i understand adding crow form will enable a unit to be able tochange its flying height. Ive tried alot of things and i cant get a decent jump spell. Im trying to get a unit to jump to an area and i mid air do attack animation but slowly so it plays animation over the jump period. I cant figure out how to do this some1 please help? :witch_doc_sad:

Hmm, if it's the animation that's getting to you, just play the animation from the start of the jump, while using the command

Animation - Set (unit) Animation Speed to (percent)

to have the animation play in a correct time frame (which, of course, you will have to determine, and set (percent) accordingly, remembering that 100% is normal.)

There is no real need to add crow form, you just have to make the unit flyable in order to move it up and down, moving it up and down can be done with an action called

"Animation - Change Unit Flying height"

Sry, but you're wrong. If you want to change the unit's fly height with that function (action), the unit must be a flying one. Ground unit's fly height cannot be changed, unless you give them the Crow Form ability. But due to a bug (or i don't know why), the effect of giving the unit the ability stil remains after you remove ability.
Add Crow Form to [unit]
Remove Crow Form from [unit]
If you include this in the trigger, a ground unit's fly height can be changed.

Hey um, doesn't hover count for flying height?

BTW: Your spell packs glitch and I can't open them...
Click to expand...
A hovering unit is just above the ground, but cannot fly through trees and such. It's not the same.
My spell packs at wc3search? The whole system is down now, read the news. None of the spells can be downloaded...


pandamana, here is how i trigger my "jump-like" spells (only the movement trigger):
Event - Every 0.1 seconds
Action -
If (Flying height of UnitVar) is less than 500
-Set UnitVar's fly height to (Flying height of UnitVar)+10
Else
-Set UnitVar's fly height to (Flying height of UnitVar)-10
--If (Flying height of UnitVar) is less than (Default Flying height of UnitVar)
---Set UnitVar's fly height to (Default Flying height of UnitVar)
Set UnitVar's position to blahblah...
...
Turn off this trigger

OK I have a jump spell that works, only the is no movement in air etc...

I will edit in the code.


EDIT// Added attack animation.

Code: 
Jump
    Events
        Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    Conditions
    Actions
        If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            If - Conditions
                (Ability being cast) Equal to Jump 
            Then - Actions
                Set Jumper = (Casting unit)
                Set Position = (Position of Jumper)
                Unit - Pause Jumper
                Unit - Turn collision for Jumper Off
                Unit - Add Crow Form to Jumper
                Animation - Change Caster's animation speed to 30.00% of its original speed
                Trigger - Turn on Jumping <gen>
                Animation - Play Caster's attack animation
                Animation - Change Jumper flying height to 800.00 at 900.00
                Wait 0.60 seconds
                Animation - Change Jumper flying height to 0.00 at 800.00
                Wait 0.50 seconds
                Trigger - Turn off Jumping <gen>
                Unit - Remove Crow Form from Jumper
                Unit - Unpause Jumper
                Unit - Turn collision for Jumper On
                Set Jumper = No unit
                Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Position)
            Else - Actions



Code: 
Jumping
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set Position = (Position of Jumper)
        Unit - Move Jumper instantly to ((Position) offset by 3.00 towards (Facing of Jumper) degrees), facing (Facing of Jumper) degrees
        Custom script:  call RemoveLocation(udg_Position)


To make the Jumper go farther just make the offset bigger, to make distance less make offset smaller. Simple enough :D

It's good but a few key elements are missing, like said before, a jump is based upon gravity what you guys do is making a unit go up and down, which means the unit will not make a jump, but go up in a strait line and go down in a strait line as well.

Then there is another things, if you use custom scripts to reduce memory leaks, do it good, cause now your making about 220 memory leaks in that jump.

Then my final note would be not to use waits under 1.00 seconds, for they are very inacurate.

:D What do you mean by "a jump is based upon gravity". :D It makes no sense.
And shit! I'm trying to help! I've made several spells that include parabolic movements, i know all the craft of it, but they are all in JASS, and use timers and handle vars. I could post a code here, but I'm afraid it would be useless to you...


About the Jump code by blackchoas:
1. Why don't you use the Conditions part of the trigger?
2. Why do you store a location into a variable if you do not even use it? Or you just want it to look like a leakless trigger? Because the periodic trigger creates 2 location leaks every 0.01 seconds.
3. Believe me when I say you don't need to pause the unit while it's in the air. If you move a unit with 'Move unit to position', the unit stays still for a moment! But if you move it every 0.01 secs, it will be unable to move.
4. Also believe that you can remove the Crow Form instatly right after you added it to the unit, the effect will still remain, but the spells (clickable) icon will disappear.

I wasn't going to give the guy a page long trigger with 15 variables to confuse him and at least 6 custom scripts which he will not know what to mess with. I just gave him a basic jump. I'm pretty sure he will survive with a not-leakless trigger. Please, the people on bnet playing his game, won't care and leave the game if the trigger is not leakless. The guy needs something he can understand not a trigger that he will just use with no understanding, and possibly if any bugs not be able to fix later on.

I added landing damage when the jumper lands, created a dummy at the landing location which uses a cloned war stomp ablility and removed the hero ablility tag. (I cloned a wisp as a dummy, and set the food cost = 0, Art - Model file = None. )
