Making a unit 'run' over cliffs

[shiFt]

Im trying to make a spell where a unit charges to a target point but is able run over cliffs while charging, so it literally runs in a straight line ignoring pathing of the map.

How can I do this, Ive tried making it flying but it looks too unrealistic to be running, and Ive tried a struct to set it with an xy offset,but I cant get the running animation to loop though. Any help?

call SetUnitPathing(Unit, false)

Ive tried this, it still follows the paths, whereas I want it to take the shortest possible route , over the cliffs and terrain etc.

        call UnitAddAbility(unit,'Amrf')
call UnitRemoveAbility(unit,'Amrf')
call SetUnitPathing(unit,false)

?

Tried making unit fly with no collision and a default height, still doesnt work.

What about:

//On activation
DisableTrigger(thisTrigger)
IssueImmediateOrder(unit,"stop")
EnableTrigger(thisTrigger)
SetUnitAnimation(unit,"walk")
//...

//Periodically:
SetUnitX(unit,x+Cos(facing)*10)
SetUnitX(unit,x+Sin(facing)*10)
//...

I've tested the method I posted and it worked fine. :|
