[Trigger] Linier Spell with the animation of caster as a missile?

[Red Orca]

Ok, so here's what I wanna do:

Take a linear spell, like shockwave, and when cast it uses the casters 'Spell slam' animation as the missile, and move the caster to the target of the ability being cast.

I know it can be done, I just cant figure it out. . .

You use a periodic event and then move the caster by a short distance.

 

[Red Orca]

Can you give an example?

 

[Pyritie]

Look in the spells section. I'm sure there's something with periodic sliding there. Then just make the unit play its animation.

This never did get the attention it needed. . .

I tried to use slide, and that really didnt work well. . .

C'mon, someone help?

 

[Red Orca]

Damnit ppl. . . *bump*

My map has pretty much come to a stand still because of this. . .

Use the 'point with polar offset' action. It is used in many systems/spells.

Or you could request the spell.

well i am not on my comp right now, but what you will need to do is have the slide trigger, and have another trigger that fires when you cast the spell, you will need to figure out the correct timing and such. but you will need to go "Animation-Play (triggering) unit's attack slam animation" then right after you need to "animation-set triggering unit's animation speed to X%" i would suggest trying 50 first, but you will need to "turn on (Slide Trigger)" then figure out your timing and such, and at the end "Animation-set animation speed to 100%" and "Reset Unit's animation" that should hopefully be enuff for u to figure out, because this is a quite simple spell which is why ppl prolly dont seem to help so much
