drifting?

[goth54325_3]

Is it possable to have a unit drift?( faceing <90 but moveing <270( < = angle ))

Not to my knowledge. You will need them to move.

maybe with a
'periodic event - every .1 seconds'
'instantly move picked unit to position of unit offset by 50 towards facing of unit offset by 270'

kind of trigger..
could get a little laggy tho, and u wouldnt see their animations, they would just be drifting...

If you mean like in Maze of Frostbite/Shroom World, yes you can. You use a trigger similar to what Bort suggested. I think you can use a 0.01 periodic and not lag, reduce the distance as well.

are you sure that will work? what i am tring to do is make it so a unit is moveing this way ---> but is faceing this way <---.

Edit: wait i hate a friend make me a map that i never used and it has a part in it that lets you controll the units speed and it could go into negitives so it would move back wards and wouls still show animations but i can't find out how to make it move( its not in the triggers)

Edit ok i think i found it, its got to be in this script:

Hum, you don't need to use jass, and it certainly doesn't need to be that complicated. Just try:

Drift
    Events
        Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
    Conditions
        Drift[1] Equal to True
    Actions
        Unit - Move Unit[1] instantly to ((Position of Unit[1]) offset by 4.00 towards ((Facing of Unit[1]) + 180.00) degrees)

Edit: the +180 means it will go backwards.

 

[goth54325_3]

but that doesn't show the animations.

JASS is the only way to get the periodic event to be below 0.10 seconds. With Timers, you can go all the way to .01 seconds. So JASS will make the movement seem more smooth. I am not sure if handle vars are completely needed. But they rae if you want to keep the spell multi-instanceable. If you can move this to the spell forum, you will probable get much more help.
