Stopping units from moving

[pOke]

Hello I am trying to make it so if the user orders a few specific units that are already placed on the map to move/attack they don't move, they just keep standing. I tried this:

• MoveCancel
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Knight 0011 <gen>
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Priest 0012 <gen>
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to HeroKnight 0015 <gen>
      • Then - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Ordered unit) to Stop
        • Else - Actions

But it doesn't do anything. Anyone have a suggestion?

Find action pause all/units that should work but where is this being used? It will help with answering your question.

I don't want them paused because the point of these units is so when someone clicks on them they are able to read tooltips which pausing would remove.

I see no mistakes. Maybe just set their movement speed to 0? So they won't move.

Pausing units will also pause the buffs.

Pause unit
order stop
Unpause

Or issue stop after 0.00 timer (not Wait).

This works for me right now!

However,
If more than one person should do this at a time would this bug?

• MoveCancel
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting an object
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order targeting a point
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
          • Conditions
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Knight 0011 <gen>
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to Priest 0012 <gen>
            • (Triggering unit) Equal to HeroKnight 0015 <gen>
      • Then - Actions
        • Set HeroStop = (Triggering unit)
        • Countdown Timer - Start HeroStopTimer as a One-shot timer that will expire in 0.00 seconds
      • Else - Actions

• HeroStopTimer
  • Events
    • Time - HeroStopTimer expires
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit - Order HeroStop to Stop
    • Set HeroStop = No unit

Yes, that could bug. You can use a unit group.

Yes, it looks better.

Thanks for all the help!

Maker, if using a Wait of 0.00 second, no matter how many units are there, it won't bug up.
Mind to explain why this is happening ?
Perhaps it's the cause of (Triggering unit) maybe.

Yes, it is because Triggering unit. Triggering unit isn't overwritten by the next instance of the trigger.

Using a wait results in a small delay that can be noticed. That is why a timer is better.

 

[Boar]

Doesn't the One shot timer have to wait for the next tick of the game engine to work?

So there's more or less a ~0.152 delay

No..
