Short Cloak with no energy cost

[BebopJelli]

Trying to make a cloaking ability that will be put on a zealot to activate at the same time charge would (the zealot won't have both charge and the cloak, but i want it to activate when charge would), have the same cooldown, be auto cast like charge is, and only last one or two seconds.

I'm very new with this editor and can barely make a new unit much less an ability so this is very difficult for me.

I tried duplicating the ghost's personal cloaking and going from there but I'm not sure i know which things are needed to be duplicated (such as decloak as the ability i want does not need to be deactivated).

Thanks in advance!

Assuming your skill level is low, I suppose you can make charge so it makes the unit invisible instead of making him move faster.

Go to data editor, behaviors and in the search type "charging" and pick "zealot- charging" from the protoss folder.
(if you wanted to know, the ability "zealot - charge" just uses an "apply buff" effect to apply this behavior buff that does most of the work)

It's just a buff so you can do whatever you want, it's very customizable.

With all of the orange buttons at the top pressed in except "view raw data" double click on "modifications +" and go to movement and set "movement speed multiplier" to 1. That's so the effect does not make units move fast.

Now for the cloaking part: again go to "modifications +" and click on "behavior" button then go down to state flags and find cloak in the list and enable it.

Voila, you have a cloaking charge-lot.

Well your question was well asked so heres a little + rep so that you can get started, Adovid. It is very helpful for someone to tell their problem in an understandable way as well as their general skill level. bebop did a very good job explaining that as well. Kudos.
