[itachi7dan]

Well i really can't find a trigger that will help me check if a unit is moving or not... I need some help cuz i'm searching it for hours and still cant find it... if you haven't understand what i want i will explain again...

I want a trigger that checks if a unit has stoped and its not moving.

• Stop
  • Events
    • Your Events
  • Conditions
    • (Current order of (YourUnit)) Equal to (Order(stop))
  • Actions
    • Your Actions

just put in your actions/events.

 

[Maker]

• Yeah
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.25 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set ImHere = (Position of MyUnit)
    • Wait 0.10 seconds
    • Set StillThere = (Position of MyUnit)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Distance between ImHere and StillThere) Greater than 0.00
      • Then - Actions
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads I'm moving at StillThere with Z offset blah blah...
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 0.26 seconds
      • Else - Actions
        • Floating Text - Create floating text that reads I've stopped at StillThere with Z offset blah blah..
        • Floating Text - Change (Last created floating text): Disable permanence
        • Floating Text - Change the lifespan of (Last created floating text) to 0.26 seconds
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ImHere)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_StillThere)

There you go. Those floating texts are just for testing purposes, you can remove them.

That is not going to work since there is a very numerous amount of order strings that guarantee that the unit is not moving, such as War Stomp, Hold Position, Avatar, etc.

Secondly, (not sure on this one) I don't think that stop has got any order string.

To define whether a unit is stopped, the best choice is the Maker's. The other option -which is less flexible and depends on what you want- is the order comparison:
((Current order of (Your unit)) Equal to <Empty String> -> This is when a unit stopped.
To place the "empty string", when you are about to add the order, just delete the default "stop" and leave it blank, pressing Ok afterwards.

then you have to put in an Or condition, with hold position, stop....

You could also put in a continuous loop something that saves the unit's coordinates and checks if they have differed after a second or so...

oh...thanks a lot all of you... i owe you one

You'll have to put in a lot of conditions. There are also abilities for which you have no clue of the movement (such as Blizzard, Death Coil, etc.) It would be a very ineffective trigger, sorry.
