How to make a unit attack while moving?

I want to make a unit attack while moving how do i do that?

Hmm well one way to simulate this might be to use the Phoenix fire ability. This ability causes a projectile to be launched from the unit every interval at a random enemy target in range.

That would give you a simple form of attacking while moving.

If you want a more complex system (e.g. like Starcraft 2 Diamondback Tanks), you will probably need to do some fancy triggering.

Actually it is two different animations.
A unit simply CAN'T do two different animations at the same time.
But don't worry I think you can simulate this.
Firstly, you can use the solution of the post just above.
Secondly, you can create a unit exactly the same and make it attack at the same time;

@Sethmachine it worked thx.Well thx for the answers.

With the attack orders? If I remember Phoenix Fire does not do that...
You can use Malhorne's second solution, then cache movement orders.

Another way is triggering the movement. I've made this, so it's definitely doable, but making it in a non-buggy way is complicated.
