Spawning two units exactly on each other

[Zwiebelchen]

Errr, I know this problem sounds ridiculous, but I haven't found a solution even after two hours of trying ...

My problem is: I want a spellcaster to create a dummyunit on spellcast. So far no problem, but how can I make it that the dummyunit spawns exactly at the same spot as the spellcaster?

And please don't answer something like "set collision to 0". I'm not stupid. I already did that. I also tried to set the unit to "flying" and removed the collision of the caster temporary with the setUnitPathing() function. Nothing did work; the unit was always spawning beside the unit instead of the exact same location.
The dummy unit also has the same properties as the caster unit, same scaling, same flying height and min flying height.

My Spawning function uses "GetUnitX" and "GetUnitY" to detect the location of the caster. This can't be a problem either.

Spawn the unit and set its position again.

Use "SetUnitX" and "SetUnitY" custom script.


e.g

- set tmpunit = whatunit
- custom script: call SetUnitX(udg_tmpunit)
- custom script: call SetUnitY(udg_tmpunit)

Already tried that ... didn't work either.

myb add to dummy the locust ability? This will cr8 at the spot of the spellcaster, cos the locust ability is working like: when a unit has locust ability this unit cant be selected or targeted and u can walk over him

 

[Zwiebelchen]

The dummy already has the locust ability.

Hm, obviously its not possible to spawn a unit directly above another one. I solved the problem by simply ordering the dummy unit to move to the position of the caster. Works fine like this, though it feels a little bit like a workaround.
