help with trigger

[Warcraft_3]

i got a a little question how can i move a dummy over a distance x like a shockwave ?

 

[Nichilus]

periodically every 0.03 seconds you move the unit a bit in the direction it's supposed to 'fly' - like 20 range for example.

that is how i try it

• Itachi Attack
  • Events
    • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Animation - Play Kabuto_Dummy_Itachi's spell throw animation
    • Unit - Create 1 Fire ball Dummy for (Owner of Kabuto_Caster) at ((Position of Kabuto_Dummy_Itachi) offset by 120.00 towards (Facing of Kabuto_Dummy_Itachi) degrees) facing (Facing of Kabuto_Dummy_Itachi) degrees
    • Set Fireball_Dummy = (Last created unit)
    • Set Fireball_Real = (Facing of Kabuto_Dummy_Itachi)
    • Set Fireball_Point = (Position of Fireball_Dummy)
    • Set Fireball_Point_2 = (Fireball_Point offset by 16.00 towards Fireball_Real degrees)
    • Set Fireball_Integer = (Fireball_Integer + 1.00)
      • Multiple FunctionsIf (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
        • If - Conditions
          • Fireball_Integer Less than or equal to (<=) 70.00
        • Then - Actions
          • Unit - Move Fireball_Dummy instantly to Fireball_Point_2
        • Else - Actions
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Why are you always keeping the trigger - turn off in your loops?

i forget sometimes that its not okay can you help me with the dummy moving pls ?

 

[Wietlol]

Just use a missile system.
Mine can transform a unit into a missile but there might be other ones that can do it as well.

 

[LordDz]

Set the timer to 0.03 and remove the trigger - turn off and the trigger should work.

If you did just what LordDz wrote to the trigger you posted in post #3 and you did not do any other changes, then it won't do you any good.

First of all, you would create 33 fireball units per second (= one every 0.03) and move only the last one. Let me tell you right now - 33 units in one place is a lot of units. It will affect your game.

Second, in what you posted, you create 2 locations to move the missile - you save those locations into Fireball_Point and Fireball_Point2 respectively. Thing is, you don't destroy those locations after you're done with it, thus causing memory leak. You create 66 memory leaks per second which is a lot of leaks. You need to destroy those locations via custom script:

• Custom script: call DestroyLocation(udg_NameOfVariable)
