Slowed Movement on Water

[WanderingPeanut]

Exactly as above, how could I make a trigger that slows a units movement speed on water? Preferably not too trigger heavy as it will have to work for quite a lot of units. Thanks in advance for helping xD.

one solution would be, to create invisible units in the water, with the
tornado slowing aura. then you have to place some so there is no free space in the
water, in which you don't get slowed.
and that you don't have to much units, just increase the aoe of the aura.

I think these would be the triggers you are looking for.

• Terrain
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set group1 = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Terrain cliff level at (Position of (Matching unit))) Equal to 0))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Terrain cliff level at (Position of (Matching unit))) Equal to 0)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to ((Default movement speed of (Picked unit)) - 50.00)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_group1)

• Terrain2
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.10 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set group1 = (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Terrain cliff level at (Position of (Matching unit))) Greater than or equal to 1))
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group1 and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Set (Picked unit) movement speed to (Default movement speed of (Picked unit))
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_group1)

Change the time interval and cliff levels and movement reduction to better suit your needs.

but for that you need the right cliff level, or it would bug, or am I wrong?

You are right. Only use my method if all water is on the same level and there is no other ground below that level.

Thank you both for helping.
Im using the method where you change something or other (cant remember what) that allows you to create land by using the raise tool, will the cliff level thing still work?

I'm not sure actually, it should do it. To check you can just hover you mouse over the terrain to see the cliff level in the lower right corner. Note that it currently slows down air units too.
