Move-Blink Ability

[l1lshadow]

I need help on making a blink spell that triggers when you order your unit to move to an area, for an example if a unit has blink and was ordered to move to a tree blink would automaticly cast and move him to the tree.

When a unit learns the skill Blink, add them to a unit group.
Then use this:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • ((Ordered unit) is in blinkGroup) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Night Elf Warden - Blink (Target point of issued order)

blinkGroup is a Unit Group variable.

 

[Waaaaagh]

you need more stuff, like condition (order == "move"), and also 'Remove From Group( unit dude) ... wait (cooldown) ... add to Group (unit dude)

The trigger didn't work.

• Blink Group
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns Spell Blink
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is iA Hero) Equal to (==) True
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to blink Group

Sigh...
I said it needed two triggers:

When a unit learns the skill Blink, add them to a unit group.
Then use this:

The trigger to add them to the group is:

• Blink Learn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Learns a skill
  • Conditions
    • (Learned Hero Skill) Equal to Blink
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Add (Learning Hero) to blinkGroup

• Blink Move
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Level of Blink for (Triggering unit)) Greater than 0
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
        • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(attack))
  • Actions
    • Set Point1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Point2 = (Target point of issued order)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between Point1 and Point2) Greater than 400.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point1 using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkCaster.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Special Effect - Create a special effect at Point2 using Abilities\Spells\NightElf\Blink\BlinkTarget.mdl
        • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
        • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to Point2
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Point1 )
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_Point2 )

Somewhat basic, but it works.
Assumes "blink" is a passive ability.
If you prefer the active way, replace the "unit - move" with an order to use Blink.

A more advanced passive version would check for some maximum distance, move the Hero some 200 before the end point and order him to (attack-)move the rest.
