[Trigger] need help for gravity lapse spell

[stan0033]

Hello, I made a spell that lifts the target up in the air and brings it back down after short time. I have some problems with it, 1. after the spell is done the target appears to became flying unit, because when i try the spell again on it it says it can only target ground units. 2. in the spell it is allowed only to target enemy, organic, ground units,not self, but I can target my allies. what should I change to fix this? 3. after the spell is done something goes wrong with the targeting, when I mouse-enter on the cast unit it does not show hp bar,however I can click it.

1.

• Unit - Add Crow Form to (Target unit of ability being cast)

just remove the crow form right after adding it
although I sugget you to implement AutoFly

2.

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetSpellTargetUnit(), 'Aloc')

it is not cool, really..

1. Just make the spell be able to target both flying and ground unit?

2. Enemy, organic, air, ground.

3. Because you added/removed Locust. This will bug the HP/Mana bar. The unit will also be harder to select.

You can not remove Aloc that easy with this line. Think I have seen once a trick with meta to remove it but anyway it's more work as just to make it invul during it's flight.

Countdown Timer - Start Gravity_Lapse_Timer as a One-shot timer that will expire in (3.00 + Level of Gravity Lapse) seconds.

This spell won't work correctly with more than instance.
You use one timer and one global unit group. If someone casts again, the timer starts from new.(and now with a new timeout, depending on the ability-level)
So now when the timer expires the first and the second unit get removed both the same time.

You could use artificial waits: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/...279/mui-spells-using-artificial-waits-223315/

Edit: or an easier but bit worse methode: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/trigger-gui-editor-tutorials-279/mui-triggers-waits-218354/ <-- don't use it here.

@vypur85
1. why would I lift air unit in the air?

 

[vypur85]

Then, just remove the air.
You don't need 'Not self'. Using 'enemy' would suffice.

Edit:
Completely forgot about the targeting fly unit issue...
I'm not too sure what is the best solution for you.

As far as I know, adding/removing Storm Crow Form or Crow Form does not make a unit a fly unit.
Not sure what you did there though.

 

[stan0033]

HMm, I found a solution for 1. I just add ground classification and remove fly. 3. I make them invulnerable.
I just wonder how to make the unit not be able to cast spells easy. I know I can put a dummy with 4 ranks of silence, but maybe there is other way.

As far as I know, adding/removing Storm Crow Form or Crow Form does not make a unit a fly unit.

it does make the unit can fly, but not adding fly classification to that unit..

you kknow warcraft debug message sometimes shows a wrong message? so my suggestion is just check your OE data, make sure there is nothing wrong there.. because AFAIk, you can't add/remove unit classification via trigger.. that's all and good luck..
