Moving Units

[Almia]

Can somebody differentiate this to me? I think both of these codes do same things:
call SetUnitPosition(myUnit, x, y)
->

call SetUnitX(myUnit, x)
call SetUnitY(myUnit, y)
call IssueImmediateOrderById(myUnit, 851972) // stop

SetUnitPosition furthermore checks for pathing. SetUnitX/Y will move, ignore all pathing.

Edit: And interrupts current oder, but you already mentioned it.^^

setUnitX and Y do not take pathing into consideration. They also do not interrupt myUnit's current order. These scripts are excellent when you want to make a gravitation well-like ability that is pulling units inside and those units can try to "outrun" the force and run away.

setUnitPosition takes pathing into consideration, so unit may not be moved to the exact spot you want if there is already something else there. It also cancels current order
