Making multiple selected units form a line

[wutrus]

Im wondering if this is possible only in JASS? I need:
1st of the units selected by player red move to region 1. 2nd move to region 2. Repeat through to 6.

What I want to do is make upto 6 of the selected units form a line in a certain place with 1 click.

No need to use regions.

• Set Point1 = Target Point of Current Order
• Set Offset = 0
• Set i = 0
• Set Group = Units currently selected by Player
• Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
• Unit Group - Pick every unit from (6 Random units in Group)
  • Set i = i + 1
  • Set Unit[i] = (Picked Unit)
• For each integer A from 1 to 5 do (Actions):
  • Set Offset = offset + 32
  • Set Point2 = Point 1 offset Offset towards 90º
  • Unit - Order Unit[i] move to Point2
  • Custom script: call DestroyLocation(udg_Point2)
• Custom script: call DestroyLocation(udg_Point1)
• Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

Something like that.

Sorry but i dont understand your trigger. I tried to make it work but couldnt.
Heres a copy of what i replicated:

• form a line
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
    • ((Triggering unit) is in (Units owned by Player 1 (Red))) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Set iPoint1 = (Target point of issued order)
    • Set iOffset = 0
    • Set i = 0
    • Set iGroup = (Units currently selected by Player 1 (Red))
    • Custom script: set bj_wantDestroyGroup = true
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Random 6 units from iGroup) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set i = (i + 1)
        • Set iUnit = (Picked unit)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 5, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set iOffset = (iOffset + 32)
        • Set iPoint2 = (iPoint1 offset by 32.00 towards 90.00 degrees)
        • Unit - Order iUnit to Move To iPoint2
        • Custom script: call DestroyLocation(udg_Point2)
    • Custom script: call DestroyLocation(udg_Point1)
    • Custom script: call DestroyGroup(udg_Group)

Its interesting that you dont use Point1 at all. Can you tell me which variables need to be arrays? Also i needed to disable your 3 scripts at the bottom cause they caused a crash.

Set Unit. It's an array. The idea is to pick 6 units and set them Unit[1], Unit[2], etc. Also, the loop is from 1 to 6, I miswrited 5. ALso the Offset is is a Real variable... And the "IPoint2) is "offset by Offset" means Offset by Variable_Called_Offset

Also, order Unit[Integer A] move to iPoint2
