[DummySytem] Move Dummy Unit to Triggering unit

[Shayoo]

Hello, i'v been on a project rpg recently & i'v been trying to create a system in order to create 1 Wings dummy unit (Type of unit with locust to nt select) FOR owner of Triggering unit (Triggering = type of Hero)-> to follow the triggering unit, for a periodic event that doesn't lag around 0.01 - 0.04 seconds of game time.

if this can be done by triggers ways i'l welcome any knowledge for this thx !

What does the Wings do?

 

[Shayoo]

it shows a custom model of a wings i only want to follow the unit like an attachement would but with sme special ability added to it & not to the unit
& by followng i mean move it evrytime at a periodic event facing current triggering facing angle.

 

[XiiaOYanG12]

did you ever try to set movement speed for the wings and order it to follow the unit?

 

[Shayoo]

yes i did that, but my unit can also teleport to another area & then the trick will not move it "to the area" you understand.

Try this, but i never try this before tho.
Remember to set another trigger for your Wings when wings spawn,

• Set Wings = (Last Created Unit)

Are the wings attached to the unit in the game? I am just wondering why this can't be a special effect added to the unit and then removed after the duration.

If the effect it adds is from an aura then you can still add it to the hero directly. There are ways to hide the aura icon.

What does the whole ability do?

 

[Shayoo]

because i want the wings to change size very fluidly, & having to remodel it 10 times isn't interesting
Also the basic attachement model is way too smaller for the main triggering unit

First you save your hero and the wings to variables.

• WingsStart
• Events
• Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
• Set Hero = your hero
• Set Loc = (Position of Hero)
• Unit - Create 1 your wings for Player 1 (red) at Loc facing 0 degrees
• Set Wings = Last created unit
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)

Then you move the wings towards the hero.

• WingsMove
• Events
• Time - Every 0.03 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
• Set Loc = (Position of Hero)
• Unit - Move Wings instantly to Loc, facing (Facing of Hero) degrees
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Loc)

 

[Shayoo]

thx +rep for both of your system

 

[Sephy]

If the hero/main unit model is also made by yourself, couldn't you also define a location (similar to "weapon", "head", "chest", "origin", etc.), to which you can attach the wings as a special effect? Though this is probably much harder to do than just moving the wing-units to your hero via the 0.03 periodic trigger.

Isn't that the wings will appear exactly on the unit every 0.03 seconds?
