[Trigger] How to block the mouse event?

[kaccheng2]

Dear All helpers,

I would like to block the mouse event so that it doesn't allow the player to click the mouse to move his character anywhere in the game. Why i would like to block the mouse event is because i just want the player to use the arrow keys to move the characters ...Can anyone help???

Besides, The second question is I would like the character to stop moving down once it is blocked by something e.g :wall if the player continues to press the left arrow as see below, can anyone know how to do it?

(wall)

| instead of moving down to the bottom (As the world warcraft once
| detects the character is blocked , it will make that character to
| move down to bottom by default)

1st question:

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(move))
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop

2nd question

• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Presses the Down Arrow key
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Point[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set Point[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 10)] = (Point[(Player number of (Triggering player))] offset by 50.00 towards 270.00 degrees)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Terrain pathing at Point[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 10)] of type Walkability is off) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move To Point[((Player number of (Triggering player)) + 10)]
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer())])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point[( GetConvertedPlayerId(GetTriggerPlayer()) + 10 )])

The problem in this is that the first trigger blocks the second one :/
There's sure a way to make it work though.

Ghostwolf, your event in the 2nd trigger won't make the thing look smooth, because everytime you want to move you have to "press" the down arrow. What we want is the car to move as long as you haven't "released" the down arrow... Which will require 2 triggers for moving.

Some time ago i was working on map where u had to move your character left or right using arrow keys and fire projectiles using up arrow key... Anyway, i made it work by putting two paladins, the first one that can be seen, with swarm ability, and a second one, that had scale 0.1, was selected all the time, it was moved every 0.3 sec to the position of the first pala... Similar system was in Blizzard`s Death Sheep.

And, in making of my map i didn`t think about the solution that Need_O2 have suggested ;P

@Blocking unit
Put 2 dummies on the walls, and make trigger:

• Events:
  • Unit - A unit enters a rectangle centered at position of dummy1 (100, 100)
  • Unit - A unit enters a rectangle centered at position of dummy2 (100, 100)
• Conditions:
  • Triggering unit equal to YourHero
• Actions:
  • Unit - Order unit to stop
