[Trigger] Making unit move forever

[doombringer]

I want to make it so that a unit keeps moving forward even after it has reached the point you told it to move to. (like in worm wars)

Could someone please give me a gui trigger that would do this.

Also if I had a unit doing this would I still have it able to turn really slowly?

Worm War is not protected. Look in the trigger editor for the Never Stop.

I don't know much about jass, the first trigger is JASS and the rest uses custom script. I think it's the only way, the easiest.

Just order the unit to move to the place in front of it every some time, like that:

• Blah
  • Events:
    • Time - Every 0.1 seconds of game time
  • Conditions:
  • Actions:
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of [your_unit] polar offset by 100 angle (Facing of ([your_unit])
    • Unit - Order [your_unit] to move to TempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

raft_pl thank you for your help

Infernal I have already looked at the worm wars map but thanks for your suggestion anyway

A better solution is to detect when the unit is ordered to move, then order it to move very far in front of it, where it can't actually reach.

Works only if there is nothing to block the path between the unit and the target point.

• Set TempPoint = (>>>>>>>>Position of [your_unit]<<<<<<<<<< polar offset by 100 angle (Facing of ([your_unit])
• Unit - Order [your_unit] to move to TempPoint
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)

2 locations generated one destroyed = 1 location remained to pwn you

 

[raft_pl]

Uh, oh.... Didn't know that when im setting location using another (unset to variable) location, both of them leak :O

 

[VampireHeart]

Cant you just do this??

EVENTS:

-every (---s)

ACTIONS:

-move (your unit) to random point in entire map

@Vampireguy: best solution ever

VampireHeart, learn to read.

lol

Anyway...

You could cange it to "point in region" and set the region to move with the unit.

And just make shure that the points are selected in line with the units "facing angle".

Dont know if thats possable but worth a try.

i already needed to use this before, and I did a GUI trigger of every 0.1 seconds to move to a point with a 100.00 polar offset in the direction of the unit's facing angle, but it does a lot of lag, I recommend you to use the JASS script from Worm Wars, if you can.

That's most likely because you leaked locations.

 

[VampireHeart]

Also the fact that it is 0.1. Which is not necessary.

I think that 1s would be fine.

@VampireHeart
Well, we dont know what the unit's speed is And 100 is really short distance, so it would look a bit crappy - unit stopping and suddenly moving forward, so i decided to order unit every short period of time to move on a short distance (to avoid walking around obstackles, other units, etc.)

Also, as Need_O2 pointed my fault, i added additional point var to remove (this was why the lagg occured):

• Blah2
  • Events:
    • Time - Every 0.1 seconds of game time
  • Conditions:
  • Actions:
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of [your_unit])
    • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint polar offset by 100 angle (Facing of ([your_unit])
    • Unit - Order [your_unit] to move to TempPoint2
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)

 

[doombringer]

Thanks for that

The unit usually has a move speed of 300-450 and 1 second seems to work well but I made it so he moves to a point 400 in front rather than 100.

How does the worm war script work compared to what you guys suggested?
