Hello, im trying to make a spell similar to Burrow Strike. Ive made one, and it works for the most part, but if you cast the spell, then try to move right before casting it, the hero moves to the center of the map.

The spell is just impale and a trigger that moves the caster to the point of the ability being cast with an animation to play the crypt lords "unburrow" animation.

My trigger looks like this.

I have the Wait action there because if it isnt, the impale art doesnt show up, or even appear to cast. Also, if I were to put in a hide/unhide action, it makes the player de-select the hero, and I don't want that.

I've tried using the search tool, i only found one thread, and it helped me only to this stage. Is there another way of making a "Burrow Strike"? If so could someone please give me a step by step text guide and/or a guide map.

Also, if this is the wrong section, i dont know how to post anywhere else, when i try to post in the Spells/Tutorial Repository/Systems, Triggers and Demo Maps sections, I get this message:

Sorry but I'm new and trying to figure how to properly use this epic site.
Thanks

Try changing Casting Unit to Triggering Unit.

edit: the correct forum to post this in would just be the World Editor Help forum.

k i know i shouldn't post here but here is how do do it the right way

Trigger:
  • borrow
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Impale
    • Actions
      • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)
      • Set Borrow_Caster = (Triggering unit)
      • Set Borrow_Point = (Target point of ability being cast)
      • Wait 0.07 seconds
      • Unit - Move Borrow_Caster instantly to Borrow_Point
      • Animation - Play Borrow_Caster's morph,defend animation
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Borrow_Point)
      • Set Borrow_Caster = No unit
      • Trigger - Turn on (This trigger)

Borrow_Caster = is unit variable
Borrow_Point = is point variable
if you don't use Borrow_Point as the exact name of the var with caps and all you must chance here :"RemoveLocation(udg_Borrow_Point)" so the name of the var is exactly the same as this
but only one hero can cast it in 0.07 seconds but that is not an problem :)

the problem with this is that impale does not only impale to the target point but the full range. so you have to create different levels with different ranges and use the most fitting one.

    Actually I was just playing with having some kind of mention of the food forum and recipes on the main page to test and see if it would engage some of those people to post something. It is just weird to get so much traffic and no engagement
  • The Helper The Helper:
    So what it really is me trying to implement some kind of better site navigation not change the whole theme of the site
  • Varine Varine:
    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
