[Spell] Spawning a unit at a certain location

[Josh The Jaunty]

My goal is to summon a unit behind the caster and have it do a action, my only problem is that i'm not sure how to set a variable to be specifically behind the caster.

This can be done quite easily, using the polar offset projection with a substraction of your caster's degree by 180.

You also want to check for unpathable terrain behind your caster.

Thank you for the fast reply, how do you get to "polar offset projection"?

This spawns the footman to the west

Instead of "toward 180 degrees" use "toward facing of triggering unit in degrees - 180".

(side note: that will leak two point variables)

What leaks if you might add?

 

[Kaijyuu]

Position of Triggering Unit leaks a point variable on its own, and then another point variable is created for the offset.


To fix, do something like:

TempPoint = Position of Triggering Unit
TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by [amount] toward [angle] degrees)

Then clean up TempPoint and TempPoint2 at the end of the trigger.
