how do i make missile move?

[Dracula]

Hi, am trying to make a spell thats alike dota>beastmaster>axe skill, but i have no idea how they move the missile on it, is there anyway i can find a GUI version of dota>beastmaster>axe skill anywhere?

Some things can not be GUI, since GUI is not as powerfull as JASS.
Well basicly you need to use maths to move the dummy unit to a new location every few few frames, the action is under the "Unit" section. Polar projection does your maths for you with the right inputs but make sure your locations do not leak.

ok i wouldnt try making the missle move then, and yes ive tried using dummy unit, but its not smooth.

No, I doubt there's a GUI one anywhere, but there's the original that DotA stole (by Darky29) lying around somewhere, if it isn't ignored. Can't remember the name, and it seems to have been lost in the transfer from wc3s.

Oh, and try a timer with a .01 to .05 interval.

i tried that too, but it didnt go smooth...

A lot of darky29's work has been ignored since it does not folow the modern spell section rules (leaks or crashes).

Doesn't seem to exist there, either, but it's kinda hard to search that section =/

Anyhow, it should go fine, Dracula. Those're the intervals that spells involving missile movement use (.035,.01,.02,.03,.04,.05)

Are you sure you're using a Timer (Every x seconds of game time, or <Timer> Expires), and not a Wait? (Waits have a minimum wait time of about .10 seconds, for 0, and .27 for .01

yes ive use every .10 second do order unit move to position of unit 1000towards facing of unit - 9, then for the 2nd missile i make facing of unit + 9, so that missile one shoots at 45 angel and will have -9 angel every .10 second that will make it turn, and same for the missle two shoots at -45 angel and will have +9 angel, so they will end up at the target location, i would post the trigger but i deleted it, cuz it wasnt what i had it mind.

uhh... you had the right idea.. HOWEVER, moving 1000 paces at every .01-.05 interval will be VERY UNSMOOTH. i made very custom missile moves my self, even my own custom homing missile, and using maybe 20 paces. I did a cool effect on my homing missile where it will accelerate towards an angle starting at a speed of very slow 5 paces then accelerating to about 50 in like 7 seconds. however it has leaks ><
