Insantly moving a unit without interrupting its orders

[Solved] Insantly moving a unit without interrupting its orders

Is what is said in the title possible? I think I've seen it in MaD Balls Arena. Some guy told me to move it to coordinates instead of a point, but that did not do any difference. Is it done in JASS?

How about first pause the unit and then use the move instantly action, and unpause the unit

 

[Smiddle]

That may work, I'll try that.

Edit: nope.

 

[QueenOfOblivion]

How about you move it and then order it to do the action it was doing?

• Custom script: call SetUnitY(WHICH_UNIT, Y)

QueenOfOblivion, that's not quite the effect I'm looking for.
The Reborn Devil, I will try those.


Edit: It didn't quite work. What I want to do is a spell that causes a unit to switch places with the targeted unit. Currently, the spell looks like this:

• Relocate
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Relocate
  • Actions
    • Set U[1] = (Casting unit)
    • Set U[2] = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Set P[1] = (Position of U[1])
    • Set P[2] = (Position of U[2])
    • Set R[1] = (X of P[1])
    • Set R[2] = (Y of P[1])
    • Set R[3] = (X of P[2])
    • Set R[4] = (Y of P[2])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_U[1], udg_R[1])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_U[1], udg_R[2])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_U[2], udg_R[3])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_U[2], udg_R[4])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_P[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_P[2])

Should I use "GetLocationX/Y" instead of "Set Something = (Y of Asdf)"?

Lookie, orders can be saved via variables...

• Actions
  • Set your_order = Current order of (Unit)
  • Unit - Move unit instantly
  • Unit - Order (Unit) to your_order

 

[Smiddle]

I know, but it doesn't work if there are multiple orders comin'.

Here's the trigger:

  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Relocate
  • Actions
    • Set U[1] = (Casting unit)

    • Set P[1] = (Position of U[1])
    • Set P[2] = (Position of U[2])
    • Set R[1] = (X of P[1])
    • Set R[2] = (Y of P[1])
    • Set R[3] = (X of P[2])
    • Set R[4] = (Y of P[2])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_U[1], udg_R[3])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_U[1], udg_R[4])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_U[2], udg_R[1])
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_U[2], udg_R[2])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_P[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_P[2])

lol, epic phail

It works now btw. +rep

What do you mean?

If the unit has multiple orders in the order queue.
...or is there possibly a way to check if a unit has multiple orders in the queue?

 

[idodik]

Not as far as I know.
