Recreate Graviton Beam/Reverse Ensnare

[UreDe4D]

Hi, i want to recreate the Graviton Beam Ability from SC2, for those who don't know, it picks up a Land Unit making it being targeted like an Air unit.

I used the dragonhawkriders ability (renamed it "Lift") as base with the following triggers.

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to Lift
• Actions
  • Unit - Add classification of an Air-Unit to (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Unit - Remove classification of a Ground-Unit from (Target unit of ability being cast)

• Events
  • Unit - A unit ends the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) equal to Lift
• Actions
  • Unit - Add classification of an Ground-Unit to (Target unit of ability being cast)
  • Unit - Remove classification of a Air-Unit from (Target unit of ability being cast)

But thats not working. Anyone got an idea on how to do that?

Does the classification change work as intended?

Your end effect trigger will not work because there is no "Target unit of ability being cast" in response to that event as the ability cast has already ended.

No it doesn't, i placed a tower next to it which can only attack air units. Completely new approaches are fine too.

Thanks for the info on the second trigger

Outside of morphing the unit type, is there even a way to change what a unit is target as to flying in WC3?
