Is there anything wrong with this?

[KMDK]

Is there anything wrong with this trigger? Because when I cast the spell, nothing happens. (I'm not yet done with the spell)

Laser Rocket
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to Laser Rocket 
    Actions
        Set Laser_Rocket_Caster = (Casting unit)
        Unit - Add Storm Crow Form to (Triggering unit)
        Unit - Remove Storm Crow Form from (Triggering unit)
        Animation - Change Laser_Rocket_Caster flying height to 600.00 at 500.00
        If ((Current flying height of Laser_Rocket_Caster) Greater than or equal to 600.00) then do (Animation - Change Laser_Rocket_Caster flying height to 0.00 at 500.00) else do (Do nothing)

Removing the storm crow ability right after you add it, would do nothing I'm sure.

 

[KMDK]

i did that for my other spells and it worked. And I also tried removing storm crow after the ability ends and still didn't work

 

[nabbig2]

So what exactly do you want happening, that isn't happening?

 

[KMDK]

to fly and land

 

[scorpion182]

because you set the flying height to 0.0

If ((Current flying height of Laser_Rocket_Caster) Greater than or equal to 600.00) then do (Animation - Change Laser_Rocket_Caster flying height to 0.00 at 500.00) else do (Do nothing)

 

[KMDK]

ok but he doesn't even start to fly. He basically just stands there and does nothing.

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability

change it with

Unit - A unit Starts the Effects of an ability

 

[KMDK]

doesn't work

Set Laser_Rocket_Caster = (Casting unit) After setting the unit the Trigger cant understand which unit is (Triggering Unit)

• Unit - Add Storm Crow Form to (Triggering unit)
  • Unit - Remove Storm Crow Form from (Triggering unit)
  • Set Laser_Rocket_Caster = (Casting unit)

After you do this it should start flying but not land.

• Animation - Change Laser_Rocket_Caster flying height to 600.00 at 500.00

It will reach to 600 height after 6/5 seconds.
But you immediately check if its height is 600 or not. Try using Wait for condition. Check if its height is 600 or greater every 0.1 seconds. Or put a wait - 6/5 seconds after you change the height then the if/then/else condition.

 

[ShadowInTheD]

Use a wait...
If not, make an if then else to check the unit's flying height, and bring it down when you need.

The explanation in Post#10 is partially correct if I understand it correctly. When changing a unit height to a certain value, say 600, the game will immediately assume that the unit's height already 600 even though the unit is 'on its way flying upwards'. Your final condition returns true and so immediately changes the fly height to zero, because the unit already has flying height of 600 right after you make it fly with rate 500.
