Custom Script for setting a point to "target point of ability being cast"

[darwin]

• Unit - Order ATAT to Attack Ground (Target point of ability being cast)

I would like to make that action without leaking, and preferably without making a point variable and destroying it. I would like to move a point variable so I want something like:

• Custom script: call MoveLocation(udg_LocationMove1, udg_x, udg_y)

But I don't know the Jass command for getting the target point of the ability being cast.

Thanks to all you JASS programmers for being so helpful.

• Custom script: call MoveLocation(udg_LocationMove1, GetSpellTargetX(), GetSpellTargetY())

EDIT:

• Custom script: call IssuePointOrderById(*unit*, 851984, GetSpellTargetX(), GetSpellTargetY())

^That would order the unit to attack ground on target coordinates of ability being cast.

Replace the *unit* with your unit, like

GetTriggerUnit() = triggering unit
bj_lastCreatedUnit = last created unit
udg_variable if the unit is in variable

I just used your trigger that you said and converted it to custom code:

call IssuePointOrderLocBJ( GetLastCreatedUnit(), "attackground", GetSpellTargetLoc() )

Of course, replace GetLastCreatedUnit() with your unit. Or you could do what Maker said, I think it'll work both ways.

then that's exactly like his trigger that he wants to replace and so there's no point in converting it...

Maker's code is the solution to his problem...

 

[puggsoy]

... Oh yeah...





But even so, I don't see the difference between my code and Maker's. They seem to do the same thing.

 

[Adiktuz]

the difference is (aside from yours just being a direct jass conversion of the gui trigger), yours uses a Location which the OP wanted to avoid... while Maker's uses X,Y coordinates

 

[puggsoy]

Ah yes... I just thought he wanted to know how to grab the Location using JASS, so that he could, for example, use it in another function.

I'll be more careful next time.

I certainly appreciate your help, though.

I have a rather complicated map with a custom movement system, so I'm just trying to minimize processing and avoid using point locations when I can.

+rep to all of you, and thanks especially to Maker.
