[JASS] Unit Move +REP

[Freyleyes]

I have seen in some spells that a unit is dragged to a target location. So iow the unit can still move, but it is dragged to a location. You can still order your unit to move left or right, but it still moves backward. My question, How?

I know it is done in JASS, but how? I use :

call SetUnitPositionLoc(u, point1)

But then the unit just moves, no animation or anything.

I hope you can understand what I am trying to explain.

Thanks in advance.

Unlike SetUnitPosition, SetUnitX and SetUnitY will not "stop" the unit. Try using that.

I have tried that, but I can't seem to get it to work. How do you set the direction in what the unit must move?

But thanks any way, know I know what to do, Ill try to figure it out.

// u is the unit to move
// tx and ty are the target x and y coordinates respectively.
local real ang=Atan2(ty-GetUnitY(u), tx-GetUnitX(u)) // this is the angle in which the unit must be moved.

SetUnitX and SetUnitY don't check for pathing, so you will need to do that yourself to prevent your units getting stuck in weird places (like inside a building).

Are you looking for a sliding or knockback function?

Try this: http://www.hiveworkshop.com/forums/jass-functions-413/knockback-unit-35545/

It requires NewGen World Editor however.

Anyway, that function just sets the unit to a specified location, instantaneously. If you want it to slide, you need to run a timer and move the unit inch by inch, making the impression that they are "sliding" to the location.

Just search for "sliding" functions, some should show up, even in GUI.
