Ultra Slow Motion

[RyFridge]

Hey guuuys

i've seen this video some months ago. And i really want to use that cool slow motion style for a new game video of mine. Is there any way to do this simple? Because im not too good in triggering, and changing the options of a lot of units would consume way too much time (even if i knew which variables to change), i guess.

Now i know that it was fairly easy to change unit movement speed in warcraft 3, but projectiles had to be faked with invisible units and stuff, and i have no idea at all about how to slow down aaall the animations.

So, if somebody got a solution or any hints, i'd be very grateful!

Thanks, RyFridge

Behavior has a field called "Unit - Modification - Time scale". Set this to something less than 1, and just apply that behavior to every unit/missile you want to slow down (missiles are also units).

As the alpha mothership showed, time scale affects both missles and units.

It is completly possible to make a missle statis field using the data editor alone which stops all projectiles but lets units walk through it. Like wise you can easilly make a time stop ability like seen in DotA Allstars with nothing more than nulling the unit time scale of the affected units in an area.

Sounds great!
Could you maybe tell me where to find it exactly or do a screenshot? Because i got trouble finding that 'behaviour' in the german editor version

Do i have to look for the special unit or at behaviours? (and if there, which one and how does it work?)

Sorry im just not familier with this stuff yet.

Behaviour - buff.

 

[M0RT]

In data editor, it's the tab with miniature green reaper icon

If you won't be able tp find Time Scale, try toggling raw data display (CTRL+D), that will display field system names rather than descriptions, and those should be in english.

So now i would like create a new behaviour to buff on my 'slow motion' units? For example i'd duplicate the zealot charge and then modifie which field? I see theres time scale, but that just lets me choose from 3 options, not put in a value. Or modification? But what to change there?

 

[M0RT]

There are multiple fields called "Time scale something". Two of them refer to duration of the buff (which unit's time scale is used for it), and there is another, under Unit - modification, that actually sets the affected unit's time scale.

Thanks so much guys, got it working now
