Move unit without disrupting its orders

[Kusanagi Kuro]

Hi guys. I'm trying to create a custom blink. But when I use Event Unit start the effect and then use the action Move unit instantly to Point, the spell itself doesnt go on cooldown. Here is the trigger if u ask for:

Preemptive Strike

• Preemptive Strike
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Preemptive Strike
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • ((Target unit of ability being cast) belongs to an enemy of (Owner of (Triggering unit))) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempReal = ((0.25 + (0.25 x (Real((Level of (Ability being cast) for (Triggering unit)))))) x ((Real((Agility of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses)))) + (Real((Intelligence of (Triggering unit) (Include bonuses))))))
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (TempUnit has buff Ruinga ) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Set TempReal = (1.50 x TempReal)
          • Else - Actions
        • Set DamageType = 1
        • Unit - Cause (Triggering unit) to damage (Target unit of ability being cast), dealing TempReal damage of attack type Spells and damage type Magic
        • Set DamageType = 0
      • Else - Actions
    • Set tempPoint = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set TempInt = (Random integer number between 1 and 4)
    • Set TempUnit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Create 1 Dummy for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at tempPoint facing Default building facing degrees
    • Unit - Add Stun PS to (Last created unit)
    • Unit - Set level of Stun PS for (Last created unit) to TempInt
    • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Neutral - Hurl Boulder (Target unit of ability being cast)
    • Unit - Add a 10.00 second Generic expiration timer to (Last created unit)
    • Wait 0.01 seconds
    • Set tempPoint2 = (tempPoint offset by 50.00 towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Special Effect - Create a special effect at tempPoint2 using Abilities\Spells\Undead\ReplenishMana\ReplenishManaCaster.mdl
    • Special Effect - Destroy (Last created special effect)
    • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to tempPoint2, facing tempPoint
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint2)

So basically, I want to know is there any possible way to move a unit from point to point but doesnt affect its issued order.

There is a way to move it without interrupting order. Give me a sec and I'll edit this post

• Set Point = (Position of (Triggering Unit))
• Set Unit = (Triggering Unit)
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_Unit, GetLocationY(udg_Point))
• Custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_Unit, GetLocationX(udg_Point))
• Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_Point)

That's the trigger right there, set Unit X and Y.

Custom script: call SetUnitX( TAKES UNIT, TAKES REAL)

And they are the input paramaters, first being a unit and the second being the x / y coordinate desired. GetLocation grabs the X or Y coordinate of the point.

So replace

• Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to tempPoint2, facing tempPoint

With

• Custom script: call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationY(udg_tempPoint2))
• Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationX(udg_tempPoint2))

If you want to detect for pathing, move an item to the point, check if it's in a (tiny 1x1) region area. And if the item isn't in that region, it's impassible:

• Set Point[0] = (Position of (Picked unit))
• Set Point[1] = (Point[0] offset by MovementNow towards MovementAngle degrees)
• Item - Show G_ITEM
• Item - Move G_ITEM to Point[1]
• Region - Center G_RECT on Point[1]
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (G_ITEM is in G_RECT) Equal to True
  • Then - Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(GetEnumUnit(), GetLocationY(udg_Point[1]))
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(), GetLocationX(udg_Point[1]))
  • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call SetUnitY(GetEnumUnit(), GetLocationY(udg_Point[0]))
    • Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(), GetLocationX(udg_Point[0]))
• Item - Hide G_ITEM

If your spell is custom channel, check ''Disable Other Abilities''

Right, slash. That's should work. Somebody have told me about it but I totally forgot .

 

[Boar]

I've updated the post again on how to check for pathing. Hope it helps

 

[deathismyfriend]

Slash u should store triggering unit into a unit variable b4 u get the position of triggering unit. I believe u can also use x of unit in GUI so u don't create a point variable. That way u don't have to clean a leak.

@slash, items collide with items, but units do not. So theoretically your script might make the unit unable to go through items.

And moving an item makes it visible, no need to show it separately

Dayum, I've been taught.

@slash
Since you are using JASS, why not fully utilize its efficiency by removing the call of location, and replace it with coordinates ?

• Custom script: call SetUnitX(GetEnumUnit(), GetUnitX(GetEnumUnit()) + udg_MovementNow * Cos(bj_DEGTORAD * udg_MovementAngle))
• Custom script: call SetUnitY(GetEnumUnit(), GetUnitY(GetEnumUnit()) + udg_MovementNow * Sin(bj_DEGTORAD * udg_MovementAngle))
