Noob-ish Ability/Trigger Question

[MySpaceBarBroke]

I'm trying to make a skill where you target a place and the hero moves toward that place (not instantly) regardless of units in the way, and damages the units nearby him. i cant find a trigger to deal the damage to only enemy units, nor can i find one to move him, not teleport him. halp?

Maybe this way...

Ok, first things first
Just like you, I wasn't able to find a trigger that refers to the place where you target your ability (the place you need your unit to move to). Still, it can be done like this- your ability summons a dummy at the targeted place and than you use this to make the unit move there:

Order Casting unit to Right click Dummy

And your unit moves to the dummy
Secondly, you should use the trigger

Turn collision for Casting Unit Off

to make your unit go through others
And lastly, maybe you don't need to trigger to damage nearby enemies... use the Immolation ability. Use a trigger to give the passive Immolation ability to your unit when it casts the spell and then remove Immolation using the remove ability trigger...

Hope this helps!!!

thx!

that helped a lot!

 

[MySpaceBarBroke]

umm...

how do u stop it, though? how do you determine when to turn all of this stuff off?

Maybe...

I can think of one way- attach a region to the dummy and then use the event:
A Unit Enters Region

Good luck
