== Infinite Money Glitch ==

== No Item Cooldown Glitch (Old versions only) ==

In old versions of WC3, if you transfer items between heroes they lose their cooldown, and if you target an item somewhere, and then move another item into the slot of the item you are targeting with, you will use the item in the slot that you originally targetted . I haven't tested the following, but according to patch notes it also works if you just drop and pick up or sell and buy items.

== Displacement Glitches ==

One thing to note: At least in new versions of Wc3 (idk about old ones), displacement glitches do not allow you to go up or down cliffs (not even if there is a ramp connecting them).

Summoning units causes displacement.

There are

In old versions of Warcraft 3, workers turn off pathing when instructed to gather lumber. This allows for displacement glitches. Ordering the worker to do something else will displace the worker, and alternatively when the worker reaches a tree it turns pathing on, meaning that the next time a unit under has a pathing update, it will be displaced. In new versions, worker pathing is a very tricky thing indeed.

== Healing ward glitch ==

Healing wards can be sort of "displaced" but not really displaced. This can grant vision. It's sort of weird how it works, I haven't looked into it. Watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jrn5M-yytdk

−	If a missile is in the air (such as rokhan's glaive) and is about to kill a hero as a cinematic starts, the hero will die during the cinematic and will respawn at the ordinary spawnpoint. This is useful when the spawn point changes automatically after a required cutscene and your heroes get teleported around, so that you can teleport to a specific spawn point. For example, when saving Bairne.

		+
		+	Also, in the last human mission ROC, there is a trigger that periodically gives Mal'ganis ankhs of reincarnation, to make him 'invincible'. If you kill him repeatedly rapidly enough, he will die anyway, and an ankh will repeatedly and periodically spawn on the ground where he died. Works in the current patch (1.27a). Pretty useless but cool anyway.
		+
		+	== Quicksave ==
		+
		+	Also, if you press F6, you can quicksave. I believe this can be used in old game versions to save after a mission has ended (although I haven't tried that yet), judging by the patch notes. I was trying to really quickly press the hotkey sequence to do it, but it would be much easier just by pressing F6. You can also do this to ever so slowly ignore a cutscene, because you can always save just before the cutscene starts and the next time the cutscene will start a little bit later. If you press Alt-f4, you can pause during a cutscene, which stops the camera from moving and stops fadein/fadeout (It asks whether you want to quit). None of this is useful though :(.

+Unit creation causes displacement (through triggers or normal spawn). Note that in normal spawn, the unit will appear at whichever corner of the building is closest to the rally point. Unit creation displacement from building is centred on the building and not the spawn point.
