Hi, i made my own custom summon spell based off Channel, and added a trigger to it, what happens is...they appear and move nowhere...but i want them to move towards the caster...

First of all, when you spawn more than one unit at a time, the last created unit will only get the one created last, of course. Second, you can't move paused units...

Right away I see that you are creating 2 orc shamans but only assigning a variable to the last created one; so one of them will be unaffected by your triggering. And as azlier said, you can't order a paused unit to do anything (other than stop) and expect something.

Also, your whole group thing it messed up. First off, [del]I don't know why you are using the group, but[/del] unless you have a periodic trigger adding units to this group, the Wait until unit is in group waiting every 0.10 seconds will just pause your trigger.

Edit: Ok I realize that you are trying to move your units to a position then order them to stop, but there is nothing adding them to the group after this line: Set ReinUnitGroup = (Units within 200.00 of ReinCasterPos). You need a periodic trigger that resets the group, otherwise your "wait until" functions will just pause your trigger.

Fixed, thanx

Fixed, thanx

You're welcome; hope you checked the edits to my post. I edit a lot

That wasn't the problem, the units didn't move...I did have a periodic trigger every 0.1 seconds creating and destroying the group and the point

Well you should have mentioned that to save me some work. Glad your problem was fixed though.

 

[Charapanga]

Didn't think it was relevant with the whole 'move' thing

I suppose it wasn't immediately, but your next question would have been "why don't my units stop moving once they reach my point?" I try to think ahead

I'm not as stupid as i look
Thanx anyway

Haha I don't know you personally, so I just assume.
It was a problem that I found without an evident solution, so I pointed it out as any helpful person would.
