Slide unit without forgetting orders

[FireBladesX]

How do I move a unit without making it forget it's current order? (Continue attacking while sliding)

 

[XeNiM666]

pause the sliding unit

 

[FireBladesX]

Oh. I worded it funny, I guess.
I meant so that if a unit is attacking, and you slide it, it doesn't stop attacking.

Use Jass for the sliding.

And if I don't know jass...<3

I'd say try this system, but.. Dunno if it's reliable

USE AT YOUR OWN RISK: (Possibly.. -_-)

You will have to use

SetUnitX()
SetUnitY()

instead of

SetUnitPosition()

In GUI, move instantly converts to SetUnitPosition, so you will need custom script.

So, what's the custom script to set a unit's x to a variable and arithmetic (addition and subtraction)?

Actions
    Set Temp_Position[0] = (Position of (Triggering unit))
    Set Temp_Position[1] = (Target point of ability being cast)
    Set Temp_Position[2] = (Temp_Position[0] offset by 20.00 towards (Angle from Temp_Position[0] to Temp_Position[1]) degrees)
    Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationX(udg_Temp_Position[2]))
    Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), GetLocationY(udg_Temp_Position[2]))
    Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Position[0])
    Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Position[1])
    Custom script:   call RemoveLocation(udg_Temp_Position[2])

Let's say I want to set the position to the variables ParaX and ParaY (Real numbers), with the value of the array being [ParaInt + 5].
I'm not very jass-fluent, would you mind showing me the script for that?

 

[Expelliarmus]

with the value of the array being [ParaInt + 5].

I don't quite get you.

Actions
    Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaX)
    Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaY)

Actions
    Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaX)
    Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaY)

I think he means udg_ParaX and udg_ParaY's are real arrays, and the array value being used is [ParaInt + 5] :

Actions
    Custom script:   call SetUnitX(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaX[udg_ParaInt + 5])
    Custom script:   call SetUnitY(GetTriggerUnit(), udg_ParaY[udg_ParaInt + 5])
