Runner dosen't walk on the road

[Pekisa7]

Hello its Pekisa7 again. Its about the runner again. He just dosen't run to the region i triggerd him to run to. When he gets to the redirect eas or redirect west he just goes and than stops near a tree or a cliff then goes back to were he came from. I created bread crubs for him but that dosen't work. Can someone help. Here are the triggers :

• PathARedirect
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters RedirectWest <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Entering unit) Equal to Runner
    • ExitCinematicRunning Equal to False

    • Unit - Order Runner to Move To (Center of CenterPath <gen>)
    • Unit - Order Runner to Move To (Center of RunnerMoveTeleport <gen>)
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 8, do (Unit - Order Runner to Move To (Center of RunnerMoveTeleport <gen>))
    • Wait 2.00 seconds
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Im not a trigger head but doesn't it need if the runner goes to region 1, shouldn't there be a trigger after stating "then move to region 2" and so on.. because it seems that hes just moving towards one of them and then returning to his current location and not moving towards all the other paths you made.

I may be wrong but who knows.. I know theres ways you can make it be vJASS and LUA but im not sure how to do all that.

Im also thinking the runner just gets confused as there is so many regions to move to and no intervals in-between each of them.

 

[Nichilus]

you are not queueing orders, you are overwriting single order. Runner will move to RunnerMoveTeleport <gen> as that is the last command you are issuing.

I deleted all path b and a triggers and left runner move teleport . He just stands there by a cliff and goes back.

How to do those intevals and i dont think there are from to triggers.

How to do those intevals and i dont think there are from to triggers.

Please put all your reply's in one post. But, im not too sure how to do it without being on ur map or on the editor as im at work at the moment. You could open a test map and implement those triggers into it and mess around with movement triggers are right now hes just going to 1 region and then returning to his original position it seems. You are missing the triggers that state " Go here" and/then "Once he hits region 1 then/move to region 2" and so on.

Here's a very basic system for creating "Waypoints" that a Unit will move between (Point 1 -> Point 2 -> Point 3, etc).

• WS Initialize
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.00 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Hashtable - Create a hashtable
    • Set WS_Hashtable = (Last created hashtable)

• WS Get Next Waypoint
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to Move To Waypoint
  • Actions
    • Set WS_Unit = (Triggering unit)
    • Custom script: set udg_WS_Unit_Handle = udg_WS_Unit
    • -------- --------
    • Unit - Remove Move To Waypoint from WS_Unit
    • -------- --------
    • Set WS_Total_Waypoints = (Load -1 of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) from WS_Hashtable.)
    • Set WS_Index = (Load 0 of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) from WS_Hashtable.)
    • Set WS_Index = (WS_Index + 1)
    • Hashtable - Save WS_Index as 0 of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.
    • -------- --------
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • WS_Index Less than or equal to WS_Total_Waypoints
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Add Move To Waypoint to WS_Unit
        • Set WS_Waypoints[0] = (Load WS_Index of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.)
        • Unit - Order WS_Unit to Neutral Fire Lord - Volcano WS_Waypoints[0]
      • Else - Actions
        • For each (Integer WS_Index) from 1 to WS_Total_Waypoints, do (Actions)
          • Loop - Actions
            • Set WS_Waypoints[0] = (Load WS_Index of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.)
            • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_WS_Waypoints[0] )
        • Hashtable - Clear all child hashtables of child (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.

• WS Order Unit To Move
  • Events
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Custom script: set udg_WS_Unit_Handle = udg_WS_Unit
    • -------- --------
    • Unit - Add Move To Waypoint to WS_Unit
    • -------- --------
    • Hashtable - Save WS_Total_Waypoints as -1 of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.
    • Hashtable - Save 1 as 0 of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.
    • -------- --------
    • For each (Integer WS_Index) from 1 to WS_Total_Waypoints, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set WS_Waypoints[0] = (Load WS_Index of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation( udg_WS_Waypoints[0] )
        • Hashtable - Save Handle OfWS_Waypoints[WS_Index] as WS_Index of (Key WS_Unit_Handle.) in WS_Hashtable.
    • -------- --------
    • Unit - Order WS_Unit to Neutral Fire Lord - Volcano WS_Waypoints[1]

Here's an example of how to use the system:

• Demo
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing test as An exact match
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set WS_Unit = Runner
    • Set WS_Total_Waypoints = 4
    • Set WS_Waypoints[1] = (Center of PathB01 <gen>)
    • Set WS_Waypoints[2] = (Center of PathB02 <gen>)
    • Set WS_Waypoints[3] = (Center of PathB03 <gen>)
    • Set WS_Waypoints[4] = (Center of PathB04 <gen>)
    • Trigger - Run WS Order Unit To Move <gen> (ignoring conditions)

Here's the ability used in the triggers, it's based on the Channel ability.

The attached map requires the latest version of Warcraft 3 to open, but these triggers should work on just about any version.

Thank you so much! I will check this out.

@Pekisa7 I tried to open your map, but it just crashes my editor. I am on latest version. Are you on latest version? Do you use some other editor than the default blizzard one?

I deleted all path b and a triggers and left runner move teleport . He just stands there by a cliff and goes back.

Does the runner even see the target location? If it is too far through black fog of war, then the pathing engine won't know how to navigate the runner

I am on patch 1.31

Strange, I would've expected to be able to open it normally. But Blizz being Blizz, I can't say if the issue is in something in map, or Blizzard broke backward compatibility

Typical Blizzard Entertaiment . They always manage to break something.

Ehhh.... He just spawn and after 4 seconds he dissapears and he teleport to the region. How to fix this? And is the demo just a debug?
