JASS Countdown Timer (for faster and more realistic effects)

[peekuhchew1]

I've been looking for a way to move units using a countdown timer, like moving a unit to "caster_loc" every .1 seconds of gametime. Using TriggerSleepAction is too slow because the .27 second thing, so I was trying to see how to use countdown timers so the effect is faster and more realistic. Can I get any help?

move units instantly to caster loc or just mvoe towards casterloc?
i can do either pretty easily in GUI with periodic triggers...

You should use "Timer - periodic event" if you want to run the trigger every 0.1 sec, starting timer needs more memory.
Just add the units you want to move to a unit group ( when the spell is cast), put the caster location to a variable and turn on the moving trigger.

• Move trigger
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.05 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in unitGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set point = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Set point2 = (point offset by 20.00 towards (Angle from point to Caster_loc) degrees)
        • Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to point2
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( point )
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( point2 )

That's exactly what I want, but in JASS. Some triggers that I convert to JASS, there's a condition, then there are multiple actions, and the trigger does something like
"call If................, then call function MoveUnitTrig_829371" or something for example. Is there a way to not have those multiple actions and just have it all in one action and not calling different actions?

you want to create trigger, start a periodic timer, and have the event of the trigger be "when timer expires"

this is all possible in 1 "trigger" with multiple jass functions.

function Trig_timer takes nothing returns nothing
    local timer time = CreateTimer()
    call TimerStart(time,.03,true,function actions)
endfunction

and above it:

function actions takes nothing returns nothing
     actions
endfunction
