Can somone help me how to add attack move ability to a spell book so it can be used whilst a spell book is up? must be GUI many thanks and +rep

Hm, can't be done, because Attack Move is not an ability, it's an alternative Attack order. Only custom Attack Ground pal, sorry.

 

[corley]

okay thanks anyway for looking

What about an ability that orders the unit to attack move?

James7 is right i believe, add a dummy ability to your spellbook, hotkey a, make a trigger for when unit uses ability order unit to attack move to target point of ability being cast. I dont have time to check if this works or not, but it does sound good on paper.... or monitor i guess x.x

 

[James7]

idk seemed extremely obvious to me. I don't know why it WOULDNT work.

okay ive got it 1/2 working but there are 1oe 2 issues. The unit stop for a moment when "casting" the attack move ability, and also if i hide this ability off the spell book(book is full) do you guys think it will still work and respond to "a"??

 

[James7]

Well you gotta tinker with the ability to get rid of the pause. Lower casting duration? I think, I don't have the editor open. Just brain storming for you ;].

casting time is set to 0, the dummy spell is based from blizzard. My only poblem now is that my spell book is full so i cannot add this "attack move dummy" ability without loosing a spell, if the ability is in a seperate book or as a hero ability it wont work when the main spell book is up?
