how do i stop a unit when it attempts to move

[n00b]

apparently this doesn't work, unit just ends up moving anyway

• trigger
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Stop

Set it's movement speed to zero will do... If I've not mistaken..

i also forgot to mention i need the unit to be able to rotate

Try changing some pathing properties...

Setting movement speed to 0 allows the unit to rotate but not to move.

That trigger fails because the stop actually takes effect before the smart order.

This will work:

• Untitled Trigger 026
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(smart))
  • Actions
    • Set p1 = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Target unit of issued order) Not equal to No unit
      • Then - Actions
        • Set p2 = (Position of (Target unit of issued order))
      • Else - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Target item of issued order) Not equal to No item
          • Then - Actions
            • Set p2 = (Position of (Target item of issued order))
          • Else - Actions
            • Set p2 = (Target point of issued order)
    • Unit Group - Add (Triggering unit) to group
    • Countdown Timer - Start Timer1 as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds
    • Hashtable - Save (Angle from p1 to p2) as (Key angle) of (Key (Triggering unit)) in Hash
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p1)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_p2)

• Untitled Trigger 039
  • Events
    • Time - Timer1 expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in group and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Stop
        • Unit Group - Remove (Picked unit) from group
        • Unit - Make (Picked unit) face (Load (Key angle) of (Key (Picked unit)) from Hash) over 0.00 seconds

You want it to rotate but now move? Simple; create a dummy and cast entangle on desired unit =)
Remove special effects from object editor if you want. (ability: Entangling Roots, Night Elf - Unit Ability)
Set duration to 0 to make it permanent; and when you want to make it move again, use "remove specific buff" in trigger editor =)
