Making Use Of Backstab

[Vertical]

Alright, here's what I'm trying to achieve: I want to make a 'charged' move, where you would cast it, get your pretty li'l animation/buff, and then the next thing your unit attacks would recieve an extra amount of damage, and be 'blown away'.

I haven't really thought about it too much but I'm guessing it's probably best to adjust Wind Walk and make use of the backstab feature but the thing is I can't figure out how to disable the invisibility, and ability to walk through units, that come with Wind Walk. Also, I have no clue as to how I'd get the target unit to be 'blown away' (Pushed away from the caster). I'd also like to use a horizontal tornado/cyclone birth animation as the pushing factor, if you understand what I'm trying to describe.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. (Especially with the turning the tornado animation sideways).

The only way to push units is to use WEU slide unit, or to import a push spell (Like 'Dash' from www.wc3sear.ch)

As for the damage, use triggers add a damage ability. When a unit attacks check if it has the ability, then wait a second and remove it.

ooo ooo raddy!! oh sorry, rad....
wheres the WEU slide feature at?

 

[Rad]

Something like Advanced - Unit - Slide unit to point... But I dont use WEU so if its somewhere else... whatever

oooh sweet thank you soooo much!! oh and is there away around when you have world editor limits disabled, to make something unbuildable.
so i want to be able to build on terrain. but i dont want to have to change terrain to blight to make it unbuildable... so how would i fix that?

 

[Rad]

Um, blight is buildable... You can put invisible platforms down as unbuildable.

 

[Starlite]

uhm... invisible platforms?

AHA never mind found it
