slide trigger?

[Gothok]

Hi, how can i make a trigger for units to slide like in ice escape?!?

I attached a demo-map.
It may be incomplete, depending on what exactly you want. The basis is there though.
Some (rather simple) GUI knowledge is required.

It's been ages since I coded in GUI, I hope I made it as efficient as possible...

i dont really know what gui or jass or whatever is...

GUI are 'regular' triggers.
The name comes from "Graphical User Interface", basically it's a coding language where everything has been done for you.

JASS is the raw form of GUI, and the actual coding language of Warcraft.

But really, what does that have to do with this slide trigger apart from the fact that you need to know it?

I've been through with this guy, and trust me, quite complicated ^_^

i do think you should use setUnitX(udg_unit, udg_RealX)
and setUnitY(udg_unit, udg_RealY), since some sliding map needs spell casting, and using setUnitX and Y doesn't interupt spellcasting, or any other channeling or commands.

and its a lot faster. xD.

but since it works just fine right now, i guess that should do.

...That's JASS, not GUI.
And if you want to do what you're doing, then you might as well want to turn everything in JASS, as the entire ITE is also inefficient in GUI. And while you're on it: polar projection: hideous! Math functions are a lot more gorgeous.

I only code in JASS, using locations is so outdated


But yeah, this is GUI, leave it in GUI. I dislike half-breeds. (So when I talk about 'efficiency' in a GUI system, I'm talking about GUI-only - aside from leak removal).

using custom script isn't that bad once in a while xD
lol, i also dislike half breed, but i realize GUI can't do everything on its own D:
ty xD
