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.

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.
 
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.
 
Sorry guy

I'm sorry. That time I post is 12pm at my place, so just like, sleep.
Sorry about question too.
Explain:

Yeah. That's it.
-- edit the 1st post too.:ogre_kawaii:
 
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 :/
 
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
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?

i thought it was increase, lol

Seem it not have any solution

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.
 
^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.
 
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 ?
And, I

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.
 
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 :D
 
LOL, what have I done, in "model step" I do very good, but the bone =))

btw, please make it -500, thank :)
