Stop units using Regions

[nightelfbuilder]

how to make a trigger that uses region to stop a unit from moving? I mean the region will act like a path blocker.

Moved to WorldEditor HelpZone, as Triggers & Scripts if you already have existing code.

Is the region staticely, or may it be moved? Maybe creating pathing blockers at borders is a solid solution.

An alternative would periodically to keep track of units in the region, and once they're outside the region (boolean condition) we need to do approrpiate operations... maybe like moving unit a bit closer to center again and ordering "stop". Calcularing the exact border distance would work, too, but it probably not too nice in GUI.

If it is to stop all units from entering then one can algorithmically fill the pathing of the rect (GUI Region) cell by cell. If it is to stop only certain units it is not possible directly, but one can repel units away from the rect as soon as they enter using SetUnitX/Y on a 0.03 period timer.

I'm really sorry i didn't notice your reply.

I need the region to act like a pathing blocker that blocks both air and land unit from entering the region, i tried the "Order Unit to Stop Trigger", I'm really bad at triggers and I need help really badly.

One can algorithmically fill the pathing for all cells in the rect to be unpathable.

How? lol im really bad at this.

 

[Dr Super Good]

For every cell in the rect you set the pathing to the desired pathing. One starts at a corner of the rect then iterates through every cell using a 2 level nested loop. Assuming a cell is 32*32 units then the inner loop will add 32 to the current x coordinate and reset it to the one edge of the rect at the loop end. The other loop will add 32 to the y coordinate. The loops end when reaching the opposite edge of the rect.

Since there are a lot of cells per unit area this can be prone to hitting the op limit for larger rects.

Does placing pathing blockers for air & ground not work in editor?

I'm about to reach the doodad limit that is why I'm trying to find alternatives. Wait, do pathing blockers count as doodads or can the take up space?

Do you use WEX editor? I think there is a "No limits" option.

I'm using the default editor.

SharpCraft World Editor Extended Bundle , it might be worth to try it out. ; )

The image doesn't work for me, but it's probably best if you look at the thread, and ask @MindWorX there personally, in case something is not working.

Follow the instructions. It asks if you want to configure, and you want to, so hit yes and find the right file.
