Need Help in Cavalry Charge need suggestions

Well. my problem is kind of simple.
I'm making a map based on realistic medieval warfare.
I need help witch the cavalry charge issue, Because Knights simply ain't knights if they don't have a charge ability... since it was the base strategy to all successful early-medieval skirmish.
So... I know that there are a lot of knockback JESP spell I could work on... but i Simply don't have the time to learn Jass.
To does anyone has as suggestion?

What EXACTLY do you want?

The way you want it to work could vary a lot. There is no perfect way of doing cavalry charges, particularly not in WC3.

Then you're probably out of luck, pal. Unless you can find a good knockback GUI system (heh... oxymoron), you'll have to learn some JASS if you plan on using knockbacks, even if it's as simple as modifying some constants.

If you want minimal triggering, there's one solution I can think of:

Create a modified ability that gives a boost of speed to only the casting unit (like Scroll of Speed, but only for the caster). Make sure it has a buff for the duration. Then, create a trigger:


^Make sure to insert your abilities' buff name in the condition statement.

Then you can do whatever for the actions; create a Dummy Caster who casts a weak Cripple/Slow (to simulate the enemy target being really hurt) or Acid Bomb (to simulate the target getting hurt and bleeding for more damage over time), etc. Or just the "extra damage" part I put in there.

Hope that helped. :P

I would suggest adding flying to the knight ( no collision ), adding a constant push towards his angle, adding an immolation with no unit effect, but bleeding animation on affected units, and a push back on units touching the knight.

Thx for the suggestion... I Think I'll keep it as simple as:
============================================================
- Knight casts charge (give locust and order to move)
- A units comes near the charging knight (damage the unit and push them away a little giving passage or simply braking the formation)
- Knight comes in range of a defending pikeman or deployed spikes (damage the knight and stop the charge... probably kill the knight)
============================================================

EDIT: ok this is what I got so far:


comments plz
I Was tring to make a CANCELCHARGE TRIGGER:



BUT I GOT A PROBLEM!!!!
the WE isn't recognizing the Charge ability as the STOMP order string... but i checked it on the ability editor... It's simply cancel the charge every time...
The charge is working pretty well without the cancel trigger.
But i want' the charge to be cancelable.
NEED HELP GUYS!!!

I'll work on the damage and knockback latter

Don't use "Order(stomp)", use the generic preset order strings thing; you've probably just done something wrong. Either that or you changed the order string, and you can't do that because it doesn't work.

And in your first/third triggers, use "Triggering Unit" instead of "Casting Unit" and "Ordered Unit", respectively.
