"Slanted" Movement

[Isthisnametaken]

I am making a maze right now, and when I order a unit to walk to a certain location it will not walk straight there, but go slightly to one side and back. The unit is currently using the Fly movement type, and it's movement speed is 200 (I'm not sure if that changes anything anyways). Help a brotha out. Oh yeah, +Rep and a hug will be rewarded.

You mean that they stop?
Or walk in one way, and then back?

Hmmn, for the stopping, be sure that their collusion size = 0.

Should work.

No, they are not stopping. I will show you with ASCII.

I want the creep to walk like this:
.............................................>

Instead, it walks like this:
..........~''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''~...........>

Notice the curve.

I have noticed that, when ordering fly units with a trigger, sometimes they didn't move in straight line. Just use multiple move orders. Like this:
.....>.......>.......>.......>......>......>.......>
If this problems appears when player gives the order, not trigger, then I can't help you, sorry.

Yea, you could just do that, but i think it will stop sometimes then.

I would check for pathing blockers.

There's got to be something in the way that the unit is flying above.

No, the pathfinding is just stupid sometimes, when you order movement across the whole map.
The exact same thing happened to me, i just used multiple commands instead of one and it flew straight.

Thank you! You solved the problem!

*Hugs you*
