increase unit size gradually over time

How do you increase unit size gradually over time? ><"

IcemanBo made a system that does just that. You can either use the system or take a look at his code to see how he did it.

I don't know coding. I'm new on scrapping the works of triggers in WE. Is there any easier method? Sorry....

You can change the size of a unit using the "Animation - Change Unit Size" function. If you want to do it over time, you will need to use some sort of periodic loop that will change it every X seconds.

 

[Neruvatar]

yeah, I know. I just don't know how to configure that periodic loop that will change it over X seconds. =(

• Events - Every 0.01 seconds
• Actions :
• (Animation - Change Unit size + 10)

 

[Neruvatar]

I know that, but it only changes once if you put in unit size as 110%. I want it to become bigger and bigger over time

 

[Warseeker]

Ah, Now I understand, you'll have to use interger.

(Animation - Change unit Size + 10) using a periodic timer

"(Animation - Change unit Size + 10) using a periodic timer" <--- this
It only changes once even though i set a periodic timer....

 

[KILLCIDE]

Store it into a variable.

RealVariable = RealVariable + 10
Animation - Change Unit Size to RealVariable

To add on to the system, we refer to "Avatar" from the original warcraft 3, the size shrink and expand mechanism is done by using a variable boolean for "True" or "False. In this scenerio, it refers to the comparison of time which in the case of "Time Travel" functions will set the variable to "False" and start the shrinking process. However, we also require factor value such as an integer to store how fast it shrinks or expands. I hope this simplify your concerns for your future development.

I am not sure what you mean, Killcide... sorry, I am new to triggers.

Destiny.Knight, I don't follow... ><"""
