Convert MoveUnit to SFX

[Strydhaizer]

Can someone help me convert this line (SetUnitX() and SetUnitY()) and make it move Special Effects instead of Unit?

• Shoot_Dummy is a dummy missile unit.

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex], GetUnitX(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex]) + udg_Shoot_AngleX[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex], GetUnitY(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex]) + udg_Shoot_AngleY[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])

?? Just use the new special effect natives, you can check them on common.j from "...Documents\Warcraft III\JassHelper"

• Custom script: call BlzSetSpecialEffectX(udg_SpecialEffect, GetUnitX(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex]) + udg_Shoot_AngleX[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])
• Custom script: call BlzSetSpecialEffectY(udg_SpecialEffect, GetUnitY(udg_Shoot_Dummy[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex]) + udg_Shoot_AngleY[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])

I'm not sure if I understood your problem.

I'm trying to convert the missiles (good ol' dummy units) into special effects (with the new natives). What I understand in the custom script you made is you're attaching the SFX to the dummy unit, I want is to get rid of the dummy completely and fully utilize the special effects by moving the SFX instead of a dummy unit.

^It's already pointed out by Wrda. Those natives are explicitly moving special effects. He didn't use it as attachment point to a dummy.

Sorry I realized I am actually missing some variables at the main post. Also, I thought he's attaching it because he used the location of the unit. I fixed it, it works now. Thanks for pointing that out.

• call BlzSetSpecialEffectX(udg_SpecialEffect, udg_Shoot_CurrentMissilePosX[udg_ShootCurrentIndex] + udg_Shoot_AngleX[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])
• call BlzSetSpecialEffectY(udg_SpecialEffect, udg_Shoot_CurrentMissilePosY[udg_ShootCurrentIndex] + udg_Shoot_AngleY[udg_Shoot_CurrentIndex])
