SetUnitPosition + PauseUnit vs SetUnitX/Y

[Spellbound]

I need to know which is faster. I know that SetUnitX/Y is faster because there are no pathing checks, but I've also heard that doing SetUnitPosition on a unit that's paused is even faster. Can anyone confirm or deny that?

If you're wondering if it's worth risking pausing a unit for SetUnitPosition, it's for dummy units carrying special effects around, so I can safely pause them without them getting killed and bugging out.

SetUnitX/Y combined are 6x faster than SetUnitPosition on a paused unit with disabled collision.

 

[Spellbound]

So SetUnitX/Y all the way then?

The only time you want SetUnitPosition is if you want an effect such as Locusts being able to be enumerated by unit groups.

 

[Spellbound]

Oh, well that's good to know. Thank

the only way you'd like to use SetUnitPos is when you have to make sure it won't stuck (playable hero f.i.)
for dummies use X/Y without any doubts

actually due to Stop order it will break Locust units but won't make them group-able.

It does make them enumerable if the locust unit has 0 default movement speed or if you removed the 'Amov' ability from them.

i just understood you mean a dummy unit, not a real moscito unit from Locust Swarm-like abilities. no idea why they are needed to be enumerated but w/e, ok

If you want to grab all projectiles in range for a missile system.
