GUI Unit Indexer Issue

[gore23]

Ok I started to try the gui unit indexer by bribe. Problem is I can't seem to get things to work apparently...

Trying to store each units destination, I stop them manually so they stop moving and have a periodic timer I am trying to see if it is working to make them continue moving to the destination I stored for them.

Problem is, they don't move and I don't know why or what I am doing wrong, swear I put it in just like I seen demonstrated... They run when spawned, just the periodic never makes them move again.

Anyone have any idea why its not working? xD

• Spawn Unit
  • Events
    • Time - Every 2.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set VariableSet Temp_Loc00 = (Center of RedLaneSpawn <gen>)
    • Set VariableSet Temp_Loc01 = (Center of RedLaneEnd <gen>)
    • Unit - Create 1 Runner Template for Player 24 (Peanut) at Temp_Loc00 facing Temp_Loc01
    • AI - Ignore (Last created unit)'s guard position
    • Set VariableSet Runners_Destination[(Custom value of (Last created unit))] = Temp_Loc01
    • Unit Group - Add (Last created unit) to Runners_UnitGroup
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To Runners_Destination[(Custom value of (Last created unit))]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Loc00)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Temp_Loc01)

• Periodic Move Order
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Game - Display to (All players) the text: Tick
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in Runners_UnitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Game - Display to (All players) the text: (String((Custom value of (Picked unit))))
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To Runners_Destination[(Custom value of (Picked unit))]

I think you're going to need a separate trigger with the unit index event to set the destination variable (attached).

Basically, change the condition to 'UDexUnits[UDex] is of unit type Runner Template'.

Then set the variable 'Runners_Destination[UDex] = [Center of RedLaneEnd]'.

In your current GUI setup, I think the unit is created and the unit index script has not yet set the custom value.

I will consider trying that in moment, but the reason I haven't is because I am confused why the initial movement works if the variable is not set ? It references the set destination fine, but does not do so when referenced from another trigger? xD

Also, if I did the conditioning that way. I would need at LEAST like 50 or so conditions, 1 for each unit. xD

Oh, I see. Try setting the destination directly to the region instead of the temp loc

That did it. Thank you. Sucks though, I was hoping to be able to use the trigger across multiple spawns and players and all that, make it more module. No I will prob have to duplicate it instead and if any issues occur fix on each one instead of just one. T.T Shoulda worked fine other way, but darn... May be able to do if statements checking which to set. Idk might be a work around gotta go for now though. Thank you.

I think you can still make it modular. Your destination location was targeting a location, which is a pointer. Removing the original location results in the destination variable targeting a null value (it doesn't clone its contents in the GUI set variable function).

You can get around this by setting the destination variable as a new location and then getting the X and Y of the temporary location.

Set VariableSet Untitled_Variable_001 = (Point((X of Untitled_Variable_001), (Y of Untitled_Variable_001)))
