Weird bug, unit not going to the place

[NeosDany]

• Event: Generic unit dies
• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
  • If: Conditions
    • (Unit-type of (Dying unit)) Igual a Effect ( Panda split 1 )
  • Then: Acciones
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    • Set TempInteger = (Level of Position ( Trigger ) for (Dying unit))
    • For each (Integer IntegerLoop[1]) from 1 to 3, do (Actions)
      • Bucle: Acciones
        • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 900.00 towards ((Real(IntegerLoop[1])) x 120.00) degrees)
        • Unit - Create 1 Effect ( Panda split 2 ) for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint facing Vista building predeterminada degrees
        • Unit - Order (Last created unit) to Move to TempPoint2
        • Unit - Add Spellbook ( Position ) to (Last created unit)
        • Unit - Set level of Position ( Trigger ) for (Last created unit) to TempInteger
        • Unit - Add a (Random real number between 1.00 and 2.00) second Genérico expiration timer to (Last created unit)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint2)
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)
  • Other: Actions

Everything works except for "order last created unit to move to TempPoint2", I've tested "TempPoint2" creating units there, and these are correct, but the units do not move.

My units have the locust ability, they can walk and have move speed.

I've deleted every trigger in my map to test if something else was causing this error to occur, but nothing.

What could it be?

Might you create a small demo map with the problem?

Locust tends to be unregistered by triggers. I suggest to add them after creation.

Seconding this. Locusted units are unfortunately exempt from most triggers, you can't even loop through them with a region or a rect.

The only way to be able to manipulate locusted units that I know of, is if you manually store the unit handle to the locust in a global array somewhere, and then use that.

Can you elabroate what unregistered by triggers means?

The created unit is stored into a global, bj_lastCreatedUnit, which is then used. And if there is no other trigger interferring here, not sure if this is the issue.

They don't appear in damage events, order events, rect enumerations and other things, making it hard to work with them.

Hmm, now that you mention it, yeah, that's strange.

My guess is that adding the Locust ability makes the unit stop for one reason or another.

1. Unit created
2. Unit ordered to move to point
3. Unit given Locust causing it to stop

This is entirely conjecture, but it might be worth reordering those steps.

 

[IcemanBo]

Order events work fine also for aloced units. For damage event it needs to be specified, but can be added, too. But yes, rect- and range enums don't get aloc units, and one would need to enum through PlayerUnits when wanting to catch them in a group. But maybe it has not much to do with being unregistered from a trigger, hm.

Have you tried adding locust with triggers after creating the unit instead of giving it to them innately?
