[Trigger] turn rate

[PrisonLove]

okay so i have this hero with an ability called defensive gunner and basically it gives him extra damage and range but he has to stay still. its based off of bear form and he morphs into a unit with more range and damage bonuses, and a movement speed of 0. now here's the thing. when he attacks a unit that is behind or something, he doesnt turn to attack and it looks retarded. so i came up with this trigger

• defensive gunner turn
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is attacked
  • Conditions
    • Or - Any (Conditions) are true
      • Conditions
        • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mini-Gunner (stationary 1)
        • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mini-Gunner (stationary 2)
        • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mini-Gunner (stationary 3)
        • (Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mini-Gunner (stationary 4)
  • Actions
    • Unit - Make (Attacking unit) face (Attacked unit) over 0.40 seconds

but this doesnt work. so does anyone know how to get a unit with a move speed of 0 to face the unit it is attacking? thanks

why the "or" condition before every condition? Doesnt it supposed to be between every condition? :S

 

[PrisonLove]

i always thought that was "AND" that was between every condition. regardless, does anyone know how to solve this problem? im stumped

 

[Hemske]

Or should be between that too... It does nothing where it is, try put an "or" between every condition and not before the first. That might just be the prob.

 

[PrisonLove]

tried it, didnt work. anyone know?

 

[Hemske]

Ill give it a last try . You could try making one trigger per mini-gunner. With these triggers:

Unit - A unit Is attacked
(Unit-type of (Attacking unit)) Equal to Mini-Gunner (stationary 1)
Unit - Make (Attacking unit) face (Attacked unit) over 0.40 seconds

Maybe the conditions mess with eachother, so it might work if you create one trigger per gunner.

try movement speed 1, they will still be able to move, but very very slowly, and they should be able to turn around then

 

[Smiddle]

You could try having regular (like 270) movement speed and movement type "None".

NO! Set movement speed to 0(it may be 0 but the unit will move at a rate 1 per 30 seconds) and set movement type to anything other than none.

 

[PrisonLove]

is there a way to disable the move ability for a specific unit?

 

[Hemske]

movement speed to zero?

 

[spiwn]

There was a tutorial about how to make buildings able to turn.

 

[PrisonLove]

movement speed to zero?

okay isnt that what this whole thread has been about? if the movement speed is 0 it cannot turn. triggers dont seem help either so id like to make it so that the unit cannot move but still be able to turn. i used root but it has quite a deal of bugs so im not using it.

now, does anyone know how to make units which have 0 move speed turn when they attack?

...
Set their ms to 0. If via the object editor does not work(they do not turn) do it via triggers. I have done that several times, and it works.
And as another option, as I said, there is a tutorial on how to make a building able to turn - make you alternate unit a building that does not move, but turns.
Here is the link for those of you who are to lazy to go in the tutorial section... Link
