Im working on a spell that summons a visible dummy unit behind the caster and follows the caster around during its duration but the problem is how to make the "dummy unit" face into the direction of the caster every second using custom scripts?

not sure if all leaks are clear now but
It works but i got new problems now
1st is when "Caster" attacks a enemie unit, The "Follower" faces back behind the "Caster".
2nd is how do i determine the location in which the "Follower" spawns? cause i wanted it to be atleast 100 behind the "Caster" but in this trigger it spawns Above the "Caster"..

DEE-BOO gave you 5 examples of how you could do it.
You should pick only one instead of using multiple of those.

So you pick one out of these:
  • Set Point[1] = (Position of Caster)
  • Set Point[2] = (Position of Follower)
  • Set Angle = (Angle from Point[1] to Point[2])
  • Unit - Make Follower face Angle over 0.00 seconds
  • Set Point[1] = (Position of Caster)
  • Unit - Make Follower face Point[1] over 0.00 seconds
  • Unit - Make Follower face Caster over 0.00 seconds
  • Set Point[1] = (Position of Caster)
  • Set Point[2] = (Position of Follower)
  • Unit - Move Follower instantly to Point[2], facing Point[1]
  • Set Point[1] = (Position of Caster)
  • Set Point[2] = (Position of Follower)
  • Set Angle = (Angle from Point[1] to Point[2])
  • Unit - Move Follower instantly to Point[2], facing Angle degrees
So every time that you make the unit face a certain direction or point and then make it face that same direction, then you do all the work multiple times.
