[Spell] Rolling 360 degree on air

[Yudistira]

How to make unit rolling 360 degree on the air while jumping and playing attack animation..?

i can make unit jumping and playing attack animation but for rolling i can't.

i dont find any order inside trigger editor to do that..

thx

I don't think there is anything in the trigger editor for changing units roll and pitch, yaw can be changed through units facing. There should be a dummy model with animations that is used for this things, I'll try to find and see if it can roll.

I Remember a map cinematic that when a Zeppelin crashed, Peons fall from it, changing pitch and Roll. I Think it is Possible is JASS.
(Cinematics Only) OR:
Use Invisible Platforms Who are rotated and Unit(s) Move like knockback towards that.

@arad

is there any knockback in Y axis ?
anyway you said peon fall , fall with rolling is different? fall only reduce movement heigh,but rolling with must rotating the unit vertically..that my problem

@bajaist

could you give the example

anyway you said peon fall , fall with rolling is different? fall only reduce movement height, but rolling with must rotating the unit vertically..that my problem

I Understand your problem.
You want your Unit to Roll. and I Only said it is possible. However in Spells the Solution I Said won't work.

There is a spell with a jumping spinning motion in Fred's 40 Spells

The Arthus unit has it. It's not that good though.

EDIT: Woops, you wanted rolling, don't bother looking at the spells, they are spinning, not rolling :\

Dont want it or use Vexorian's dummy unit.
This unit cannot run any jump, walk or fall animation (except if you made that in the model as it runs it's "stand" animation) but can roll a unit in Z-Angle.

You can't change a unit's roll in the air. You can fake it through a couple of means though.
(1) You might be able to use a modified impale model to do it. Impale is the only spell that attaches a unit model to the effect model, so if you make a dummy model that flips and use impale as a base, perhaps it would work? It is a decent amount of work though, and requires knowledge of model editing. And I'm not even sure if it would work. I just remember Jesus4Lyf mentioning it as a possibility in the past.
(2) Use a series of dummies with the unit's model set at different roll angles. Each version of the unit model will act as a "frame", similar to a flip book. You will create all the dummies at once, play the appropriate animation, and just show/hide the appropriate model for each "frame" of the spell.

Note that (2) is a bit limited in use since you would have to make a bunch of objects for every different model that may cast the spell. But if you have only one type of unit who will cast the spell, it is a pretty good option. It doesn't look too bad if you make enough units. Credits to Tinki3 for the original idea--he submitted it for a spell contest 8 or 9 years ago. It was pretty smart--I'm not sure if he came up with it, but that is where I got it from.

(2 2.0) use Vexorians dummy which has a modifyable roll.
Specifically created for missile systems but turned out to be usefull for everything.
