[Spell] Follow with no distance

[0.to.the.9]

Hello!

I want to make a simple spell:
- unit cast spell on unit;
- create a invisible unselectable unit (locust);
- order created locust to follow target unit.

Locust will belong to owner of caster.
Target unit can be an enemy or an ally.

The problem is distance, that following unit will keep while moving.
I only need locust be in position of target unit.

But I want to realize it without instantly moving locust every moment.
Is there any easy way?

Thank everyone for any information!

I don't think there's a way to make a unit follow a unit without a certain follow-up distance. Looks like you won't get around your periodic re-positioning.

Order the locust unit to move to the position of the unit? Set the position slightly behind the unit so the locust unit doesn't go around it.

Add this in a trigger that runs every 0.25 seconds or so.

Then he could just SetUnitX and SetUnitY in the first place...

You do not want to allow distance.
You do not want to move instantly.

Seems contradictory. You maybe should overthink your requirements.

There's no other way than moving instantly, because http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zeno's_paradoxes#Achilles_and_the_tortoise.
