[Trigger] What is the faster

[noob]

What is the faster and less buggier SetUnitPosition(unit whichUnit, real newX, real newY) or SetUnitX(unit whichUnit, real newX) with SetUnitY(unit whichUnit, real newY).

 

[Maker]

SetUnitX/Y are faster because they do not check collision (pathing). Those won't interrupt the current order of the unit.

SetUnitX/Y can cause problematic situations and potential crashes (due to units moved out of map bounds) if you do not check pathing.

You can also optimize your setunitx/y if you use it many times by creating a setunitXY function :

function SetUnitXY takes unit u, real x, real y returns nothing
    call SetUnitX(u, x)
    call SetUnitY(u, y)
endfunction

And setunitx/y is better for do some things like slide trigger, or something else which must don't interrupt orders.

 

[Bribe]

Vladadamm that does not optimize it but slows it down because it requires a function call that generates 3 locals.

I did not know that the native SetUnitPosition(unit whichUnit, real newX, real newY) checked the path thanks for the information.
(I were talking of the native indicated in JassManual).
