How to make unit dig in ground.

[ngkn92]

Just like a tittle.
More info is, I wanna make a trigger for a unit to rise form a ground.

-- edit --

First it will fly (backward) into ground then rise to the sky.

 

[BLazeKraze]

Look on the spell section and find digging system

 

[Rheiko]

@sigelang
i don't think such system exist at spell section?
if it does, please link it here. because i didn't find it and i'm too lazy to search it from 1-36 pages

@ngkn92
i don't think it is possible
maybe use Terrain Deformation? but i warn you, it's leak

 

[chobibo]

or edit the model, be more specific ngkn, your description is vague.

 

[Binsu]

How about Burrow ability from Crypt Fiend ability or mimic how its been used. When an ability is cast perform an SFX at that position that will make the unit casting unseenable then hide unit then if Rise from ground, put an SFX or Special Effect again hiding the position where the casting unit is then after the SFX, unhide unit.

 

[Rheiko]

i guess he wants an unit to raise form of the ground using trigger
i think it's impossible, i don't know if jass can do the trick

Edit:
@Hell_Master
maybe

 

[Binsu]

Yup mimicing it even if its not exact is a choice also but maybe try looking through this searches OP, http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/spells.php?search=Dig&d=list&r=20

 

[chobibo]

The only way, that I can think of that would look right, is adding a skeleton birth animation to the model. (The rising from the ground animation). It's hard to guess what exactly the thread starter needs, that's why I told the thread starter to include more information.

 

[Rheiko]

guys, i guess he wants to dig in ground not unit rise from the ground

There ^

 

[chobibo]

Hell_Master, you're bb code is messed up lawl!

 

[FUJI]

There's Ground Dive Spell made by Wrda in the Spell Section, after diving into the ground then add the birth animation to the unit.

This is the digging system that the terrain deforms .

 

[Rheiko]

There ^

i don't know, i just guessing
look at the title and look at the info
since OP doesn't give us a clear question and explanation

 

[FUJI]

The user said that How to make the Unit TUNNEL OR DIG in the Ground means it is like tunneler anyway sigelang gives the link ^^.

@ngkn92

Pls elaborate or make your question clear so that the helpers will understand your problem :3.

 

[ngkn92]

Sorry guy

I'm sorry. That time I post is 12pm at my place, so just like, sleep.
Sorry about question too.
Explain:
First it will fly (backward) into ground then rise to the sky.
Yeah. That's it.
-- edit the 1st post too.

 

[ngkn92]

I use this to build a gate. It will move into ground when someone go near it. But it just stand there. I dont know what to do :/

 

[Rheiko]

well, it's not that i don't want to help you
but... i can't understand your post <.<
sorry

 

[SA Dashie]

If there isn't another basic solution for this, can someone maybe make a basic tutorial showing how to decrease the default height of the model itself?

This would likely come in handy for me as well!

 

[Rheiko]

if what you mean is flying height
Animation - Change Unit's Flying Height to..
but your unit must a flying unit or else this won't work

 

[SA Dashie]

^Units either it being a flying unit or not cannot have there fly height set negatively through triggers. Only by their default value in the object editor. ;-;

afaik


So if the units model itself was set to enough negativity in height as needed there wouldn't be this problem as much.

 

[Rheiko]

sorry but i don't understand you
lol

 

[Daffa]

I believe it's possible to make unit's height modifiable [as long it's not negative values], as long as it's a flying unit or have used the crow form tactic.

 

[Rheiko]

now i understand what he means
yeah, negative value won't work from trigger editor and can only be done with OE
i guess i misread your post

i thought it was increase, lol
sorry about that

 

[ngkn92]

Seem it not have any solution

Rheiko:

It's ok now. I work on another effect, it look good then.
Thank for your help, everyone.

You can decrease height of the unit if the unit is greater than 1 fly height but not 0, you can decrease that in the trigger by adding crow form ability to the unit and remove it or if the unit is movement - flying. You can get negative values in JASS line.

