Building capturing system

[Qrom Bellascream]

So, I have this trigger that whenever a building is destroyed, it creates a copy of that unit for the unit that destroyed it. I have just one problem, the building moves after being created again? Heres the trigger

• BUILDING CAP
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Dies
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is A structure) Equal to True
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Not equal to Ancient Ruins
    • ((Triggering unit) belongs to an ally of (Owner of (Killing unit))) Not equal to True
  • Actions
    • Unit - Remove (Triggering unit) from the game
    • Unit - Create 1 (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) for (Owner of (Killing unit)) at (Position of (Triggering unit)) facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Set life of (Last created unit) to 25.00%
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect attached to the origin of (Last created unit) using Abilities\Spells\Other\Levelup\LevelupCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)

I bet, this is because the old pathing is not removed yet, before the new one is placed there. You have to wait for at least 0. seconds to make it work.

Hide the old unit, then remove the old unit, then create the new unit.
(Dont forget to fix your location leak.)

I did just that, but is still moves a little bit

 

[Wietlol]

Even without it, it should work to remove and place a new one without problems.

Check the test map, just select a building and press [esc]

Ahh, now I see why it didn't work. There were melee units attacking it so they're really close. Any way to bypass this?

 

[Wietlol]

Just make a nice knockback effect when it is taken

SetUnitX and Y of the building. It will ignore pathing.

SetUnitX and Y of the building. It will ignore pathing.

yet this doesn't work with buildings.

You could hide the killing unit, then unhide it

 

[pOke]

Ah, you're right. For it to work you'd have to give the unit movement by default and then remove it after you've moved it.

But in any case, you'd probably just pick everything around the destroyed structure. Hide them. Create the building. Unhide everything that was just hidden.

Thanks p0ke and WereElf, that did the trick.
