One more animation problem

[Jaakko]

If I want to make a jump thing can I order the flying unit to move to a point and at the same time make it perform a slam animation?

Nope I dont think you can't do this on that way you have explained. But you could make a periodic trigger like this, first the start trigger:

• JumpStart
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Aas-Schwarm
  • Actions
    • Set caster = (Triggering unit)
    • Set location = (Position of caster)
    • Set location2 = (Target point of ability being cast)
    • Set distance = (Distance between location and location2)
    • Set Startdistance = (Distance between location and location2)
    • Set angle = (Angle from location to location2)
    • Unit - Add Ravenform to caster
    • Animation - Change caster flying height to 600.00 at 400.00
    • Unit - Remove Ravenform from caster
    • Animation - Play caster's slam animation
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location2)
    • Unit - Turn collision for caster Off
    • Trigger - Turn on JumpPeriodic <gen>

After that the periodic trigger:

• JumpPeriodic
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set location = (Position of caster)
    • Set location2 = (location offset by 10.00 towards angle degrees)
    • Unit - Move caster instantly to location2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_location2)
    • Set distance = (distance - 10.00)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Startdistance / 2.00) Greater than or equal to distance
      • Then - Actions
        • Set Startdistance = 0.00
        • Unit - Add Ravenform to caster
        • Animation - Change caster flying height to 0.00 at 400.00
        • Unit - Remove Ravenform from caster
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • distance Less than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • //End of the spell, here you could add damage functions
        • Unit - Turn collision for caster On
        • Set caster = No unit
        • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Else - Actions

If the ability "Ravenform" is wrong Im sorry because I just have the german version of the WE. If the abilityname is wrong the Id of the ability is 'Amrf'.

So I think now it should work!

there are some very nice jump systems on the spells page: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/resources_new/spells/679/

this one does not use triggers ^

Well I actually did it in that way because I figured there is no faster way. My trigger ended up being though a lot smaller but the fly might look a bit silly.
