Like locust ability

[l1lshadow]

Hi, I want to make a spell that's pretty much like the locust ability except I want it to be passive and make the units to follow the unit with the ability since I am making another ability that creates units from corpse and I don't know where to start making this locust-like ability, any ideas?

To my knowledge, you can't make a Locust-like ability with any means of customizing it. For one, Locust is already passive. Also, I'm not really sure what units you are talking about here. It could be possible to order these units to follow the unit that has the locust ability....

Sorry thats not what I meant, I mean a spell that automatically makes a certain unit follow the hero with the spell, so when the unit is spawned it will follow the hero.

That would probably have to be triggered.

How much like Locust Swarm do you really want it to be? It could be as simple as Order (Unit) to Follow (Unit with ability), or as complex as a sliding system that would allow for the smooth looping motion of Locust Swarm...

A simpler question might be, what exactly do you want the behavior of the units following the caster to be?

I dont know what will happen...

What will happen if the duration of the skill is set to 0?
Or just make it 9999 seconds (i think i will change into 3600)

something like dota's echantress' wisp heal is a triggered locust, i think. (at least i think so cuz it bugs a lot)

but if he did trigger it, it does require a lot of math and probably easier in jass

No its just locust with a heal ability. Its not triggerd

 

[cleeezzz]

i didn't know locust bugged like that, his wisps always get stuck somewhere.
