Make transport not moving when loading

[Mechanical Man]

When I order a unit to enter a transport, the transport moves towards the unit. Can I make the transport standing still when a unit is ordered to enter it, keeping it rotation too? The transport has it's own speed, but it shouldn't move when another unit is going to be loaded into.

You will need to trigger this. When the order is given to load the unit, change the transports movement speed to 0. When the unit is loaded change it back to default. Now, there is also an issue with a canceled order. You will need to deal with this too. One way might be to set a timer to cancel the order or see if there is a way to check for an interrupted order. Something like a unit is given an order. Unit = Loading Unit. Order issued not equal to load.

To keep it from turning is a bit trickier. You could loop set facing angle. You could also try pause unit, but this may disable the load ability.

I assume you know how to find and give orders based on your rep, but just for other people I will post a trigger of an order finder.

GetOrder Events Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target Conditions (Triggering unit) Equal to (==) unit Actions Custom script: call BJDebugMsg(OrderId2String(GetIssuedOrderId()) + " - " + I2S(GetIssuedOrderId())) Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Target unit of issued order)) Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Target destructible of issued order)) Game - Display to (All players) the text: (Name of (Target unit of issued order)) Then to give the order use this script: Custom script: call IssueTargetOrderById(udg_<unit>, 852600<order id>, udg_<target unit> ) And remember "GetTriggerUnit()" = triggering unit, if you want to use that.

But even setting it to 0, it still moves very very slowly and turns. If I try to stun, it still has time to move.

Use prop window instead of changing unit speed. In stunning, use a warstomp method in stun systems.

Maybe looping the pause is the way to go. I'm not sure how prop windows work, but I trust Daffa to know that's better. But, you can still use a loop with it. setting the position and turn rate every 0.03 should do it. Dynamically index to get it MUI. That should do the trick.

Loop remove move ability? I think that'll work functionality-wise but may look weird UI-wise. You can't just remove move once because I'm pretty sure the move ability is automatically added to units that have a movement speed > 0 by the game itself. Setting the movement speed to 0 than removing move might work without having to loop.

If you want to make it look right UI-wise, just make a dummy Move, Hold Position, and Patrol ability based off of channel and add and remove them to your unit as necessary.

Bleh, fortunately the unit is only stopped and moved forward, no other movement, so I made two unit types, one moving, where you can't load units, and one stationary with loading ability. It works in my case, but only because it's a specific case.
