Issued Orders not happening

[pOke]

Hello, I'm trying to make a spell that upon activation when the triggering unit issues a move to a point order they get a blink added to them and then cast the blink on the ordered point. After x number of times, they stop getting the blink and go back to having to walk everywhere.

Here is what I have so far, but it doesn't exactly work at/how I want it to. Sometimes I can issue the move order then order the unit to blink and get the counter to like 80 and never have the "effect" end as it should. Other times it ends properly, but the caster never blinks anywhere. (The caster's backswing/cast point all at 0)

Any help would be great~!

Unit-move instantly

why you don't use "Unit - move unit instantly" function instead of Blink ability?

 

[Chaosy]

you use a very odd way of triggering. I suggest you remake the spell in a better way.

I think I would be able to create the spell with a cast trigger and a loop trigger. You should checkout some advanced GUI tutorials.

no offense trying to create some crisism

the wait is killing that trigger and most likely causing a leak.

@Sapi I was using a Blink so it would only move them so far, but you're right the Move unit is a much better

Thanks +rep

this is leaking

• Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 649.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

u need to remove the old location first.
