit into a flying one.


And for the trigger, i repeat: store the Triggering Unit!!

Jump
Event-Unit casts ability
Condition-Ability being cast is equal to Lunge
Action-
Set Leaper = Triggering Unit
Add crow form to Leaper
Remove crow form from Leaper
Set Leaper's animation speed to 20% of its original speed
Play Leaper's attack animation
Turn on Jump Movement
Wait 4 seconds
Turn off Jump movement

yeah, i found it out, by just doing simple jump trigger... i just forgot that ALMOST all jump abilities use "Unit - Pause unit" function... so nobody sees button!

 

[paskovich]

Well, i don't really recommend pausing the unit, cause it hides the unit's control interface. Periodically moving the unit with 'Set unit's position' almost "pauses" the unit.
