A way to increase "Wanders" range?

[Killerphill]

so is there a way to increase the range effect of the ability "Wander" ?

What does this skill do?
Not everyone, including I, knows what it does.

None that I see. The best I could suggest would be a dummy wander with a triggered effect.

EDITILICIOUSNESS: Something like this... It's leaky but it works.

• Wander
  • Events
    • Time - Every 3.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Level of Bash for (Picked unit)) Greater than (>) 0)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of (Picked unit)) with size (500.00, 500.00)))

Change the region size to increase range. Not perfect, though. It wanders in a set rectangle, not a circle.

its a neutral ability that neutral passive units have which cause them to basically wander around, for example: a sheep with Wander would move around every where near hes spawn point like a confused sheep.

lol i hope you can understand my explanation.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

From what I see, there is no way.
You'd have to trigger it.

 

[CaptDeath]

no in the map City Of Drugs There animals with wander that walk all they way up and down the map
they Mechanical sheep do the same

 

[Azlier]

CaptDeath... Wander lets a unit walk all over the map. The range only limits the next move. After a series of moves, a wandering unit can get quite far.

i dont understand the condition inside the "unit group" ?

please explain

 

[Azlier]

The condition checks whether your unit has your custom Wander ability or not. It seems that I neglected to change the word Bash...

 

[Killerphill]

will it still work without the condition?

 

[Azlier]

Yes. On every unit in the entire map.

 

[Killerphill]

Just tested it on my map, every 3 seconds (when the triggers fires off) the game freezes for like a second...

so no good unfortunetly

 

[Azlier]

Possibly because it leaks and the fact that a whole lot of units are being ordered at once.

 

[Killerphill]

yep its cause a whole lot of units are being ordered at once.

ok how about this:
is there a way of creating a unit at a random location in region, but making the unit not be created on a cliff where it gets stuck!?

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Read Post #17.

 

[Azlier]

Alas, your efforts to clean the leaks have failed! It leaks one unit group at map initialization, and a rect every five seconds.

 

[WolfieeifloW]

Read Post #20 .

 

[Killerphill]

I don't know where to remove the group .

• Wander Initiation
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Level of Wander (Neutral) for (Matching unit)) Greater than (>) 0)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Unit Group - Add (Picked unit) to wanderGroup

• Wander
  • Events
    • Time - Every 5.00 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in wanderGroup and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set tempPoint = (Random point in (Region centered at (Position of (Picked unit)) with size (500.00, 500.00)))
        • Unit - Order (Picked unit) to Move To tempPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_tempPoint)

There.

i cant get the variable right! cant seem to find the "random" part

 

[Azlier]

Alas, your efforts to clean the leaks have failed! It leaks a point, and a rect every five seconds.

The point is (Position of (Picked Unit)).

The rect is (Region Centered at(...)).

THERE .

Also, for your question:
It's in the function list, Random Point In Region;
It's the second option.
