Making a unit visually leap?

[Sapprine]

Is there anyway i can make a nerubian for example leap down from a cliff for cinematic purposes.

There is. Move the unit gradually towards the desired location while adjusting the height of the unit to form an arc. Use a timer for the graduality of movement, choosing reasonably small intervals, (such as 0.03 - 0.05 seconds).

example?

I might add some more but here it is as of now:

• Move
  • Events
    • Game - Every 0.03 seconds of game-time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ArbitraryVariable to (Position of UnitVariable)
    • Comment: Set another point variable to a point offset
    • Comment: with a specified distance of desire times 0.03 (interval above) and
    • Comment: an angular displacement based on facing angle.
    • Comment: Move the unit.
    • Comment: Adjust the height of the unit.
    • Comment: Just in case, before the height adjustment, add the Raven Form ability (returns false for those who already have it) and remove it if true.
    • Custom Script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ArbitraryVariable)

Why not just give him a link to the How to Create Realistic Jump in the tutorial section instead of writing it yourself (in case you are not the author of that tutorial... :| )?
Edit// About Movement //EndEdit

@Quinten There is a whole tutorial in the Tutorial section explaining step by step both the theory & practice in both mathematics, physics & code.

You could also explore the spells section for any spells & systems that simulate jumping.

This stuff is too complicated for me... I'll just make them burrow and unburrow at the foot of the cliff to make it appear as if they burrowed trough there.

If you change your opinion and would you need it in your cinematic you can request the jump for someone implementing it on point in your map. Being vJASS or Wurst compatible would make it easier, too.

I only use World Edit (I'm a proffesional terrainer) and I almost never use custom recources or any kind of data imports.

I made amazing replica's of the Wrathgate, Molten Core Raid and I'm currently working on my grand masterpiece.

You take money for this?

In some cases, i do earn a bit, yes. But only from payments that get offered to me. I also require not to be credited (I dont mind) and I do it purely for fun.
