I've hit a touch of a road bump and I'm hoping someone will steer me into the right direction. I'm trying to make an ability that allows a unit to go much faster... ram into another unit and then do damage to itself and the unit it crashes into. I looked at unstable concoction, which fulfills most of this, except that the first unit (attacking unit dies). Is there something simple out there I just overlooked that does this, or should I try to doctor Unstable Concoction up with triggers to make it so that the unit is instantly revived (and appropriate values in multiboard, etc are changed)? Thanks for your time. Oh and one other thing, is there a way to make a cold attack that freezes a unit for a period of time, BUT if that unit that is frozen is attacked during that time, the freeze wears off. I haven't played with the latter yet, it just popped in my head. Thanks! |

Afraid that I'm not very well wandered in unstable concontions, but for the latter, it seems to me that an edited Sleep spell, with the art replaced and all, wouldn't suit to bad, would it? |

Ramming Spell:Give them an ability with nothing. When this spell is casted, under triggers make it so that the unit turns to nuetral hostile, is ordered to attack the unit who the spell was casted on, and increase the speed of the unit to XXXXX. make it so when nutral hostile attacks a unit, inflict dmg to both of them. then somehow make it so whenever the nuetral hostile attacks, give it back to the original owner(however you do that) Freeze Spell:Cast Sleep and make it so when sleep is casted, make an ice thing form around the person being casted upon |

Yea, i got that sleep thing right before I crashed last night... as for the other... i dunno about that neutral hostile gig... I'll have to look around. Thanks for the help so far... I'll still keep workin on it, and i'll post it here when I'm done. |

You could base it off something as simple as firebolt. Make a firebolt spell, modify its allowed targets, give the spell a range equal to how close you want the unit to be. Once it begins casting, you'll give the casting unit a speed bonus to charge after the target, and when it finishes casting you'll run the trigger that will do the effects via a trigger. Only real qualm is I don't believe selecting a spell/target triggers "a unit begins casting an ability." |

i shouldve mentioned, you want it to become nuetral hostile so it WILL hit the target and cannot be moved by the player, lol. now, this might not work, but i made the above last night, and now its morning, so i have ideas ^_^ lol EVENT A unit cast a spell CONDITION Casted spell=XXX ACTION Turn casting unit into nuetral hostile and DO NOT change colors Change speed of casting unit to XXX Command casting unit to attack-move to the unit being casted on EVENT When a unit attacks CONDITION Attacking unit = Nuetral Hostile ACTION Inflict XXX dmg to attacking unit Inflict XXX dmg to attacked unit Change the attacking unit to Owner of the unit color (dont know if this above is possible, buts just so you know, its to give the unit back to the original player since colors wherent suposed to change before anyway) Hope this helps you, or if it doesnt work, i hope it gives ideas???sry if this didnt help, and if you need to, i could try to add the names for all the triggers so its easier for you |

Directly changing the speed if confined to certain restrictions and limitations. Using an ability will probably yield better results. |

ya, but the question is, how??which ability does all this?he doesnt want "unstable concoction", since that makes the unit insatnly die |
