I learned to use it with 0 help. Basicaly took me about 4 years to master by simply testing the mechanics one by one. Then I found the hive workshop and downlaod cheroes kits to analyse yheir abilites and understand the editor more. Tutorials are really helpfull anyways. (God using integres ;_; took me along time to understand)

Lykrast: For knockups you can use a dummy ability version of the Criptlord impale abilty.It works perfectly and you can change the graphs, how high the enemy is thrown in the air and for how long it stays there, even if you want or not to the target to get slowed at fall, or if it takes damage, you can also edit the length of the impale so dat is so small that it only affects one unit. Pretty neat the only probable donwside is that the unit takes damage at cast, not at fall. I'm assuming you know how to use dummis 'cause dat is probably the most basic part of creating- event editing in war3..

Shields are ****** to  makes, takes me about 1 hour of coding to get them working and another hour to make their values scale with whatever. Very complicated to explained here however, but you can literaly google it
