Giving Blink to a Tower

[ZiggyMcjoney]

I tried to make a tower use Blink and it came up with the error 'caster movement has been disabled' or some such.

I realize I can trigger it, but out of curiosity is it possible to make towers blink without triggering?

I think you have to trigger it; I doubt buildings can blink.

I think it doesnt work its not a unit you need to make your building a unit yet with building properties or just trigger it

I don't think a unit can blink if it can't move (ie. has a movement speed of 0) like a building, so unless your building can move then no, it cannot blink without triggers.

Mkay, all good.

A custom blink spell isn't hard.

Make an ability based off of channel that targets a point.

trigger
event -
a unit starts the effect of an ability

condition -
ability being cast = channel blink

action -
set TempPoint - target point of ability being cast
play animation - blinkcast
unit - move - casting unit to temppoint
play animation - blinkappear
Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)


You'll get the gist of it, I haven't tested it myself, but it should work. Unless of course 'unit - move' doesn't work with buildings.
But that ability would be MUI, etc.

I am well aware of how to trigger a blink, I just wanted to know whether it was possible to do it without triggers out of curiosity basically.

Thanks anyway .

remove the classification that it's a building.

remove the classification that it's a building.

You say this just as I finish my trigger

I'll try this out later anyway, thanks.
