Hello again, sorry for bothering you again. Can i ask how to make this but it'll only stop within 10 seconds or the hero dies, it'll update its position and towards when the hero moves and change its facing angle? Thank you in advanceI attached an example map that relies on a Unit Indexer to create the spell. Unfortunately, you're on 1.30 so you won't be able to open my map.
Here are the triggers and variables so you can recreate it:
View attachment 458060
Notes:
You can adjust the Stampede spawn offset (where the Dummy units are created) here:
- The ability is based on Channel with a Follow Through Time of 15.00 seconds and Disable Other Abilities set to FALSE.
- The dummy unit is based on the Locust with some settings tweaked so it won't attack or do anything weird.
- The _Speed variable is how far a Dummy unit moves every 0.02 seconds. If it helps to understand better you can multiply this value by 50 to determine the distance traveled per second. For example, I've defaulted it to: 10.00 * 50 = 500 distance per second.
- I reuse some variables for the sake of efficiency (I didn't want to create even MORE variables). So the names of the variables can be misleading in some parts.
TS_Point[1] determines how far the Dummy unit will spawn behind the Hero. I set it to a random distance between 400 and 600 by default. You could lower these to negative values to make it spawn in front of the Hero instead.
TS_Point[2] determines the exact spot that the Dummy unit will spawn at. It uses TS_Point[1] as an origin point. I set it to a random distance between -600 and 600 which basically means it can spawn the dummy at a random point along a 1200 distance line.
So by default, I spawn the Dummy at a random point along a 1200 distance line that is anywhere between 400 to 600 distance behind the hero. This results in a somewhat random pattern that should resemble the original Stampede ability.
You'll have to play around with these values to get it working how you'd like. It may also be desirable to add some consistency to the pattern to prevent rare cases of RNG. At the moment nothing is stopping it from creating 5 close together Dummy units in a row, although it consistently spread them out during my tests.
