I am trying to make the ability blink be able to blink you anywhere. I got it working in phase one, but now it will only take me the minimum range again even though I changed nothing when I opened it after updating. (patch 16 #2) I was wondering if anyone had any idea how I could fix this if possible.
could just make a button with an icon/name blink then when its clicked run a trigger to move a point to mouse cords x,y then transport unit there and then create actor at point (blink or an explosion or w/e).
Make an ability with an effect target ability (or just doublicate the normal blink of the stalkers) set the range to 500. Then you can blink over the whole map. If you also want to blink into regions you haven't vision to... then you have to change uncheck visible for the teleport effect target validation.
I already did that, but I have view of the whole map anyway. The problem is it says any spot out of normal range which I changed to 500 is incorrect placement.
It was originally buggy, but I fixed almost all the bugs. Its not much except custom units because I was just testing the editor so theres not many complex things to fix. The error is can't find placement location. Heres the map in case you need to check. As for copying I did it before after making a large mistake (not using custom mods and using the base mods) so I'd rather not do it again.
I had this problem too with my custom Blink ability, I fixed it by ..... er how did i fix it...... one sec
EDIT: Ok yeah I removed the blink effect attatched to the ability. My blink is run by trigger cause i need to restrict where you're able to blink. If you'd like I can make a map with an example of how to make a blink trigger
Okay last one worked! Thanks for all your help guys.
Also, Alec0124, I would love a blink trigger map. I had been trying to get it to work, but I'm not the greatest with triggers though I can do simple-ish things.

Can you give me an example please? I have been trying to do it, but I can't seem to get it right.
??? Why the hell a trigger for that ???

I already tried that and it didn't work. It worked in phase 1, but not anymore.
@ChaosEternal: Go
Its not really target validation. Its called teleport flags now. Uncheck "test fog" to blink into fog of war

If its a map youre fixing from phase 1, better delete it and start duplicating again. Its really buggy. If not, what exactly is the error message ?

You still got your placement range of the teleport effect at 8, set it back to 500. It should work now
