Wall spell not placing units in the right place

So, trying to make a "wall" kind of spell. It creates wall units in a circular pattern that acts as a prison. The problem is the following:
While I want the wall to be non-passable by ground units, I want it to be build in a pretty circle. Due to this, I can't use pathing or collision size as normal, because when summoned close to a building, some of them will be off their position. Even when collision size and pathing is 0/None, the problem occurs, albeit not as much. The trigger is as follows, the skill based off channel:

Trigger:
  • Prison of Force Casting
    • Events
      • Unit - A unit Starts the effect of an ability
    • Conditions
      • (Ability being cast) Equal to Prison of Force
    • Actions
      • Set TempPoint = (Target point of ability being cast)
      • For each (Integer A) from 1 to 38, do (Actions)
        • Loop - Actions
          • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 600.00 towards ((Real((Integer A))) x 9.47) degrees)
          • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
            • If - Conditions
            • Then - Actions
              • Unit - Create 1 Wall of Force for (Owner of (Triggering unit)) at TempPoint2 facing TempPoint
              • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint2)
            • Else - Actions
      • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)


And a small side-note: Does anyone know a good model for a wall of force? Haven't found any good among the regular ones and have unsuccesfully searched on hive workshop.
 
Shouldn't it be Integer A from 1 to 36

Trigger:
  • Set TempPoint2 = ( TempPoint offset by 600.00 towards ((Real((INteger A))) x 10 degrees ) )

Yeah, it could. First, my idea was to make the units have 50 collision size, because I though "create unit at point" created it at that point, no matter what might be blocking. With 50 collision size, 38 units would be needed to block a circle with a radius of 600 ((600*2*3.14)/100=37,7).

    News portal has been retired. Main page of site goes to Headline News forum now
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I am working on getting access to the old news portal under a different URL for those that would rather use that for news before we get a different news view.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Easily done

  • The Helper The Helper:
    https://www.thehelper.net/pages/news/ is a link to the old news portal - i will integrate it into the interface somewhere when i figure it out
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Need to try something
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hopefully this won't cause problems.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Hmm
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I have converted the Headline News forum to an Article type forum. It will now show the top 20 threads with more detail of each thread.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    See how we like that.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do not see a way to go past the 1st page of posts on the forum though
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is OK though for the main page to open up on the forum in the view it was before. As long as the portal has its own URL so it can be viewed that way I do want to try it as a regular forum view for a while
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Yeah I'm not sure what the deal is with the pagination.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    It SHOULD be there so I think it might just be an artifact of having an older style.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I switched it to a "Standard" article forum. This will show the thread list like normal, but the threads themselves will have the first post set up above the rest of the "comments"
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I don't really get that article forum but I think it is because I have never really seen it used on a multi post thread
  • Ghan Ghan:
    RpNation makes more use of it right now as an example: https://www.rpnation.com/news/

    What do you think Tom?
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    I will have to get used to this.
  • tom_mai78101 tom_mai78101:
    The latest news feed looks good
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I would like to see it again like Ghan had it the first time with pagination though - without the pagination that view will not work but with pagination it just might...
