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.
