[JASS] Spawning a unit exactly at the same spot as other unit

[The_Silent]

I have a problem, whenever I use any of the "CreateUnit" natives to create a unit ontop of another unit, they always spawn just a bit away. This is even true for flying units, units with no collision size and when removing the original unit before hand. Here is an example:

function SpawnCorpse takes nothing returns nothing
    local unit dead = GetTriggerUnit()
    local real x = GetUnitX(dead)
    local real y = GetUnitY(dead)
    local unit corpse
  
    call ShowUnit(dead, false)
    call RemoveUnit(dead)
  
    set corpse = CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(dead), 'n001', x, y, GetUnitFacing(dead))
  
    call SetUnitAnimation(corpse, "death")
    call PauseUnit(corpse, true)
  
    set dead = null
    set corpse = null
endfunction

So yeah, how can a spawn (or move) a unit to the exact same spot as another unit, without it checking for unit pathing / collision or whatever the problem is.

Did you try using SetUnitX and SetUnitY on the unit after you create it?

Tried it, didn't seem to work.

try setting a timer for 0.01 seconds or something after they are created. After that timer expires, move the units. I could check if this doesn't work, because I remember doing little permutations to try and solve the same issue.

You'll want to disable the unit's collision and then move it to that coordinate.

set corpse = CreateUnit(GetOwningPlayer(dead), 'n001', x, y, GetUnitFacing(dead))
call SetUnitPathing(corpse, false)
call SetUnitX(corpse, x)
call SetUnitY(corpse, y)

call SetUnitX(corpse, x)
call SetUnitY(corpse, y)

Works perfectly it seems. Thanks!
