How to land on "landable" place

[_markone_]

Ok guys here is my problem

I made some simple jump spell,

paused unit,
made invulvare,
added crow form,
moved for 0.01 sec for some time at some direction,
remove crow form,
remove inv,
unpause unit...

now problem is that sometimes happens that my unit land on place what is not "landable" like between 2 hills....

is there anyway to solve this?

thx

E
A unit enter region no land <gen>
C
A
Unit - Move entering unit instantly to region land <gen>

Huh, not so good solution, i would have to make bunch of regions over whole map?

Do an if then else

If
Walkablity is on at Temppoint = true

do actions

or, create a dummy unit, WITH collision, and then move unit (instantly) to the dummy's position. Needs a variable, and use this at the end of the spell

As I think Blackrage was trying to say...

Create a dummy unit, move it to the place your unit is going to want to land, and see how far away from there it ends up. The idea is, that if the area is pathable the dummy unit will be put on there exactly, but if it isn't pathable it will be spawned in the closest pathable place.

or just use terrain-type

if PATHING_TYPE_WALKABILITY == true then

is this really works? it looks like the best-easiest solution to me

but to the dummy will happen the same like to your caster (then both of your units will be imprisoned)

That is the system used by pretty much every good jump system I've seen.
You use it on Unit Begins Casting, check for if it's pathable (or somewhere near it is, Distance between(target point, Position of dummy) < 100.0 units) and if it is jump, if not order the caster to stop/move to where they currently are to cancel the spell.

The pathing walkable solution only works if there aren't any doodads on your map. At all.
