Simple cinematic question

[ModCraft]

How would I make a unit go in slow motion?

 

[Bob27]

I've never had to do it myself, so i'm not exactly sure, but it might be this.

• Animation - Change (Unit)'s animation speed to 100.00% of its original speed

 

[ModCraft]

I don't think that did it, I tried it, the unit is created behind the portal, when he is created I used the above action and I don't think it worked right, change last created units speed to 40%. Thanks for trying though,

Would the map help any?

change units movement speed two half and animation speed to half.... might work....

Atleast i tried

 

[ModCraft]

In the object editor? I'm not trying to slow them down like that, I appreciate you trying though lol. I'm just lookin for a trigger, thanks though!

 

[Bob27]

You should be able to use this trigger to slow down the movement speed of a unit.

• Unit - Set (Last created unit) movement speed to (Default movement speed of (Triggering unit))

Thats why i put "Atleast i tried".....

I dont cinematic much anymore.....

 

[ModCraft]

Lol, its ok man, I said I didn't mind . Let me try bobs trigger, rep for both of you.

Don't just use 1. You need to use both triggers Bob posted.

The animation speed is how fast the animations are played. If you set this to 0% and you move a unit, that means the unit moves, but you don't see it walking.
The movement speed is how much ground the unit covers in a period of time. So if you set this to 1 (I believe there's a problem with setting it to 0), you'll see the unit walk on the same spot. It'll won't go anywhere, but it'll still play the animation.

So if you want a unit to go slow-motion, you set the animation speed and movement speed to the same percentage. So to make your unit go slow-motion to half speed, use:

• Animation - Change UNIT's animation speed to 50.00% of its original speed
• Unit - Set UNIT's movement speed to ((Default movement speed of UNIT) / 2)

By /2 you mean divide it by two, it's normally set at 300 for this unit, and I have it set to last created unit since he is created by a trigger, so is that right?

 

[Avator]

For the divided by 2: Yes. /2 means divided by 2

As for your unit problem: No! When the unit is created, you set it to a unit variable if you need it for a trigger unless it's permanent. Think of it like this: When you create the unit that you want to slow-mo and another unit is created somewhere else, it'll activate on the other unit instead of the unit you want to effect.

Thats what I needed, thanks to all! +rep

Just one thing i want to say: if you ever get problems with it, it might be because you need to run the trigger after its ordered to move.
