Hi

The situation is, I want my character to do something when I "do an order" (Attack order) on a hostile unit, the problem is, he does the order but even if he's like a mile away. I want to create a condition that obligate him to draw near the unit of issued order before doing his action.

So I found the condition : Math - Distance between points.
I set the points correctly, but I dont know the value of the distance. Is 100 close or far? 1000 ? Well I tried both of these values and my character just walk close his victim and do nothing else.

Here's the trigger:

100 is melee range between units. You can see how far it can be in world editor.
Just open new map and press "G" key - a yellow grid appears. If you press it second time, a white grid appears; for the third time - a gray grid appears. These grids create squares

Yellow grid square is 512 x 512 range
White => 128
Gray => 32

So you can place 2 units in WE on the grid and just check and see how far they are from one another.


Edit: Also going by the pic: you don't need the "And" in the conditions, because you don't use "Or" condition.

It may be a bit tricky to get things set up correctly - the location "position of unit" is at the center of that unit and it does not take collision size into consideration, so if you have 2 big units, the closest they can get to each other may in fact still be greater than 100 range

This is a really big trigger haha. And no the units are not to big. I tried like 150 or 200 just for fun and it didnt work either. I guess the problem is somewhere else then :/

PS Yes I can have some little mistakes in the trigger I'm not the best coder in the world :p