• Example
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Contruct First Method - Enabling Fly Movement. --------
    • Custom script: if UnitAddAbility( GetTriggerUnit ( ), 'Amrf' ) and UnitRemoveAbility( GetTriggerUnit ( ), 'Amrf' ) then
    • Custom script: endif
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Negative Value ( Custom Script ) or ( Jass Line ) --------
    • Custom script: set udg_MY_NEGATIVE_HEIGHT_VALUE = -100.00
    • -------- --------
    • -------- Action --------
    • Animation - Change (Triggering unit) flying height to MY_NEGATIVE_HEIGHT_VALUE at 0.00
    • -------- --------

Or you can use integer in JASS and setting the unit fly height accessible in JASS.

 

[SA Dashie]

^The hole entire point of this thread has been made to show that any units height can't become negative through triggers.
With it being typed into the native(action) that is through triggers.

Actually if you set the units fly height to a negative by default it would work and when you try to set it to the same height with the native to set fly height it would be set to 0.01 fly height.

 

[ngkn92]

But I want to set it negative.
Any way, I find the way, cause I can edit height of unit, so I create a lot of unit and set height (-200, -180 , -160 . . . ) and keep create it in a short time, it look like a unit is flying from the ground.

Hmmm. I never had problems with models going underground. I use triggers. And since a unit cannot go below 0. I changed its height in through MDLVIS, or through Model Editor, but sometimes it screws up the animations when I use Model Editor. I change the height of a model in MDLVIS to negative, so in the WE its height would still be 0 but would be below the ground. You can increase it and decrease it through triggers.

Don't create too many units. Have a looping trigger and periodically change the unit height.

Too many unit cause loading time longer, right ?

This is the best solution I ever had, however, how to use it ? ( there a pic with this post )

Creating units can cause leaks, specially if in a point, but you can stop them by using a variable for the points where they are created, then remove it. also remove the dummy units when they die.


Ok then, First you move the model, not the bones yet. When you open your model in MDLVIS, click the "Perspective" then set it to right. Then your right side, check all boxes, in the Geosets. After that, select all points (Just like in your desktop, if you wanna delete many stuff (Click and Drag)). Then move click the "Move", its located at your right side (That Hand Icon). Then you will see two arrows, one pointing up and other pointing right. Hold the arrow pointing right, then move it downwards (Be sure to move your model under the line).

For the bones, click "Modules" then select "Sequence Editor" then you will see 3 grey buttons (Bones. Anims. Movement), then click "Bones", then check the "Multiselect" box (Located at the right), then zoom out until you can only see one bone (Those Square things). Then once you've selected the bones (All square things would be colored red when selected, i think), zoom back in. Then once again click the "Move" and move the bones to your model.

Thats how I did it, but I think there is a better and faster way, Im not really good with it, I just learned about MDLVIS one week ago.

I hope this helps you

If you still have a problem, just send me that model or link, then I would do it myself.

So was it tested that dummies needed to be removed?

 

[Tom_Almighty1]

lol. what? xD

 

[Vinz]

Unit Leak proves that units cause perma-leak once they enter the map.

Hence, I wasn't referring to the point, I was referring to the Unit Leak itself.

 

[Tom_Almighty1]

Hmmm.... So we cant stop the unit create memory leak?

 

[Vinz]

Nope.

 

[Tom_Almighty1]

Oh, that sucks :/
I thought it could be removed xD

 

[ngkn92]

My case is I create a lot of units in Object Editor ( not in game ) and it make loading time longer ( because I try to import all that objects to a new map ). Just think I have to delete every unit I dont use now, make me tired.

Thank for the tut, TOM, I try this right now

 

[ngkn92]

LOL, what have I done, in "model step" I do very good, but the bone =))
-
btw, please make it -500, thank

 

[Vinz]

What? -500? Which?

 

[ngkn92]

What? -500? Which?

I ask Tom to help reduce heigh on my model He did it.
