Simple Unit and Spell Problem

[ManyFaces1999]

Hello everyone. I've got problems on world editor, do you think you can help me??

First of all, how do I add height to a unit? Like, making it fly? (Simple Problem)

Second, why do some spells not appear after research? For example, I want to learn *random skill* , after i researched it, it didnt show up on the bottom. I've already configured its Button Configs X & Y to be on 3,2 (the bottom right corner). How do i fix this?

Thanks to anyone who answers! ^_^

As for the height.
Setting a unit's height only works for already flying units unless you do a bit of a work around.

To make a ground unit fly first add the Storm Crow ability to the unit and then immediately remove it again. Afterwards you can change the unit's height.

Various reasons. If you upload a map we can tell you exactly why its not working.

Instead of uploading you map you could also simply post the triggers involved.

Okay thanks. Btw, I'll upload my map later.

Btw, does the Storm Crow ability change yur unit from gound to flying? I could just check the "targeted as ground" thing, right?

Another thing, why can't i change the damage on goblin land mines??

EdIt: The ability that doesn't show up is "Destroyer Form". After learning it, it doesnt show up on the bottom. I'vee tried a similar spell but it didnt transform and didnt have any abilities the normal form had, and when it reverted back to normal form, all learned abilities were lost…

No the Storm Crow ability will not leave your unit as a flying type. It is still considered a ground unit.

The default damage ability of the Goblin Landmine is found in the object editor under Special -> Units. Look for "AOE damage upon death (Goblin Mine)".

To make a mine work you need an ability to place the mine (spawns the unit Mine).
Create a Mine unit (the unit that explodes).
Add the AOE damage ability to the Mine unit.

How do I remove the storm crow ability without losing the height?

 

[Solu9]

In your trigger you should simply add the Storm Crow ability and in the next line remove it again, then set the flying height of the unit.

If I recall correctly the unit will not lose its height until you change it again.

Update: So I made the unit fly without storm crow ability. There was something in the object editor that made me a choice and turned movement to : flyer and etc. I just changed the destroyer ability thing to something else and i dont nees the mines anymore. thanks anyways! Ill add you to the credits.


Still want me to upload the map?

 

[Solu9]

Glad it worked out for you.
If your problem has been fixed there is no reason to upload the map.
Well other than if it is complete of course

Goddamnit, why complicating it?? Just change the value in "Movement-Height:" section
