[Solved] Unit comes within range trigger issue

[Ixxl]

I have several triggers that orders a creep to move to a "beacon unit" which then orders the creep to move to the next "beacon unit" and so on. This works great for a single unit. The problem and the point of the trigger/s is that I want the beacons to be able to move (via the ability blink) and change the route that the creep takes.

Trigger breaks as soon as a beacon unit is moved. Creeps stops at the previous position of the beacon - not the current position of the beacon.

Here is an example:

• Beacon 1 Away
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Beacon 1 0042 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ship
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Beacon 2 Away <gen>
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Beacon 2 0043 <gen>)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

As the unit moves, triggers turn on/off the other required triggers. I have an idea of what the problem is but not sure how i can fix it. Thanks in advance for any input.

Are you sure 100% the trigger is on when the beacon moves? Is there any other trigger that turns this on? If yes, I need to see it.

Starting destination trigger:

• Trade Route Start
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Trade Route Start <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Trade Galley
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
  • Actions
    • Item - Pick every item in Red create goods <gen> and do (Hero - Give (Picked item) to (Triggering unit))
    • Trigger - Turn on Beacon 1 Away <gen>
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Beacon 1 0042 <gen>)

Followed by 3 beacon triggers all like this:

• Beacon 1 Away
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Beacon 1 0042 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Ship
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Beacon 2 Away <gen>
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Beacon 2 0043 <gen>)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Followed by the end destination trigger:

• Trade Route Sell
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit enters Trade Goods Drop <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Trade Galley
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Beacon 3 Return <gen>
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Beacon 3 0044 <gen>)

On the way back, there is a similar trigger to the second one I posted here which repeats the entire loop:

• Beacon 3 Return
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit comes within 256.00 of Beacon 3 0044 <gen>
  • Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Trade Galley
    • (Owner of (Triggering unit)) Equal to Player 4 (Purple)
  • Actions
    • Trigger - Turn on Beacon 2 Return <gen>
    • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Move To (Position of Beacon 2 0043 <gen>)
    • Trigger - Turn off (This trigger)

Triggers work just fine as long as I don't move the beacons - as soon as I move one, the route gets broken and the ship stops where the beacon used to be.

I am guessing I need to create a variable for the unit/position and a condition that checks to see if it is met, otherwise, repeat the loop/action etc - I am just guessing here with my limited knowledge.

try ordering them to follow the beacons rather than move to them.

• Actions
  • Unit - Order (Triggering unit) to Follow (The beacon)

Setting them to follow worked like a charm. Thank you Sir!
