I understand what you mean from one point to another, you must have played a maze game with a sliding unit right? i.e. LoaM?

Okay, now I understand what you want.
Tip: Don't put "instantly moving" right after "sliding", because they are the opposites of each other. And that confuses people.

What you can do is grab a jump system and make the unit "jump over" to the point.

Or grab a sliding system that can slide units directly to a point. (Mine can't, so you will have to find an other one.)

In either case, don't forget to:
  1. make the hero invulnerable
  2. Make all kill regions / the terrainkill trigger ignore him
  3. disable his unit comes within x of Demon Hunter trigger
Because the hero might touch a creep or walk over a kill region (or terrainkill) while sliding/jumping from point1 to point2

Boosting is the easy part of making a maze map, unless you don't understand triggering.

Have fun ! credit me if you use.

P.S: I was too lazy to change the visibility settings, if you want to edit them, be my guest. ;)

from were im from we call this being a smart ass, from # of posts obviously im not a retard when it comes to triggers, how would me downloading a map help me? i dont know you or know how well your triggers work, and why would i especially if 3ICE and EqualiseR could help me out with no problem and show me in full GUI how to do it? whats that its in JASS? HOLY CRAP THEY MAKE GUI EDITORS FOR JASS!!

bottom line:
this post is old and ive already gotten a much more easy solution than your map.

Post count is actually irrelevant.

Not good enough reason to not trust him.
shinning_faith wrote:know how well your triggers work
I can tell you: "Barely if at all". In the above map for example, there are separate triggers for boosting up/down/left/right/upleft/upright/downleft/downright instead of one trigger that can boost towards any angle the mapper specifies. What if I want a 30° boost? The above map can't handle that.

So true. I stopped myself from posting that (yet again) when I saw it. (To appear more friendly.)

Thanks! Not only do I get credit but I get credit for unreadable triggers.

Props to me! 8-)
