Triggered Line of Sight, how?

[stan0033]

hey everyone, i tried to make a trigger that checks if between the two units there is a something that blocks pathing and make them stop, but it's not working and I cant figuire out why.

Ideas?

• Line of Sight Spells
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Target unit of ability being cast) Not equal to No unit
  • Actions
    • -------- --------------------- --------
    • -------- --------------------- --------
    • Set LOS_PointCaster = (Position of (Casting unit))
    • Set LOS_PointTarget = (Position of (Target unit of ability being cast))
    • Set LOS_Distance = (Distance between LOS_PointCaster and LOS_PointTarget)
    • Set LOS_Angle = (Angle from LOS_PointCaster to LOS_PointTarget)
    • -------- --------------------- --------
    • -------- --------------------- --------
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to (Integer((LOS_Distance / 5.00))), do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set LOS_TempPoint = (LOS_PointCaster offset by ((Real((Integer A))) x 5.00) towards LOS_Angle degrees)
        • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
          • If - Conditions
            • (Terrain pathing at LOS_TempPoint of type Buildability is off) Equal to True
          • Then - Actions
            • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Stop
          • Else - Actions
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_LOS_TempPoint)

here check every point like 0 5 10 15 25 etc. until the other unit is reached

but it's not working!

What part of it not working? Detection? Movement

 

[stan0033]

detection and stopping

 

[Daffa]

I'm pretty sure the whole detection goes awry due to the pathing calculation OR since the loop is instant, it will only iterate at start spot. More likely the latter.

Use Text Messages/Special Effects to visualize and debug problems like these.

Create a message displaying Integer A inside of your loop.

Create special effects at TempPoint.

Create a message when your unit is ordered to Stop.

Also, you're checking Buildability, which is not the same as "blocked pathing".
