I want to make an ability like Kerrigan's Psionic Strike but with a fixed range; in other words, when Kerrigan uses the ability to dash, she moves from a 0.1 to 8 range in relation to the mouse distance from the unit. What I want is making the unit move of 8 tiles even if the mouse target is pointed close to the unit.
So I copied the Lighning Dash ability from Artanis but I still don't understand how to make the range fixed. Can I have a template map or at least a step by step solution?

Use a Create Persistent as the first effect.

The first effect is already a create persistent, but I don't know how to set the thing up.
Use an offset of the first periodic effect.

Tried but the unit doesn't move at all.
Here's the structure more or less:
Psi Strike - Create Persistent with offsets (0,1,0|0,2,0|0,3,0|0,4,0|0,5,0|0,6,0|0,7,0), period count 7, period duration 0.0625
Starting effect: Apply Psi Strike Speed
Final effect: Remove Psi Strike Speed
Periodic effect: Psi Strike Caster Apply Force (Quantity -10, location Psi Strike: target point)
What's wrong?
I would use either a Launch Missile effect or Apply Kinetics effect to move the unit.

@alfx01: Go
I believe theres a flag in the ability itself that is somethimg like "clamp to max range," I think that's what you're looking for

There's no such flag.
He is referring to the Force to Max flag found under the Effect: Cursor Range Mode field.
