Jump Tutorial

This is a tutorial on how to create a Jump ability (gui)

Step 1:
First of all create an ability based on "Channel", call it Jump.
These are the options i changed:

Step 2:
Now go to the trigger editor. Create a trigger and name it "Jump Move". Now create a variable called jumper (unit)
Set it to initially off

• Jump Move
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.17 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Move jumper instantly to ((Position of jumper) offset by 8.00 towards (Facing of jumper) degrees)

Step 3:
Create a new trigger called jump.
It should look like this:

• Jump
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Jump
  • Actions
    • Set jumper = (Triggering unit)
    • Unit - Pause jumper
    • Unit - Add Crow Form to jumper
    • Unit - Turn collision for jumper Off
    • Unit - Remove Crow Form from jumper
    • Animation - Change jumper flying height to 400.00 at 1000.00
    • Trigger - Turn on Jump Move <gen>
    • Wait 1.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Run Jump Turn Off <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Step 4: As you can see here, there are a trigger called Jump Turn Off. So lets create it. And dont forget to set it to Initially Off.
It should look like this:

• Jump Turn Off
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Change jumper flying height to 0.00 at 1000.00
    • Unit - Turn collision for jumper On
    • Unit - Unpause jumper
    • Wait 0.50 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off Jump Move <gen>

After you learned this it should be pretty easy to create more advanced jump systems.

great

i hope it's unfinished

does not seem like much of a tutorial, more like a simple trigger showoff.
It doesn't explain how the trigger works, and leaks alot.

0.17 period? this will make a really bad looking jump, rather set it to 0.03.

Also you should mention that this is not MUI.
Needs alot of work, or instead post it as a spell in the spell section.

Aren't leaks basically banned in trigger tutorials?

But yeah, it's not MUI, it's choppy, it's leaky, and waits are really inaccurate

/ or \ = Path

Man, I should've used the parabola function instead, mah! Curves are cooler!
