Need someone good with GUI to modify a spell

[redhybrid]

Hi guys i need help making a tweak to an existing GUI Jetpack spell (credits: base by Paladon, made MUI by Moridin)

Details:
When the jetpacking unit jumps in the air, commands cannot be issued to it for about 1.5 seconds or so, similar to when (priestess of the Moon leaps in Dota). This 'uncontrollable' time is fine when a unit jumps the maximum jetpack distance (~900 range), the 'travelling unit' time will have just finished when the unit lands.

But when the unit jumps anything less than the max jetpack range, it will still have to wait the full 1.5 or so seconds of 'travelling time'. This is especially obvious when the unit only jumps a very short (100-200) range, it will be stuck on the spot and cannot be controlled for the 1.5 seconds.

I would like it so the 'travelling time' ends and the unit can be controlled again once the unit reaches its destination.

Thanks in advance

calculate the time by dividing the full traveled range by the speed.

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that i cannot find the variable that controls the 'travelling time' and thus need someone to look at the actual map triggers for me. Sorry for not mentioning this earlier.

Will take a look at it later if it's not done by then.

Btw, I didn't make it MUI, Paladon's original is MUI. All I did was edit the animations and the input data.

I'm not 100% sure, probably something like 80% if is this what you're searching correct me if I'm wrong.

EDIT: JD_SpeedUnit = JDA_SpeedUnit (this you can found in ability example trigger, which is 15. ), with this formula you can math the distance and the 'time'.

Thanks Laiev, but I still can't figure out which of the variables controls the timeframe is which the unit is 'uncommandable' :banghead: I tried I changing 'realtimer' to JD_Distances[JD_Integers[3]] / JD_SpeedUnits[JD_Integers[3] but that just screwed it up so i changed it back..

If you want to remove the pause unit, is the first trigger in that map, the trigger check if unit have buff, if true, pause, if not, unpause, checking every 0,1 sec

i tried adding your suggestion into the first trigger, and it did not work. Also, i tried adding 2 new lines to Jump system 2, and the "unpause" does nothing, i think this is because it the unit was never being paused, but somehow one of the other triggers is making it uncommandable..

Would you be able to post the edited map or the exact lines i have to add so i can just copy and paste it into the map??
I just want it so that if the unit can start moving immediately after he lands instead of being stuck for a while, if you test the map you will understand exactly what i am talking about.

Thanks alot

I just spent another 2 hours messing with both the JD_HighSettings and JDA_Highjump_Distance and that didn't seem to have any effect on the 'paused' unit, if this helps..
