Two Blink-Like Skills

Well, it is my first post here; greetings. I've stumbled upon a bit of curiosity on two similar skills and how they work. I'm not asking for a every-step way how to do them, but just suggestions. I am pretty sure there are a plethora of paths to recreate this skill, so I'd like to hear how you would do it. I don't have definate names for the skills, so I'll just describe them to you folks.

Note: Both of these skills can go through doodads and height differences as blink can.


[First Skill]
- Unit starts at point_a.
- Unit uses skill.
- Unit selects target point: point_b; anywhere on the ground within range.
- Unit is teleported using the blink skill.
- Unit stands at point_b, unable to move unit clone catches up.
- A clone of the unit with no collision walks from point_a to point_b
- Anything the hollow clone walks through sustains damage.
- Clone dissapears at where the unit is standing.

I suspect an altered version of Tauren Chieftain Shockwave mixed with Blink, but I question, how does the shockwave stop at the exact spot where the unit is now standing (point_b)?



[Second Skill]
- Unit starts at point_a.
- Unit uses skill.
- Unit selects target point: point_b; anywhere on the ground within range.
- Unit, or what appears to be the unit loses collision, is dubbed unclickable (probably Locust) and unable to be attacked.
- Unit walks from point_a to point_b with a dragging effect*[0].
- Etheraled Unit damages any enemies in it's path with a blood splatter effect on contact.
- Unit becomes clickable and sustainable to damage at point_b.
*[0] := The dragging effect is similar to the High Templar's from Starcraft:



My guess is that the unit is put into a "raven form" from the Druid of the Talon's skill, and set invulnerable with the Locust skill. Not sure about the damage/blood splatter.

I thank everyone for their help, and feel free to ask about anything if there are any insecurities or discrepancies.

both of these skills are something like from fangorams skill in aotz >.> shredder and execute the weak.

Does anyone have any ideas how to recreate them then?

Jass would be the only working, option. For top quality.
I could re-create them if you wanted me too.
It could take maybe a day per spell, but the summer holidays have began for me today.

It seems you could make them in gui, just for the first one after the unit casts blink pause or stun the caster, create a clone and order it to move to point b, then I think you can turn on a trigger if a unit comes within so much range of clone damage it with how much you want, then just kill clone when it reaches point b and unpause unit

For second one to do your drag effect you turn on a periodic time event of .01 and use instantly Move unit instantly to Position of unit offset by 5.00 towards Angle from Point_a to point_b degrees

Well, thought about the GUI, but as The)TideHunter( pointed out, it is indeed inefficent and sloppy. I shall try a Jass approach, though Jass is completely new to me (In other words, I have no idea where to start). I'll start RTFMing today, and hopefully overcome my noviceness.

Thanks.
