absorb power

I have been working on the idea of a hero temporarily absorbing the powers of those around him as follows:
Events
Unit - A unit Begins channeling an ability
Conditions
((Triggering unit) belongs to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True
(Distance between (Position of (Triggering unit)) and (Position of whateverHero <gen>)) Less than or equal to 700.00
Actions
Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
Unit - Add (Ability being cast) to whateverHero <gen>
Wait 40.00 seconds
Unit - Remove (Ability being cast) from whateverHero <gen>
Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

I turn the trigger off and on to prevent the trigger not finishing and not removing the ability. I am not clear on what the difference is between channeling and casting. Any ideas?

Spellbook Help

> Contains Active, Passive, Autocast, and Hero Abilities.

A little change here, maybe.
You cannot give Hero Abilities, cause the options are Unit and Item Abilities.

Unless you use Triggers for Hero Abilities as in
Tutorial: Makin' spellbooks by Andrewgosu.

Read what I wrote about it on units.

 

[warlll]

Where do you insert all these codes? please tell meplease

 

[Whiteboy]

Can you please give an example channel ability that needs a trigger.

I'm having a large amount of issues with the flying part. I have a hero, i give him crow form, remove it, then change his flying height to 50 at 200 and it does nothing. I think it may be because i dont know exactly what the action refers to when it says 50 at 200. Does it mean that the unit takes 200 seconds to raise 50 units? I'm so confused.

 

[Prometheus]

Animation - Change (Last created unit) flying height to 0.00 at 200.00
The 0.00 is the flying height, the 200.00 is the time it takes. I think...
Try swapping the values.

Yes but is the 200 part in minutes, seconds, warcraft time or what?

 

[Prometheus]

200 seconds I believe.

Flying height changing :
1. unit
2. height "z" of unit you want to go to
3. velocity ("z" of unit per second)

examples for a footman (requires 'Amrf') :


--- height changing ---
1.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 500.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes (500.00/100.00) = 5.00 seconds to go to 500.00 height

2.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 1000.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes (1000.00/100.00) = 10.00 seconds to go to 1000.00 height

3.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 1500.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes (1500.00/100.00) = 15.00 seconds to go to 1500.00 height

--- prefixed current height ---
4.
current height : 200.00 (NOT at ground)
height you want to go to : 500.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes ((500.00-200.00)/100.00) = 3.00 seconds to go to 500.00 height from 200.00

5.
current height : 200.00 (NOT at ground)
height you want to go to : 1000.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes ((1000.00-200.00)/100.00) = 8.00 seconds to go to 1000.00 height from 200.00

6.
current height : 200.00 (NOT at ground)
height you want to go to : 1500.00
velocity you put : 100.00
it takes ((1500.00-200.00)/100.00) = 13.00 seconds to go to 1500.00 height from 200.00

--- other velocity---
7.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 500.00
velocity you put : 250.00
it takes (500.00/250.00) = 2.00 seconds to go to 500.00 height

8.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 1000.00
velocity you put : 250.00
it takes (1000.00/250.00) = 4.00 seconds to go to 1000.00 height

9.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 1500.00
velocity you put : 250.00
it takes (1500.00/250.00) = 6.00 seconds to go to 1500.00 height

--- some random mixes ---
10.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 4000.00
velocity you put : 700.00
it takes (4000.00/700.00) = ~5.714.. seconds to go to 4000.00 height

11.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 2000.00
velocity you put : 500.00
it takes (2000.00/500.00) = 4.00 seconds to go to 2000.00 height

12.
current height : 0.00 (at ground)
height you want to go to : 100.00
velocity you put : 250.00
it takes (100.00/250.00) = 0.40 seconds to go to 100.00 height

13.
current height : 500.00 (NOT at ground)
height you want to go to : 0.00
velocity you put : 250.00
it takes (Abs(0.00-500.00)/250.00) = 2.00 seconds to go to 0.00 height from 250.00

... and so on..

so in general :
current height = y
height you want to go to = z
velocity = v

by solving (if you need one parameter from all others) :
time = t = (Abs(y-z)/v)
y = {z-tv ; z+tv}
z = {y-tv ; y+tv}
v = (Abs(y-z))/t

I can't seem to find Alarm (Alert/Aalr). How can I edit the skill's values? Is there some trick to have it show up on the object editor?

I can put the skill on units, but no clue as to why I can't search for it on the skills tab even with display raw data and searching for it as "Aalr" which also shows up on a unit that I put the skill on.
