[Trigger] Locust Units Bah

[RiotZ]

Locust units don't seem to accept move orders, even after they've been changed with Chaos... So when a unit spawns in my group system, the leader wanders to the rally-point completely alone and the other squad members don't follow, any ideas on a fix.

Just so you know, in your second trigger, the group will only be ordered to do the last thing you ordered them to do.
Orders are not instant because there are often animations that need to be played.

This mean that removing all the order lines in that trigger and keeping this one:
Custom script: call GroupPointOrderLoc( udg_GGroup[1], OrderId2String(GetIssuedOrderId()), udg_GPoint[1] )
would leave you with the same results.

Triggers

• Custom script: call UnitAddAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(),'Aloc')
• Custom script: call UnitRemoveAbility(GetLastCreatedUnit(),'Aloc')

Why are you removing the ability here directly after adding it?
I've never really seen this before, so I'm curious.

Ah good to know.

And I add and remove so create an effect where the units can move/operate like normal units, but cannot be selected.

The process is as follows, create a dummy, add locust, remove locust, add a Chaos to get your desired unit, done.

Problem is they won't go the rally-point whenever I order them to, I tried a bunch of different stuff nothing works. I figured it could just be that locust units can't be order by triggers, but the order command triggers work perfectly.

Have you checked it with IssueUnitPointOrderById() of a random group unit?
If that works, maybe the group is the problem.

The problem is in the train trigger...

The problem is when a locust unit is produce/created/trained, it will not proceed to the rally-point of the trained unit. The trained unit is the leader, the locust units are squad members. The locust units accept the orders properly via the order trigger, but will not accept any orders in the train trigger.

I have 2 ideas, either the base unit the dummy, which I'm converting with Chaos, has no movement settings, and this is the problem, or a Wait has to be added.

Other than that idk, any ideas on how I can fix this?

 

[Anachron]

Actually I found out about this earlier and I was not able to find a fix for it.
This is one of the reasons why I never finished some maps...
Anyway, I will think about it, I can't think of a good fix for now, sorry.
