Hero leaving flower trail behind him...possible?

I want to make an effect to make my hero leave a trail of flowers behind him whenever he moves. These flowers MUST dissapear(if not fade) after 3 seconds... Is this possible?

sure, anythings possible, it would look best with an effect that you could create wherever hes standing every .2 seconds and clear the point..but you would have to get a flowery effect model if you cant make one.

Do tell me how to do this properly...I just tried to make a trigger for this and well...it doesn't work. I am 90% sure that my trigger is damn wrong.

Best way would be to create a unit with the flower doodad model and the locust ability. Then have a global trigger which creates one of these flower units at the location of the hero every .2 seconds or somesuch and gives them a 3 second expiration timer. You'll need to dress it up in variables and custom script to remove memory leaks too.

Can you give me at least a trigger guide on how to do this? All I can see is a destructible - create destructible thingy...Don't know much about scripting yet...

Did he say anything about a destructible?

Create a unit, give it a flower model, give it the locust ability.

Every .2 seconds create that flower unit at position of the hero with a timer that expires itself after x seconds.

Here is a working trigger, but remember, the Flower Model Unit must have its model as the flower you want to go behind the hero.
You also need a variable called TempPoint, and variable type is Point.

How to do:
- Get your flower model.
- Create a trigger which fires every ~0.2 seconds
- Create your flower effect wait 3 seconds destroy the effect (in case you want it fading, you must use a moddel which has a fading death anim or use units instead)
Note: This can be done easily with jass without any problems nor lag (if the flowermodel polycount is decent).

Possible way: Make your hero use a custom model and add some "footprint leavers" (I have no clue how to do it, but should be possible)

you could achieve the efect you want by replicating it from illidan's burning footprints

Hey tidehunter, what's the purpose of these two lines?

So that the unit with the flower model will be created where on the unit you want it

Isn't it LastCreatedUnit (not lastCreatedUnit)?

he used a bj_lastCreatedUnit

How exactly do I even do this? I tried the Tide Hunter's trigger...i'm still...well...working on it...

It isn't required, to my knowledge. Since temp point has the x and y of the unit, and you create it at that point, you should not have to then move it to the same point. Unless there is some glitch I'm not aware of.
