i dont understand vjass. but from what i read on description, the system basically detects the difference between distance of the last static position and the current position of the moving unit. correct me if im wrong

No, that's pretty much all there is to it. You're just measuring the change in position.

Change in position = Velocity
Change in velocity = Acceleration

If you for some reason can't implement the Vjass version, I can build a system for you in GUI if you specify what it is EXACTLY you want to do

 

[Berb]

Though if it is not an exact, and specific description with detailed Microsoft Word 2010 paragraph formatting N1ghthawk will explode, and the system lost forever

Or creating a location and a unit group will do...... This trigger must be running every 0.01 second(s).

Two locations are needed, if the distance between the two locations becomes greater than 0.00, then the unit is moving.



I hope you are getting what I want to say.

every 0.03 seconds works as good and needs only 1/3 of the ressoures.
And no, locations are not needed. Unit X and Y are enough-unfortenually you cant use them in GUI(beside custom scripts)

good idea. but i dont want my trigger to consider a teleporting unit as a moving unit. i wonder how should i deal with teleporting units...any suggestions?

There isn't really an "easy" way to do that. The best you can do is probably use the method that cedi uses. He checks to see if the distance compared to their previous x/y is decently large. Chances are, that it was from teleporting. There are always the chances of someone teleporting right next to themselves but those are a bit less than likely. =)

most teleports have a minumum cast range anyway(at leat blink, and you wont use a TP right next to you), so looking if the range is to far for movement should work

Or every 0.02 seconds, check a unit that its current order is move, patrol or attack-ground VIA a Unit Group. This will execute the action you want towards the specified unit.
