Blink type spell

[Ultimatony]

I have a blink type spell that moves the unit to the position of the targeted unit, but it's always to the south of the other unit, how would I tell it to move the unit to the opposite side of target, from where caster is coming from?


so Caster = O
Target = U
Appear point = B

-O-------------U-B

Another example:

--------------B---
------------U-----
------------------
------------------
------O----------

Currently it works like,
D where unit ends up now.

--O----------U
-------------D

Thanks for any info, btw I don't know jass

Maybe you should try this:

• Blink
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CASTER = (Casting unit)
    • Set TARGET = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set POINT = ((Position of TARGET) offset by 50.00 towards ((Facing of TARGET) - 180.00) degrees)
    • Unit - Pause CASTER
    • Unit - Move CASTER instantly to POINT, facing (Position of TARGET)
    • Unit - Unpause CASTER
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_POINT)

This is behind the target and facing the target if you want this =O

Thanks for the help,
What is the purpose of pause/unpause?

I don't know but somehow I remember, if you use your ability without this pause / unpause stuff, the ability has no cooldown. .. or was this (wait 0.01 seconds) at the beginning. I don't know =P just check it out what happend ^^

And btw: This nothing against you but don't forget to give + rep for helping. ( I already miss many +rep ... )

I give rep after testing, asked before test.

Works great, thanks!

I have it without the pause, it works fine cooldown and all, unless someone can give a reason why I should use pause.

Note: To anyone using this post to help you, I did end up adding "Pause unit" and "Unpause Unit" because I found there was a problem with the cooldown, the cooldown worked fine if i targeted an enemy, but if it was an ally, there was no cooldown. After adding the pause/unpause triggers the abilities cooldown worked as intended.
