Facing Point after Moving using SetUnitX/Y

[cboy123]

How can I improve

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_FB_CASTER[udg_FB_INDEX], GetLocationX(udg_FB_POINT_TARGET))

in a sense, after moving the unit, I want it to improve by facing the unit to a point or another unit.

Just set a new point that is at the position of the unit then make your unit face the point. It shouldn't interrupt orders.

If you had to get an angle offset to make that location "udg_FB_POINT_TARGET", you can have the unit face that angle.

Why are you not using:

• Unit - Move My_Unit instantly to (My_Location) to facing (My_Angle) degrees

or

• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to (Center of (Playable map area)), facing (Position of (Triggering unit))

?
I'm sure there is a script for it too. Bribe, what is it? You must know.

Those functions:

- Check for pathing and offset the unit's position to accomodate the nearest pathable point.

- Have the unit order itself to Stop once it is at the new point.

SetUnitX/Y are the simplest way to move a unit. You have to use SetUnitFacing manually.

• Custom script: call SetUnitFacing(GetTriggerUnit(), 180.00)

like this?

Yep, just with the 180. being the angle between points or the result of bj_DEG2RAD*Atan2(yLine, xLine)

Right! I like to use ... udg_MySpell_Angle , but that's because I'm a noobie.

There are GUI actions for it -_-

• Actions
  • Unit - Make No unit face No unit over 0.00 seconds
  • Unit - Make No unit face (Center of (Playable map area)) over 0.00 seconds
  • Unit - Make No unit face Default building facing over 0.00 seconds
