[Solved] Center of Region/Position of Unit

[Juveqis]

Hello everybody, this is my first thread here.
I'm having a weird problem I've never had with the Action "Move (unit) instantly to (Center of Region/Position of Unit)" The thing is that the (unit) is never on the center of the Region or the Unit (a circle of power, for example).

I attach the images on the post because I don't know how to add triggers on the forum.

Here you can see the trigger:

Here you can see the position of the region and the circle of power:

Here you can see that the unit is not on the center:

That purple block is probably acting as a pathing blocker. When you try to move a unit somewhere it can't go, the engine chooses the next closest location (or something like that).

Thanks for the triggers post!

I've try again in a clear map and the problem is still here.
Maybe it's a bug?

I have always had this kind of problem, I believe it's a lack of accuracy in the game programming.
Also apparently the offset is always the same at a given point, but differs accross the map.
So if you want perfect positioning for this location only, I suggest you just add an offset in your trigger to compensate.

Only assumptions can be made without knowing all technical facts. Can you attach a demo?

Without running any tests I can think of 3 possible causes.

• The GetRectCenter function and its internal workings does not return the mid point of a rect, but rather some cell aligned point near the mid point. This can be checked by manually measuring the mid point of a rect and comparing it with the output of the function.
• The CreateUnit functions spawn units with some kind of alignment mechanics near the requested location. This can be tested by checking if the unit position after creation has an approximately identical value to the position used to create the unit.
• The unit origin is not the same as the centre of the unit selection circle or the model origin. This would be the logical conclusion if the above fail, and unfortunately many people have reported this to be the case.

And this is why I manually offset things.
Make sure that circle of power is walkable, by the way, and with 0 collision in the object editor.

CreateUnit has a resolution of 0.25 but rects of 32 (center is gained by division by 2, so 16). That should not be the fault here and OP used MoveUnit anyway, which is different.

Thanks for all the answers dudes, I'm sorry I didn't answer sooner, I've tried it following Freddyk's way and it worked, so the thread is solved.

  • Unidad - Move PiedraRunicaSurCaster instantly to ((Position of CÃrculo de poder 0010 <gen>) offset by (10.00, 10.00)), facing (Position of Piedra Rúnica (orientado hacia el sureste) 0021 <gen>
