[Solved] Creating Unit in a line

[pOke]

Hello, I'm trying to create a line of units, but if I have the pathing for the unit on, they "push" each other making a deformed line.

Line Creation

• PC
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to (==) PC
  • Actions
    • Set PC_MaxIndex = (PC_MaxIndex + 1)
    • Set PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex] = (Triggering unit)
    • Set TempLoc = (Position of PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex])
    • Set TempReal2 = (Facing of PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex])
    • Set TempLoc2 = (TempLoc offset by 256.00 towards (180.00 + TempReal2) degrees)
    • Set PC_Counter[PC_MaxIndex] = 100
    • Set PC_Group[PC_MaxIndex] = (Create Unit Group)
    • Unit - Create 1 Power Cog for (Owner of PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex]) at TempLoc2 facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
    • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to PC_Group[PC_MaxIndex]
      • Do Multiple ActionsFor each (Integer TempInteger) from 1 to 6, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempReal = (150.00 x (Real(TempInteger)))
          • Set TempLoc3 = (TempLoc2 offset by TempReal towards (TempReal2 + 90.00) degrees)
          • Unit - Create 1 Power Cog for (Owner of PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex]) at TempLoc3 facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
          • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
          • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to PC_Group[PC_MaxIndex]
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc3)
          • Set TempLoc3 = (TempLoc2 offset by TempReal towards (TempReal2 - 90.00) degrees)
          • Unit - Create 1 Power Cog for (Owner of PC_Caster[PC_MaxIndex]) at TempLoc3 facing Default building facing (270.0) degrees
          • Unit - Add a 3.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
          • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to PC_Group[PC_MaxIndex]
          • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc3)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempLoc2)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • PC_MaxIndex Equal to (==) 1
        • Then - Actions
          • Trigger - Turn on PC Loop <gen>
        • Else - Actions

then make sure you have enough space in between each unit in order for them to fit...

 

[venger07]

Have you tried decreasing their collision size?

 

[pOke]

I'd like them to be overlapping a little which is possible with the pathing off.

Yeah I have tried putting the collision size down to 0 with no effect.

 

[venger07]

then change their movement type to "Fly"

 

[pOke]

I want them to block path, that's the reason the pathing cannot be None, which similar to flying in this case.

 

[Adiktuz]

flying units will still collide with other flying units... so the units still won't be in a perfect line...

I want them to block things, that's the reason the pathing cannot be None, which similar to flying in this case.

Just lower the collision size to something that allows both of your needs... else, you will need to turn off collision for the units, then spawn pathing blockers...

pOke just said that he tried putting the collision size down to 0 but still no effect.
are you trying to make a fissure like spell?
Add the units the "Locust" ability, then make pathing blockers at their position..

 

[Adiktuz]

I don't think 0 collision actually works...

 

[pOke]

Well sorry for the unnecessary confusion and posts, thanks for the replies, for some reason it cannot be targeted as (empty field) and retain its "pathing" properties.

Anyway: Solved.

Maybe you can increase the scale of the units so they look like they are overlapping.
