[Trigger] Spell, How to Detect Movement for GUI / Triggers

[Losam]

Good morning, afternoon or evening,

I hope that you carefully read this message and thank you for your patience and kindness. Well, I'm unsure of how to detect if a unit is moving or not by GUI.
I want to create a spell based on whether the unit is moving or not, an example of such is the spell Rupture. Also, if you can help, send me a link, or show the triggers that can contribute (I can return the favor with reputation points).

Thanks!

Using a unit indexer is optional with that method.

Depending on Current order of unit, you must check if current order of unit not Equal to "smart"

Orders are not a good way, since when a unit is ordered to use an ability on a very far-away unit, then that ability will be its current order.

The best way I know is simply checking the coordinates of the unit every 0.03 seconds.

you're right

Indexing and Order Checks would be better then a coordinates check.. Wouldn't it? I mean speed and lag-wise.

True, but it's not really very relevant. The actual looping takes more power than comparing 2 numbers(coordinates) instead of one(order).
Also, orders still have too many situations where they don't give an accurate result.
For instance, if you order a unit to attack another unit, then is the first unit moving? You can't know, since attack can apply to attackmoving, but also to standing and attacking.

I use a combination of order and position change checking to see if a unit is moving on their own or as a result of some code moving them. It only fails in one case (a very rare case that I've never even seen), so it's pretty accurate, but it's only for vJASS.
