Inverse Purge

[HL.Clockwork]

I would like to make a spell like inverse purge. Slowing the unit over time more and more until it is unable to move for 1 second.

Searched forums but cannot find anything about this.

thank for help

Please give a little better explanation of what you want. Not everyone here is fond of how purge work, and the other sentence there does not make any sense at all

well purge reduces the movement speed to a minimum and then the unit regains x% of it speed back per second.

now i want an ability that slows the unit over x secs and the first second the speed ot set to 80% the next to 60% until 0%(stop) then regain full speed.

I think you'll have to make a trigger for that

 

[Samael88]

Have you tried changing some of the values of the spell to negative values. That can sometimes have unexpected results If that does not work, then trigger it.

Like having a dummy unit cast an ability on the unit that slows it for 80%
when the effect of that spell runs out, have another dummy cast a spell wich does 60% spell. and so on.. I hope you get what I mean

got what u mean but my problem is, that it is for a TD so thats a tower skill, and u can build more then one tower. Dunno how to manage that much dummy casters and how to detect if a buff runs out?

I don't know if this is what you need.. You gave a rather vague discription

But anyway, try it. It's MUI, and leakless (Didn't really check.. but I'm pretty sure ) and should be pretty customizable .. not alot, since I just made it fast . You can decide how long it takes for the unit to each 0 speed (and thereby gain 100% movement speed back).

*REMEMBER* Change constants to Minimumspeed: 0, maximum speed: 522.

Okay

What this Reverse Purge does is:
Set the movementspeed of the unit every 0.10 sec to The movementspeed (Lets say its 300) of the unit, / with the amount of seconds it take (lets say its 10) / 10 (To get the 0.10 sec)

Meaning it would reduce enemy movementspeed by 3 per 0.10 sec, or 30 per second. Very gradual, so you wouldnt see major movement speed changes, just alittle at a time. When it hits 0 movementspeed, it goes back to the units default movement speed.

PS: Before copying, make sure you remove the "Display Text to all players". It was just to check if the speed was working properly

 

[HL.Clockwork]

something is am thinking about is a leak:

# -------- Dummy Unit --------
# Set Location = (Position of (Triggering unit))
# Unit - Create 1 Dummy Unit for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at Location facing Default building facing degrees
# Unit - Set the custom value of (Last created unit) to MUI
# Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to ReversePurgeGroup

is this unit removed somewhere?

 

[lindenkron]

No is it not. True, I did make it abit fast

Add a: Unit - Remove Picked unit from Game. here:

• Else - Actions
  • Unit - Set Target[MUI_GO] movement speed to (Default movement speed of Target[MUI_GO])
  • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from ReversePurgeGroup
  • Unit - Remove Picked unit from Game.
  • Set Wait[MUI_GO] = 0.00

Bottom of the last trigger
