[Trigger] Attaching units

[FearFigmen]

Basically, What I'm trying to do is have one unit "attach to the other". Not exactly permanantly, but until the player detaches them with input.

The scenario is one unit, unit A, will use an item that creates another unit, unit B. After unit B appears, Unit A "attaches itself" such that it is in the same location as Unit B, even if unit B is told to move, stop, etc...

The way I have this done right now is when Unit B appears, Unit A's collision is turned off, and every .02 seconds or whatever, Unit A is instantly moved to unit B. It works, but Unit B's movement is very choppy and sometimes stops altogether when told to move.

There must be a better way to do this. btw, they must both be ground units (no flying).

Is this for Cinematics or normal trigger on custom map ?
Make the unit A as locust unit ?
Locust unit still retains its model you know, the only problem is, you can't select/click on that unit anymore until you remove the Locust ability from that unit

Use

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_u2 , GetUnitX(udg_u1) )
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_u2 , GetUnitY(udg_u1) )

You may have to turn collision off for both units.

Locust's effects can't be removed from units.

Simple, save both units as array variables(or in a Hashtable, but I like arrays better), use a periodic trigger to constantly move Unit A to Unit B, whilst checking the angle and so.
I can try do this if you'd like.

Normal trigger

>Make the unit A as locust unit ?
I would prefer not to have to make Unit A a locust unit but it is a possibility. I would have to use dummy units for my desired outcome

>You may have to turn collision off for both units.
I've done this and it does work, but I dont want Unit B in my scenario to be able to move through trees, walls, etc..

>I can try do this if you'd like.
If you have the time that would be very appreciated
