[Trigger] Missile Spell Problem

[Pitakebab]

I have a missile launcher weapon in my map, which fires a homing missile on the target enemy. The missile will collide with walls and other enemies on the way.

Here's the missile movement trigger. I know it leaks, but that's not my first priority atm.

• Missile Movement
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.02 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (missile is alive) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Move missile instantly to ((Position of missile) offset by missile_speed towards ((Facing of missile) + (((Angle from (Position of missile) to (Position of missile_target)) - (Facing of missile)) / 2.00)) degrees), facing ((Facing of missile) + (((Angle from (Position of missile) to (Position of missile_target)) - (Facing of missile)) / 2.00)) degrees
      • Else - Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Number of units in (Units within 40.00 of (Position of missile) matching ((((Matching unit) is alive) Equal to True) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Player 1 (Red)) and (((Owner of (Matching unit)) Not equal to Player 2 (Blue)) and ((Owner of ( Greater than 0
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Kill missile
      • Else - Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 0 to 4, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain pathing at ((Position of missile) offset by ((Real((Integer A))) x 10.00) towards (Facing of missile) degrees) of type Walkability is off) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Kill missile
          • Else - Actions

When enemy is within degrees 0-180 from you (northside), it works as it should. Like this:


But when enemy is within degrees 180-360 from you (southside), this is what happens:


The problem is within the first action of the trigger, I'm just not able to figure it out. I guess I'm not good enough with math.. So if anyone could explain me where the problem is and how to fix it I'd be very grateful.

It should be "towards (Angle between Point1 and Point2)", where Point1 = (Position of (Missile)) and Point2 = (Position of (Target unit)).
Then move the missile to the offset point.

Oh, it's supposed to be like that. The trigger moves the missile BETWEEN the facing of missile, and angle between missile and the target. That way it follows the target with small curves. If you understand what I mean..

That's a spell that I made for my map that in process ><
I wonder this will help you? Somehow, I haven't update the indexing system of this spell yet. Thus, this spell is still using an old indexing system. At least it still works perfectly well in my map.

Launch a missile that chases a target unit. The missile explode when it reaches the target or collide with any enemies, damaging nearby enemies within the 225 range of radius of the explode point.
