[Trigger] Move units in range to a point with an animation

[TheAyalalalalon]

So i made a skill that moves all enemy units in range to a point but i want this trigger to be a bit animated instead of instatly move.

• Detener
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Custom Ability
  • Actions
    • Set ETPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set ETGroup = (Units within 500.00 of ETPoint)
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in ETGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • ((Picked unit) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Casting unit))) Equal to True
            • ((Picked unit) is A structure) Equal to False
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to ETPoint
          • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup (udg_ETGroup)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_ETPoint)

How can i add a short animation of units moving to center to this ability? I know i should use the

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions

but I did not know how to do it correctly

You want to learn or to create this spell?

Only Create:
If you only want to add an animated move you could search in the Spell-section for "Knockback"/"Charge" -> find a suiting System and importing it to your map.
for example: GUI Knockback 2.5D v4.2.3.1 by Bribe

Learn:
You need to somehow save the Angel/Speed/Duration of the Knockback for each affected Unit and inser them in an constant group which represents all affected Units.
This can be archieved by Using an Unit-Indexer or by Using an Hashtable.
During loop you load values and move the Units according to the loaded until a unit's Exit-Condition is valid -> remove it from the Group.
The Constant Group needs to be created before else it won't work

With Unit Indexer

This would work but might bring problems with walkablity and Unit Colision.

• Init
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- Create an Empty Group --------
    • Set Knockback_Affected = (Units in (Playable map area) matching (False Gleich True))

• loop Unit indexer
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Einheitengruppe - Pick every unit in Knockback_Affected and do (Actions)
      • Schleifen - Aktionen
        • -------- Represents the Affectes Units Index, granted by the Unit Indexer --------
        • Set Index = (Custom value of (Picked unit))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Condition
            • Knockback_Duration[Index] > 0
          • Then - Actions
            • Set loc = (Position of (Picked unit))
            • Set loc2 = (loc offset by Knockback_Speed[Index] towards Knockback_Angel[Index] degrees)
            • Einheit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to loc2
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc2)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
            • Set Knockback_Duration[Index] = (Knockback_Duration[Index] - 1)
          • Else - Actions
            • Einheitengruppe - Remove (Picked unit) from Knockback_Affected

Order them to move to the location.

• Unit Group - Order temp_group to Move To temp_location
