Dash skill

[adeoin]

I need help on a dash skill i've been try to make. But im very nooby could anyone tell me how to start the turn on trigger. Mine looks this

 Events
    Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
Conditions
    (Ability being cast) Equal to Flame Dash 
Actions
    Set Caster = (Casting unit)
    Set TargetUnit = (Target unit of ability being cast)
    [B]Set Angle = ((Position of Caster) offset by (Angle from (Position of Caster) to (Position of TargetUnit)) towards 0.00 degrees)[/B]
Trigger - Turn on Flame Dash Move <gen>

I think i got the bolded part really wrong . When i was doing this i bsed that part and prentending i knew what 2 do. It sucked.... could any tell me what i did wrong.'

EDIT:the spell base is firebolt so i just want the caster to get to the target of the firebolt

Well, does it need to be MUI ? :S

And also, I see you've been trying to get an angle there, I mean the "Angle" variable..
That is a Point variable, right ? It's supposed to ba a "Real" variable, which should be set to only this:

Angle from (Position of Caster) to (Position of TargetUnit)

Though, that trigger leaks quite a bit...

You should read this tutorial on leaks

Then, in the other trigger, do something like this:

• Dash
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.05 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set TempPoint = (Position of TargetUnit)
    • Set Temp_Rect = (Region centered at TempPoint with size (5.00, 5.00))
    • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
    • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Temp_Rect contains Caster) Equal to True
      • Then - Actions
        • Set TempPoint = (Position of Caster)
        • Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 5.00 towards 0.00 degrees)
        • Unit - Move Caster instantly to TempPoint
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint2)
        • Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)
      • Else - Actions
    • Custom script: call RemoveRect(udg_Temp_Rect)

Haven't tested though :S

Hey Komagton i don't get this part within the trigger(thebolded part) Why would u set a variable then remove it before it is used?

* Dash

           Conditions

                [B][I]+ Set TempPoint = (Position of TargetUnit)[/I][/B]
                 Set Temp_Rect = (Region centered at TempPoint with size (5.00, 5.00))
                [B][I]+ Custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_TempPoint)[/I][/B]
                 If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                       If - Conditions
                             (Temp_Rect contains Caster) Equal to True
                       Then - Actions
                             Set TempPoint = (Position of Caster)
                             Set TempPoint2 = (TempPoint offset by 5.00 towards 0.00 degrees)
                             Unit - Move Caster instantly to TempPoint

Well, it's already been used (Set Temp_Rect = (Region centered at TempPoint with size (5.00, 5.00)))
And I didn't wanna use too many different variables (Lazy, lol XD) so I did it that way
