what is wrong?

[Dracula]

i made this trigger, and when ever i use it, warcraft crash to desktop with no error messages.

• booster
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Is issued an order with no target
  • Conditions
    • (Issued order) Equal to (Order(stop))
  • Actions
    • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Move (Ordered unit) instantly to ((Position of (Ordered unit)) offset by 20.00 towards (Facing of (Ordered unit)) degrees)
        • Wait 0.10 seconds

well, i'm not sure, but maybe the "move instantly" action automaticaly give a stop order to the unit (for exemple, when the unit move, it is moved and stopped)

if i'm right, you've created and infinite loop:
when a unit receive stop order, you give it 20 stop order...

 

[Dracula]

yea i changed it and now my warcraft wont crash, but it moves the unit to center of the map, instead of position of unit...

 

[YoshiRyu]

so maybe the "Ordered unit" isn't the best event response
did you try with "triggering unit"? does it works?

From what i understand the unit will just move to it's current position, crashing the game, please expand on what you would like to happen.

i made the unit cast an ability, thats all i changed and added leak remove.

i want to make a trigger that when a unit uses this ability it will make them go zoom fast on where thier facing, so far what is happening now is, when a unit uses this ability it makes them move to center of map, the position of triggering unit is not working.

if it is doing that action 20 times i think it loses the point after the first time

 

[busterkomo]

This worked for me:

• Events
  • Unit - A unit Finishes casting an ability
• Conditions
  • (Ability being cast) Equal to Divine Shield
• Actions
  • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 20, do (Actions)
    • Loop - Actions
      • Unit - Move (Triggering unit) instantly to ((Position of (Triggering unit)) offset by 30.00 towards (Facing of (Triggering unit)) degrees)

Change divine shield to the name of your spell.

make sure you fix the leaks or you leak 20 point variables each time you cast the spell

 

[Deathclaw24]

why dont u just make the trigger so it moves the unit then add a wait and then copy n paste that 20 times

unit starts ability (or finishes)

move unit offset by 20
wait 0.01 (or w.e)
move unit offset by 20
wait 0.01 (or w.e)
move unit offset by 20
wait 0.01 (or w.e)

etc... 20 times

make sure you fix the leaks or you leak 20 point variables each time you cast the spell

That was just a quick 30 second trigger i made.

 

[YoshiRyu]

Deathclaw24, his trigger was crashing the game

doing exactly the same thing with an other paraphrase won't change anything

the move action order the unit to stop, so you can't use a move action in a stop order event detect, that make an infinite recursivity:
he order the unit to stop, that's run the trigger
the trigger order the unit to stop 20 time, that's rerun the trigger 20 time
the 20 triggers order the unit to stop 20x20 time
20x20x20
20x20x20x20
20x20x20x20x20
and it's never end until warcraft overflow the ram and crash...

PS: i'm not sure of all that, i haven't checked this

 

[Just_Spectating]

i would do this in such an easy fasion with maybe 1 leak in it which is probably easy to fix with a custom script but i have no idea how to work that thing lol

 

[YoshiRyu]

Nota: i've tested it and i'm right, the move instantly event issue a stop order to the unit.
