Unit flying height help

[Dois]

I'm trying to use the trigger to change the units' flying height but it doesn't work.

The unit is a circle of power modified to be a unit instead of a building and to have movement type as "fly" with no movement speed (tried changing flying height with the unit having movement speed, no dice...) and it has a default flying height of 250. Minimum was 250 as well and when I took away the minimum I still couldn't change the flying height(With triggers).

Anyone?

Add the Crow Form ability to the unit, and then remove it, and you will see a MIRACLE (= "Change flying height" will work)

sorry but ive tried that and... no miracle!

unless im misunderstanding what ur saying...

What im doing is giving it crow form, then taking it away straight away, then trying to change the flying height...

doesn't work =(

You give it crow form, change the flying height, then take it away.

> You give it crow form, change the flying height, then take it away

Actually, it works just fine when taking it away immediately after adding it...


> doesn't work

"It doesn't work" is not a very good problem description.

Trigger problems are best helped with by posting said triggers.

I think movement speed needs to be at least 1 for it to work.

 

[Romek]

You could try giving the circle "hover" movement type, and then try it.

tried it with movement speed.. doesnt work..

also, it was initially hover. then i thought maybe it needed to be flying so ive changed to to flying..

anyway this is the trigger

When its running, the flying height doesn't change or I'm blind or something. Or im using the "Change flying height" wrongly.

The default flying height for the circle is 250.

Did this special effect played successfully?

And you need to change the minimum movement height to zero and base ms to at least 1 (as suggested by DrinkSlurm).

 

[l-hate_you]

Try adding and removing crow form in the actual fly height trigger right before it changes the flying height. Also of course the movement speed thing, thats were ive been stuck up on before.

 

[foodflare]

change 'Movement - Height' right above 'Movement - Height minimum'
and keep movement type as fly

 

[Dois]

thanks guys

it works now.

ive experimented abit and yes, it needs at least 1 movement speed and the minimum flying height matters...

also, it can use movement type - hover and the adding/removing of crow form can be left @ map initialization
