Movement types

[Mr G W]

What is the difference between Foot, Hover and Horse movement types?

I've tested them and they pretty much do the same...

Hover seems to not activate Goblin Mines...

If i remember well hover allows units to walk on water. LIke naga units.

No that's amphibious.. float is what the shade and banshee have. Wisps have it too.

Oh, sorry, my mistake. I think they might walk unpassable terrains like Outland Abyss, but i'm just guessing
Also, maybe they don't pitch while walking.

foot are all units that use their feet lol. horse same but usually makes a movement sound sometimes, like cavalry walk (even though u dont have a movemt sound on). amphibious is water and land, float just for water, flying....well flying units (enough said) and hover is like u said, it 'walks' but doesnt trigger mines (its a type of walk and fly at the same time).

Ok thx.

Also, you forgot that the ,,Hover" type of movement can use any value for ,,Movement -Height" and to still be ,,Foot Type of Walking", not like airborne creatures, to fly over objects. That's the way of ,,Flying" Heroes in many maps, including DotA.

I think Hover makes the unit float over shallow water (like Lich and Sorceress), not sure though.

None - Cant move
Foot - Walk
Horse - Walk
Hover - Just like walk but has graphical different, IT HOVERS
Float - Can move only in water (Cant come on ground)
Ambhibious - Can swim in deep water
