Random move...

[CoLd Bon3]

Hi! how i can make a unit move randomly around the map every second? please help! +rep for helping me!

 

[bloody_Mage]

do:

• Events
• Map Initalization
• Actions
• Variable - Set movepoint - position of Unit

• Events
• Time - Every 0.01
• Actions
• Variable - Set range - Distance between position of unit and movepoint

hope it helps.

• Events
• Value of real variable - range less than or equal to 50
• Actions
• Variable - Set movepoint - random point in region
• Unit - order Unit to attack move to movepoint

 

[Pharaoh_]

• Trigger
• Events
  • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game-time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set Points[1] = (Position of (Your unit))
  • Set Points[2] = (Points[1] offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 300.00) towards (Random angle))
  • Unit - Order (Your unit) to Move to Points[2]
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Points[1])
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Points[2])

Edit: Damn backup ;p

 

[defskull]

Or you guys could just... ADD "Wander (neutral)" ability to the unit ??????????????????/

hmmm... can you guys explain what are the variables? and Pharaoh_ , can you explain me what mean the script codes? thank you!

 

[CoLd Bon3]

Hmmm it don't work - just the unit moves one time but not a second time... here are my triggers:

• Trig 1
  • Events
    • Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Run Trig 2 <gen> (ignoring conditions)

• Trig 2
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Region 000 <gen>
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set Points[1] = (Position of (Picked unit))
    • Set Points[2] = (Points[1] offset by (Random real number between 150.00 and 300.00) towards (Random angle) degrees)
    • Unit - Order (Entering unit) to Move To Points[2]
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Points[1])
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_Points[2])

Variable : Type: Point, 2 array
Custom script : i don't know what this is , just copy from Pharaoh_

Please help!

That means: Memory Leaks

Also just use Wander ability as defskull already said!

 

[ap0calypse]

The unit doesn't move multiple times because of the "Picked unit".
That variable doesn't exist once it's run with Trig 1, thus there is no unit to move according to the trigger.

 

[defskull]

Trust me, use this ability instead:

Equip this ability in ANY unit you want in their "Abilities - Normal"

Ok, thanks! +rep for everybody!

but every second the point is set.The unit would walk and stop on the spot.the trigger i mentioned runs a check on whether the unit has reached the area and generates an area afterwards.

(Note to author: I'm sorry to go into this subject deeper, if you want a unit to move randomly: use Wander, like defskull mentioned a few times before).

but every second the point is set.The unit would walk and stop on the spot.the trigger i mentioned runs a check on whether the unit has reached the area and generates an area afterwards.

Still, "every 0.01 seconds" is NOT good: I always use every 0.032 seconds (JASS), or every 0.03 seconds (GUI).
And since it's just to check the distance between two points, every 0.30 seconds would do (also goes unnoticed).

Additionally, your triggers do not support multiple units (only 1 unit, if you want more units to randomly wander it'll fail).
And of course, you do not remove the leak (only change the variable to another location, it still leaks that way).

 

[CoLd Bon3]

ok. thanks guys!

 

[CoLd Bon3]

The wander ability moves the unit about every 15 seconds, i want every second and at long distances.

 

[ap0calypse]

"every second at long distances", the unit probably won't reach his final destination in one second.

I attached the base system (exactly as you described it), it probably needs some fixes, but this is to show you you should explain your problem correctly

 

[CoLd Bon3]

IT IS JUST PERFECT! but i don't know how to work with jass (i think that the thing that is in the trigger is jass) i don't even downloaded it...

 

[ap0calypse]

Wow, how can you know the trigger is in JASS without downloading it?
Either way, it's not hard: right-click the trigger and select "copy", go to your map and paste it

It should always work, BUT: it makes ALL units on the map move every 1 second, no exceptions (except locusts I think, but whatever, nobody cares about those).

 

[CoLd Bon3]

The only thing that worries me is that every unit will move... Lets say i have 10 units that have to move with the trigger and i have runner controlled by me (the runner don't need to make a random move) and if the runner touches the units - he dies. That's all i need, thanks again.

 

[ap0calypse]

I edited the above system. You do need to set up one thing now: check the first trigger ("vis") and change the "RunnerType" to the unit type of the runner. That'd be all.

I could do the touch runner-thing as well (not hard), but then it would require you to understand how I do things like that (I would create the runners via triggers, store them in a variable and then create a new event for every runner).

 

[mckill2009]

that's the problem of wander ability, just short distances
