Making units able to move through other units

[NeuroToxin]

Give it locust and move it via triggers? What exactly are you trying to do with this? I can make you a spell in vJass if you want...
EDIT: I read your main post, give your hero crow form, then set its fly height, then just remove it, it gives it the ability to fly
OR: Simply give the unit flying ability?

 

[DioD]

this wont let unit ignore other units.

if you set unit movetype to fly it will ignore cliffs.

if you give unit locust it will become uncontrollable.

Units with Ghost (Visible) can't pass through other units, at least they won't do it on command.

If disabling collusion does not work, use Wind Walk.

@bogrim:
you were wrong about the Ghost (visible) ability.
as i posted above giving it to a unit only allows other units to walk through it, not the unit itself.

on-topic:
i'd say try permanent invisibility and check if it removes pathing. then set its cooldown to an incredibly high number.
if that doesnt work do it with windwalk and set the fading time to an incredibly high number.

I wasn't talking about any ability. I was talking about disabling collusion. I have plenty of units that move at no collusion (channeled summons and such). They still have to path around units with collusion but they can slip through any number of units. And any unit won't have problems passing through it.

Ghost (visible) is the ward ability so it's understandable that the AI isn't coded to make the unit take advantage of movement. Wind Walk and Locust are the only abilities that allow the casting unit to pass directly through other units.

Permanent invisability didn't work, and I can't use windwalk. I'll just have to stick with turning off collosion atm. Thanks for the support guys!

I can't use windwalk.

Out of curiosity, why not?

I'm making a spell like the World of Warcraft spell ''Charge''. The unit will rush towards the target unit after using the target spell Charge on it. The unit already have the maximum number of spells it can have, so if I added windwalk to it and ordered it to use it, it wouldn't have enough slots.

windwalk rune?

ps. i like threads about someone who wants to do something only way he like but anyway ask about how to do it.

There's no limit to the number of abilities a unit can have. Yes, there's a limit to how many abilities the graphic interface can display, but it doesn't affect adding an ability to a unit with a trigger and ordering it to use the spell.

However, there is a much simpler solution to your problem. Use a periodic trigger and move the unit towards the target instead of ordering the unit to move. The following calls will allow you to move a unit through other units and without interrupting its current orders:

• Actions
  • Custom script: call SetUnitX( GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationX(udg_YourPointVariable) )
  • Custom script: call SetUnitY( GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationY(udg_YourPointVariable) )

Hm, using a rune wasn't a dumb idea! I'll definetly try it, thanks for all help guys

 

[Whoareyou.]

If the rune doesn't work...
OK, so couldn't you do DioD's trigger, than make regions for the cliffs/trees that the units cant pass?

 

[Weep]

windwalk rune?

That is cool. I'd never thought about that idea. :thup:

 

[Fr3ya]

just use wind walk with 300 second Transition Time with no invisible. It worked!

note:yea i know i just reply an old post but just incase if anyone passes through this post and need this guide.
