Inaccuracy

[GIMLI_2]

Hi,
at map initialization, i create a unit at the position of another unit (Selection Circle). The created unit is exactly in the center of the circle.
Now, if i pick a hero, the created unit dies, and the picked unit moves to the exact location (to the Circle). The location is saved in a location variable

Note: Even if i use a timer as a delay (to prevent that the created units' collision is in the way), it is still not working.

You could use "GetLocationX(your point)" and "GetLocationY(your point)", and after that set the unit's X and Y to these values "SetUnitX" and "SetUnitY", that ignoes collisions.
With more details it would look something like this:

• Custom script: set udg_X = GetLocationX(the point)
• Custom script: set udg_Y = GetLocationY(the point)
• Custom script: set udg_TempUnit = CreateUnit ( '0000' , udg_X, udg_Y, 0.00)

//Not sure if creating units, using X and Y is ignoring collision, but if it isn't:

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_TempUnit , udg_X)
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_TempUnit , udg_Y)

EDIT: You could potentially make your trigger a tiny little bit lighter, if you don't use the point/location variable, instead get the Circle of Power's coordinates.
Then the trigger will look like "set udg_X = GetUnitX(~the circle~); set udg_Y = GetUnitY(~the circle~)"

Are you certain you are killing the unit before moving the other?

I'm not sure what else could cause it.

Move the selection unit instantly away, kill it and then spawn the chosen unit on the circle. It is possible the dying selection unit still has collision for the duration of the trigger.

Dying units should still have collision for a very bright time, so DSG's suggestion should work like a charm.

ok, even if i do not spawn the wisp at all, the hero will still spawn with an offset.
SetUnitX, SetUnitY did not work.

EDIT: i tried using the basic paladin and bloodmage, and they worked. so it has to do something with the unit itself? some object editor data. basic footmen also do have a slight offset

EDIT: they dont seem to move to the exact position where i click either, it is always with an offset. really weird

try playing with the collision size of the hero and the circle of power... I recall it had something to do with perfect movement of stuff...

thanks
it worked

 

[Dr Super Good]

it worked

Changing the collision size of the units? Or of the circle of power?

 

[Wietlol]

I suppose the units.
Collision size is included in setting the position of units, it be SetUnitPosition or SetUnitX/Y.
So I suppose it adds half the collision size to the actual coordinates... like the actual X/Y position is actually the lower left corner of the collision shape... iirc.

I was confronted with it when I was trying to place a cannon on a tank that would be a separate unit so it could aim and shoot while driving etc.
It had me stunned for hours why it didnt just stay in place.

 

[GIMLI_2]

yep, the units. sadly, only 32 works and <16

hide the circle don't kill it >_>

i dont kill it, i kill the wisp that represents an empty hero slot.
