Removing movment from a unit via trigger.

The Trigger needs another command or two.

When the unit casts the spell "land" it stops, then proceeds to lower itself to just above the ground. Then it enables load/unload abilities. I want it to have some realistic characteristics. The wait time of 8 seconds is there to give time for the craft to land.

However it moves to load and unload. I want it to not move from its position when either the load/unload ability is selected or when you right click on it with units in the selection.

I do not want it to move until "take off" (another spell) is used - causing the unit to rise into the air and gain speed over a period of time.

At the point where I have Unit - ??? I have tried:

Unit - Set (Casting unit) movement speed to -1.00

and

Animation - Change (Casting unit)'s animation speed to 0.00% of its original speed

I've also tried pause unit - however then the unit will not load/unload.

Hold and stop work, until you right click or use the load/unload at a distance from the unit, then the unit begins to move.

I want it to stay put, I want land units to have to run to it, not it run to meet them. Like going to an airport, you go to the plane the plane does not come to you.

Any suggestions are welcomed.

what abuot making another unit that it replaces with no movement type ;)

Just pause it for 8 seconds.

Will a loaded unit or loaded units shift over the the moving zeppelin?

Custom Script: call UnitRemoveAbility(udg_NameOfGlobalUnitVariable, 'Amov')
then
Custom Script: call UnitAddAbility(udg_NameOfGlobalUnitVariable, 'Amov')

should work. (removes the move ability)

I didn't think you could re-add move.

Ah.

NameOfGlobalUnitVariable would be what exactly? Do I have to assign a variable to the zeppelins (which are customized units)?

Or would I use a variation of "casting unit" in that trigger?

You'd do something like this:
And then this:
You could also just do this: Custom Script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetTriggerUnit(), 'Amov').

Erm, since when can you readd move?

That's what I wanted to know.

Sorry it has been so long for my reply.

I tried the Amov custom script and it never worked - the remove part worked, but the adding Amov just did not work.

Tinkering with the trigger and the Zeppelin I finally got something that works.

In my object editor I Made minimum movement speed 1 and maximum 200.

Then I have my land and take off triggers:



Having set the movement speed so low the Zeppelin just does not move or perhaps it is just moving so slowly as to look like its not moving at all.

I'm just posting this for the edification of others.

Another solution would be a custom ensnare ability with infinite duration. You could create a dummy to cast it on the zep when it lands and remove the buff for it to lift off. That would have the nice side effect of not allowing slowing abilities to bring units to a halt in your map.

once again Night Elf Root ability pawnz ^^ 'Aro1'
