Unit Animation flying Height change

[TfauxT]

I thought of a neat trigger in which a hero could jump up and stomp on an opponent's head. The problem is I don't know how to get the height changed without making the hero have Flying movement type

This is what I've got thus far:

Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability 
(Ability being cast) Equal to Jump Attack 
Animation - Change (Casting unit) flying height to 300.00 at 1000.00
Wait 0.25 seconds
Animation - Change (Casting unit) flying height to 0.00 at 1000.00
Special Effect - Create a special effect at (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast)) using Abilities\Spells\Orc\WarStomp\WarStompCaster.mdl
Game - Display to (All players) the text: Wah Hah!

This trigger only works if I give the hero Flying movement type. I don't want him to fly over walls and cheat in the game etc. I cruised all the triggers but didn't find a solution.

Well, there is a way to stop them to fly over stuff. Tried the doodads caleld pathing blocker (Air)?

 

[TfauxT]

That would work, but placing that around the entire map would be trouble- some. If nothing else comes up to help I'll go for it. The map I got is of a pretty large size

 

[Dimaspy]

Yeah, I can imagine..
I can't find another solution anyway, I guess that's it. But someone else might have an idea.

 

[TfauxT]

Ok, thank you for the idea.

Unit - Add ability "Crow form"
Unit - Remove ability "Crow form"

After that, the "change flying height" action will work.

I was just wondering.. How can this enable the option to change the flying height of a ground unit, as it still cannot walk over cliffs..?

Never been thinking about that , and who actually discovered this useful little "bug"..

Interesting, in what way would this be useful, you say?

 

[Uberplayer]

For this neat trigger for an example. If you did that trick, you would be able to change ground units flying height.

 

[Dimaspy]

Yeah, I guess it can be useful.
But I'm sticking to the old stuff, reality check; leave the ground, fly around :nuts:

If you set the movement type to hover it will have this affect. The unit will accept flying heights but wont move over cliffs, however they will move over water.
