Enable/Disable Movement

By: Silvenon

function MovementDisable_Conditions takes nothing returns boolean
    local integer i = GetIssuedOrderId()
    return (i == 851971 or i == 851986 or i == 851983 or i == 851990) and not GetHandleBoolean(GetTriggerUnit(), "b")
endfunction

function MovementDisable_Execute takes nothing returns nothing
    call DestroyTimer(GetExpiredTimer())
    call IssueImmediateOrder(udg_MoveUnit, "stop")
endfunction

function MovementDisable_Actions takes nothing returns nothing
    set udg_MoveUnit = GetTriggerUnit()
    call TimerStart(CreateTimer(), 0.00, false, function MovementDisable_Execute)
endfunction

function UnitEnableMovement takes unit u returns nothing
    call SetHandleBoolean(u, "b", true)
endfunction

function UnitDisableMovement takes unit u returns nothing
    call SetHandleBoolean(u, "b", false)
endfunction

function Init_MovementToggle takes nothing returns nothing
    call TriggerAddCondition(udg_Trig, Condition(function MovementDisable_Conditions))
    call TriggerAddAction(udg_Trig, function MovementDisable_Actions)
endfunction

function Init_UnitMovement takes unit u returns nothing
    call SetHandleBoolean(u, "b", true)
    call TriggerRegisterUnitEvent(udg_Trig, u, EVENT_UNIT_ISSUED_POINT_ORDER)
endfunction

A simple system which allows you to disable/enable user movement orders (right-click) given to a certain unit.

If someone is curious about the MovementDisable_Conditions function, these are the ID translations (thanks to PurplePoot):

• 851971 - smart
• 851986 - move
• 851983 - attack
• 851990 - patrol

Instructions:

• put this code in your map header
• create a global trigger variable named Trig and a global unit variable named MoveUnit
• initialize the system like this: call Init_MovementToggle()
• initialize the system for a unit like this: call Init_UnitMovement(udg_MyUnitVar)
• after calling Init_UnitMovement, enable/disable the movement with UnitEnableMovement(udg_MyUnitVar) and UnitDisableMovement(udg_MyUnitVar), example:

• Events
  • Map initialization
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Custom script: call Init_MovementToggle()

• Events
  • Unit - A unit starts the effect of an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Tornado
• Actions
  • set Caster = (Triggering unit)
  • Custom script: call Init_Movement(udg_Caster)
  • Custom script: call UnitEnableMovement(udg_Caster)
  • Wait 5.00 seconds
  • Custom script: call UnitDisableMovement(udg_Caster)

Requires: KaTTaNa's Local Handle Vars

The reason why I made this lame simple system is because I discovered that it doesn't work if ordering a unit to stop directly, but a timer is needed (some lame bug).



If this doesn't work right, please report it!

It would be better if you just make it one global trigger, then use an if-statement to check if that unit's movement should be enabled/disabled.

 

[Captain Griffen]

This doesn't stop movement commands ("move"), attack move commands ("attack"), or move to unit commands.

EDIT: And what is the variable F?

 

[Silvenon]

*Edited*

I just realized the previous version wouldn't work at all.

There is a Jump function and a whole spellpack waiting for you also

Welcome to the living, btw.

EDIT:

This doesn't stop movement commands ("move"), attack move commands ("attack"), or move to unit commands.

I thought that "smart" means any kind of right-click. Edited.

What is the orderstring of move to unit? "moveto"?

 

[Captain Griffen]

"smart" on a unit is not a point command.

"move" is when move is actually used, and "attack" when attack is moved (both either point or widget commands).

 

[Silvenon]

Yeah, I know that, I just thought "smart" meant any kind of right-click. Thanks.

 

[PurplePoot]

It does, but "Move" and "Attack" involve a left-click after having selected the right icon (through hotkeys or otherwise) from the command card.

 

[PurplePoot]

"moveto" does not exist.

Otherwise... You still need to disable patrol.

Here are the order IDs for you:

851986: move
851990: patrol
851971: smart
851983: attack

Also, why not put the GetHandleBoolean in the condition?

 

[Silvenon]

Fixed it, thanks.

I also used a global instead of attaching the unit to the timer (since timeout 0.00 means that it happens instantly, I hope). ISN'T THAT COOL???

EDIT: Maybe I should've put this in the small code snippets section?

 

[BlinkBoy]

can't you just make the unit play stand animation and then pause it?

 

[PurplePoot]

He wishes to allow AI movement, as well as attacks/etc.

EDIT: Maybe I should've put this in the small code snippets section?

If you want, go ahead, and I'll graveyard this.

 

[Silvenon]

He wishes to allow AI movement, as well as attacks/etc.

Actually, I don't know what I wish. I disabled it like this because I needed it that way for my map, and I figured out the bug, and posted here if anyone finds it useful.

Btw, pausing can lead to unwanted effects. Spell disabling, for example. And I wanted the unit to not move when it's ordered to, when with pause you can't even order it. Also, pausing the unit pauses the buffs, I think..............and so on.

If I wanted to make it with pausing, I wouldn't post anything since it's so damn simple that it's not worth posting.

 

[Captain Griffen]

You could just use a dummy unit with an ensnare based ability...would be easier and more effective (note that ensnare cannot be dispelled).

 

[Silvenon]

(note that ensnare cannot be dispelled)

Easier? How is that easier if it cannot be dispelled? The efficiency difference would probably be unnoticeable. Note that this is also a bug warn.

 

[PurplePoot]

It would change what he wants to accomplish, which is sort of unclear... Right now autoacquire works fine.

 

[Silvenon]

Arghhh I don't know what is that what I want to accomplish! I thought this was a good way to make the unit not move when it's ordered to, all other ways are kinda bad for that. This is good for a spell, for example a spell that makes the other player lose control of his unit, I don't know I'm just guessing.

I was just saying that with a timer it won't work, I thought somebody would find that useful. If not, graveyard it.
