[Trigger] Attack hits point once Target Reaches it

[Gost]

Alright, first off yes that is a sloppy title... but I'm to tired to think of a better name so anyways:

Alright I have a hero unit whos attacks do not home in, so if you moving left to right in front of my hero he will miss most of the time. I have been rolling it over in my head for almost 2 hours now and I just don't know how I would do it.

I need the formula to issue an order targeting a point ahead of a target so that once the target reaches it the bullet will also hit that point simotaniously. You can just type it out but I will be using this trigger to issue the order:

• Unit - Order (Attacking unit) to Attack Ground (Point offset by 256.00 towards 0.00 degrees)

Just for simplicity's sake here is a list of variables you can refer things as so everyones solution is more... interchangeable/understandable.

[A] = Position of Attacking Unit
= Position of Attacked Unit
[C] = Speed of Attacked Unit
[D] = Speed of Bullet
[E] = Distance Between Attacking unit and Attacked Unit

EDIT: For this formula you can assume the target unit is moving straight forward the whole time.
In addition, you can use variables that are not in the list above.

wait, what do you want out of this exactly? Why not just make the attack homing?

If you give a unit a "Missile-Splash" attack that does not home in, it will automatically try to predict the unit's movement and fire at that spot.

I want it like this because then I can change how acurate the units attacks are depending on variables. so if they get a sniper rifle I can increase there accuracy.

Dont use a order, use move unit instantly, its the best way for such a thing.

And such a bullet system is not hard. And just a straight fly with collision detection? Want me to do a spell like that for you? Want deacceleration or the bullet? want different impact strengths? piercing shots? whatever.

I could do a bullet system, not that hard. Only hard if you want a correct Z calculation.

Well I can make a bullet system like that aswell, but how do you detect when the bullet collides witha unit/tree?

Bullet system is done under Spell Section under Pending.
