          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

i cant find the problem in the trigger....no matter "in" which GreenLightDummy i run i dont get ported although the units are set correctly (debug message test).

if it would work it should do the following :
in every section of the puzzle are 3 of the GreenLightDummys and just one port you to the next section (MTPPoint[X]) the 2 others shall port you to the start (MTPPoint[0]). the GreenLightDummy 0461 <gen> is the in the final section porting you nack to the beginning to get out again.


thanks in advance

• Set TempPoint2 = (Position of DummyGreenLight 0461 <gen>)

Why are you specifically setting this one?

Just the first observation; reading your code will take a little longer since the formatting is messed up.

• Set TempPoint2 = (Position of DummyGreenLight 0461 <gen>)

Why are you specifically setting this one?

i first check whether its this special GreenLightDummy because its (like i already said in the OP) the light in the final section porting you back to the beginning of the puzzle....theres no other way out.

 

[rulerofiron99]

Try increasing the range you use for the distance check.

Sometimes even though a unit comes in range of something, it might not be considered to be within 50 distance. I think the event includes collision size, while the distance check is center-to-center.

 

[claptomanic]

increased the range of both checks to 200 and still its not working....


any other suggestions?

Lemmie make a testmap quick.

This works fine, just mind the leaks and such.

Small amendment: move the unit back in the Else section.

thanks ruler.

got it to work....had to change the last check range to 250 to make it work Oo strange but okay.

+rep for the help

EDIT: and again i have to spread -.- that sucks ....sorry
