Make Unit MOVE BACKWARD but Facing Front Angle

[Lannik]

Order Unit to MOVE BACKWARD but Facing Front Angle

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

[gorillabull]

that means absolutely nothing

that means absolutely nothing

Nope, it emans frickinly awesome moonwalk for ya.

But sorry, i cant help, i came here just coz question seemed epic

oh if u just want to move the unit backwards use polar projection and set the projection angle to the unit's facing angle - 180

The same has been discussed in other section - look here for my post: https://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/2371750-post2.html

You would periodically call the that function to move unit in certain direction - in your case backwards and use custom script to play its animation by index.

I translated the info of Nichilus into GUI =)

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.03 seconds
• Actions
  • Unit - Make 'Unit' face 'Whatever' in 0.00 seconds
  • Set tempPoint = ((Position of 'Unit') offset by 20 towards ( 'facing of 'Unit' - 180°))
  • Unit - Move 'Unit' intantly to 'tempPoint'
  • Custom script: call SetUnitAnimationByIndex(udg_'Unit', 'Index of Walking Animation')
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

Of Course it's SUI

Keep in mind that if you don't want any leaks you must use two variables for points if you are using polar offsets. For example,

set tempPoint1 = (Position of Unit)
set tempPoint2 = tempPoint1 offset by 20.00 towards (Facing of Unit - 180.00)

Then, of course, you must remove the locations with

call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint1 )
call RemoveLocation( udg_tempPoint2 )

My dumb leaks -_- . Well Good Notice

wait, Order Unit to MOVE BACKWARD but Facing Front Angle = Knockback?

Hey if you want to make the unit move backwards and look fine also set there animation negative to make it look like they are actually walking backwards.

I would paste the code here although I don't have access to WE.
If you can't make the value a negative for the GUI version, make it anyway and convert it to jass. The native name isn't exactly obvious..

The Move Unit can't play animations. Use this:

Custom script :   call SetUnitX(myUnit, GetUnitX(myUnit) + speed * Cos(GetUnitFacing(myUnit) * bj_DEGTORAD + bj_PI))
Custom script :   call SetUnitY(myUnit, GetUnitY(myUnit) + speed * Sin(GetUnitFacing(myUnit) * bj_DEGTORAD + bj_PI))

Use GUI Custom script

 

[DivineLight]

is it can play animations?

 

[Almia]

Yep. Use Animation - Play walk animation for myUnit

 

[SA Dashie]

When you start the backwards movement call this function once.

• Custom script: call SetUnitTimeScale(myUnit, -1.00)

When the backwards walk stops simply call this function once.

• Custom script: call SetUnitTimeScale(myUnit, 1.00)

It would really look alot more nicer.
