• Untitled Trigger 001
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Wait 0.10 seconds
        • Selection - Clear selection for Player 1 (Red)

you can use any event you like. ofc you have to condition it .
and it could be good to order unit to stop if your trigger doesn't require moving.


what this does is that for 2 seconds every 0.1 second clears selection for specified player, result is that player can't select any unit for 2 seconds which means he can't order it to do anything.

Try pausing it before all the actions begin

It would help if you posted the trigger as well.

You have to slide it rather than issuing a move order.

if it's some periodic move jump thing with to big intervals you can click somewhere and the unit will move there
-> do it every 0.0x sec or so
everything else is crap if the unit has attack
it's the same as clicking, even worse

SetUnitX(UNIT,REAL)
SetUnitY(UNIT,REAL)

Pause the unit, and use those two functions with some trigonometry. Or you can just use points (slower, but not much of a matter if it's just a jump).

Ex in custom script:
(set loc to be the location of the unit, and set Jumper to be the unit)
(set loc2 to be the next interval (very small step) to move to - if you use polar offset, referance loc instead of the location, since that would leak)
Call SetUnitX(udg_Jumper,GetLocationX(udg_loc2))
Call SetUnitY(udg_Jumper,GetLocationY(udg_loc2))
Call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)
Call RemoveLocation(udg_loc2)
(still custom script) Set udg_Jumper = null

There are more optimized and complicated ways of doing this, but that will give you a good result. Make sure the periodic interval is 0.02 for a better result (50fps). If you use JASS, the best interval is 0.0167 seconds, because that is 60fps (max framerate of the game) meaning it's 100% smooth.

If you want max efficiency and simplicity I suggest using a jump system.
