Collision Problem

[ocala1]

I have a problem in which the creeps spawn by a loop and i need the collision of the units off. I have set their collision to 0 but they still run into one another. If I add a trigger to the second one with the collision off command it lags the game horribly. Thats why its at the end after all the spawning. I have the trigger to turn off the collision when the loop is done, but it needs to be before so they don't collide while the loop is still running. I tried to use the following trigger to turn off collision on the units before they are spawned but there was no success.

I think i need to be able to specify a range for the array for this to work,but i'm not sure how or even if it will work.

• Collision
  • Events
    • Map initialization
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempGroup = (Units of type creepArray[(LVL)])
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in TempGroup and do (Unit - Turn collision for (Triggering unit) Off)

I cannot add the collision off command inside the loop here or it lags the game bad until all the creeps are spawned.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

WOW, what a confusing mess.. try asking aceheart, hes a genius

 

[ocala1]

Well my question basically is is there a way to turn off collision for units at map initialization without the units being spawned? That would solve this problem.

 

[Jedimindtrixxx]

theres a way without triggers:
Ghost(visible) for visible units or Ghost for invisibility
they are abilities, just add ghost(visible) to the unit and they wont have collision size

 

[ocala1]

Wow that was an easy fix lol. Thanks!!!

+rep (lol dont know how this works)

in ur first trigger u should use Picked Unit not Triggering unit, cos u dont have anything that triggers the unit
And where is that Count timer. Why r u using wait action with 0.00 seconds, u dont need that.
