I rekon you photo shopped it, (jokes btw) ~ Steak

Clearly relating to the implode power...

Unfortunately being a vanilla player I don't have enough imploding experience to guess.

reduce building HP?

Very smart.

What you've done is had implode invoked around units, and then while the units are in the air, you've had them converted to buildings

I like your thinking.

Wonder if it works for tornado.

Ooo very clever!

Very nice, newreach.

yep AdZyZ wins
you need to wait till the units are under the effect of the implodes pull effect, but befor they are in the sphere. 5 seconds after you invoke implode is normally the right time.
then as they are buildings they cant go in the sphere, so fly around it in an esentric mannor. (also as thier buildings the implode effect (that of the roof bits flying off) still happens but not the streching.
However because the sphere is pulling a unit it can never do the explosion part. this keeps the buildings flying around. However implode has a time limit (in the same way as if you invoked it in an area will 100's of units it would eventually just explode) and after about 60 seconds, the buildings drop to the ground. However this is still long ehough for some "interesting" effects in cinematics.

try -
- changing units to different buildings to create a floating city
- changing them to different types of rocks to make an asteroid field.

I like this idea.

I'm going to test it more =P

This is a nice effect, good find.

Can you train units out of the buildings?

Cool

further results:
- buildings can still train units, and these units are NOT drawn into the implosion.
- buildings can still use any ranged attacks they have.
- tornados do NOT work, as they involve the units being dead.

Nice! You can get implode to last for ages by making it try and suck up a bird or an avalanche. The avalanche for example refuses to actually enter the implode but goes round and round it. This makes the implode last for severall minuites which is plenty of time to add some interesting effects.

It is good that people OTHER than me are finding stuff. I m still finding stuff but it is link to commands at the moment. Triggers wise, I am not really concentrating on them.

Here are 2 flying puzzles for you.

(1)Make ruins float mysteriously in the editor without using god powers or knocking units. (This one is very hard and people are unlikely to get this one)

(2)Make a fire giant fly in the air in the editor without leaving the editor or any other additional setting up. This has to be on a blink map with the unit on it's wn and you are not allowed to place them! (People have more chance of getting this one)

nottud is the lord and master you n00b!!11!1one

Anyway good trick. I'll give a cooky to a person who can find a use to it. When nottud discovers something, he puts it into a scenario!

Very cool. I will certainly find a use for this.

glad your all enjoying it

Updated first post with all details from topic.

Nottud, the answer to both of those is Random Map Scripting.

Im kinda seeing some sort of weird scenario coming out of this...
Somewhat of a music chairs/thing

high elevation, place unit, pause editor, lower elevation.
does that count?

it's quite interesting.. you can actually see the buildings go spinning around very fast in the implosion centre.

With further testing, I found if you convert stretched buildings into units, there is no effect, but they are not affected by sucking in of the implode. Maybe you could make units that just simply aren't affected by it.

Also, if buildings are stretched, and then changed into another building, the new building is stretched just as much as the original.

Yeh, it doesnt work for tornados, but I wonder about mid-air changing with shockwave? hmm.

it would work with tornado if you used the units not dying trick. and i found a different way which i only tested with implode spheres placed. turn it sideways and click an arrow in the position units menu. obviously you need reyk's new X editor or e ven teh new editor 9.5 it could work in.

The answer to ruins one is random map scripting but not the fire giant one.

The won't work for what I know but I havn't tried tht. Anyway, that is not the answer.

Can a Mod please change the title to "the flying buildings and units" as i chose to update this guide as they have simular premises.

Yup.
